Greetings from NYC.
I’m looking over the Nike itinerary and part of the time is a chance for 1-on-1 interviews with the presenters.
As Ruben Brown is presenting the Pitt unis, I now have to figure out what to say to him other than, “Gee, you sure are big.”
Suggestions welcome.
However he is an extremely likeable guy. He had a radio show for years in Buffalo which was very popular, and he is funny and charitable. I’m sure you’ll enjoy speaking to him. If you are able to plan ahead, get an audio recording and post it on the blog
If he envies all the new facilities around Pitt? Fitz House vs Pete; Pitt Stadiums Lockeroom to the duds at Heinz…
You can ask if that going to Pitt in an urban campus gave him an advantage in his Pro Career as a player in name recognition and allowed him to hone his media skills for his career after the Pros.
You could be a downer and ask the moral question if it’s wise to use uniform technology to increase speed in such a violent game at the college level…given the new information on concussions every other month.
Ask him if anyone beat Marino’s record at the Cathedral of Learning?
You can fake Pro Bowls on reputation. You can’t fake 4 All Pro Teams.
At the end of the day, that’s the best we can ask for.
