Hope everyone had a good holiday break. It’s been hectic.
Big week for Pitt. Starting with Purdue at home courtesy of the Big 10/ACC Challenge. When the pairings were announced in the offseason, both were projected as middle-of-the pack teams in their conferences.
Now, Purdue made a very late coup in getting Caleb Swanigan to decommit from Michigan State. They have big size up front. The Boilermakers after what had been a few years of bad injuries and some struggles made the NCAA Tourney last year and have surged to 11th nationally.
Pitt, well, we still don’t know for sure. The half that never happened looked promising, but then Gonzaga went out and lost another game. Still, this has become one of the more intriguing games in the Challenge.
Both Purdue and Pittsburgh have performed better than most expected so far this season — although, it should be noted, neither has played a ranked team. Purdue’s best win is probably Florida, and Pitt’s best win is probably … I don’t know … Kent State? My point is that neither has been seriously tested. But that should change Tuesday night, when one of these programs will take its first loss of the season.
The game tips at 9pm (hopefully) on ESPN2.
So far it is Upitt, Ted and me + ?????
Went to Doc. Z pack and Steroids and cough syrup with a hydro codine that is lovely. Painkiller syrup. Still coughing but productive. Have bronchitis.
All that pent up anger and frustration will make a man sick.
Get better before Christmas! Yes, I dared to use the C word, lol.
Any combination of the above means TROUBLE for Jamie and Co. tonight.
I certainly don’t think they can be overlooked by an means … they haven’t beaten anyone real good but they are 6 and 1. They beat PSU by 25 .. PSU won at BC on Wed night
I appreciate the advice.
Saudi Arabia basically owns Obama. He is an embarrassment. Domestic Oil and Gas firms will go belly up bc he is scared of the Saudis.
This Oil thing will cause a war in 3-4 months just watch or OPEC will fall apart.
LSU wanted Jimbo but Money was the issue.
I’m a half-Arab kid who grew up eating food bought with food stamps and who in 2013 was beat up by undercover Pittsburgh cops. I have plenty of retorts for you, dude, but for the tranquility of the site I bite my tongue repeatedly. I’m asking you to squash the politic talk out of respect for another Pitt grad.
10.5 seems like a lot to give the Dukes, they have a 6’11” center and Micah Mason can hit 3’s all day. I can see a loss here and to Davidson.
Ignore him … he is harmless (unless he actually is as angry his rants …. then who knows?)
Hope you all paid for the secondary sport cable ter.
James, you are on my prayer list. I have recovered from kidney cancer (renal carcinoma)5 years now. Would not have been possible without the prayers of God’s people (sorry that’s not politically correct).
Prayers to JC and family.

“I know there are so many people in the world who were told by their doctors this week that they also have cancer. I want them to know that together we can-and will-beat cancer.
“I will play football again. I will be at Heinz Field again. I have the best coaches and teammates in the country. I thank God I chose Pitt because now I also have the best doctors in the country and together we will win. I know this city has my back.”
I said a prayer for James and his family immediately after hearing the news. James, we have been blessed to have you be apart of the Pitt family and we have enjoyed the effort on the FB field. We’ll continue to pray for a “cancer free” report from your doctors when they complete their work.
Be strong young man…
HTP!
