January 11, 2016

It’s the end of the college football season. Pitt isn’t a participant, but Head Coach Pat Narduzzi will be taking part in the Film Room telecast of the game on ESPN2 starting at 8:30.

Feel free to comment on his brilliant insight and how recruits should be beating a path to Oakland if they are paying attention.

Other potential topics besides the game itself.

Jordan Whitehead named a Freshman All-American by the FWAA.

That school in the middle of nowhere now has their O-line coach bolting to Auburn. We now cut away to Pitt O-line Coach John Peterson — and someone who may have had a few exchanges on twitter and possibly elsewhere with Herb Hand — for a comment.

Well said.

Pitt basketball is now top-20 in both polls.

David Bowie.

Crap. Now I can’t think about the end of The Force Awakens without being convinced Luke is drunk.





Boyd is somewhat of an enigma. He has shown breakaway ability on some kickoff and especially punt returns in the past … but not so much on pass receptions, especially this past season.

Ford is very strong after the catch.

Pitt to visit with Diouboute. That would be a home run.

Dantonio really going hard after PSU recruits. Doing a favor for himself and his ole buddy?

Blood in the water.

PSU new O-line coach also a Central Grad. Wait what?

Comment by gc 01.14.16 @ 11:02 am

wbb, two things on Boyd. Used mostly as a possession receiver this year catching passes in a crowd. Just my opinion but I think he was pretty beat up this year, Saw him limping on numerous occasions. Don’t think he was able to make those dramatic cuts he made in his first two years. Also upper body was slammed a few times as well. Possession guys take more and harder hits.

Comment by gc 01.14.16 @ 11:10 am

Peterman will have even a better 2016. He has an upside because he has the arm to make all the throws and this past year was really his first as a starter.

Comment by notrocketscience 01.14.16 @ 11:21 am

HoopieFan, giving Obama too much credit. Maybe Fracking and Flyash dumps collapsing had something to do with it.

Help! I fear this thread is headed down the political rabbit hole again.

Comment by dinosaur 71 01.14.16 @ 11:44 am

dinosaur, afraid you’re right. Only conservative rants are allowed here — those are apparently the ground rules.

Comment by wbb 01.14.16 @ 11:48 am

I think Winfree and Ford are a great combo for next year. A possession type like Challingsworth as number three is fine too. Also think Orndoff will flourish. If Conner and Ibrahim are back with Ollie and Hall and occaisional Whitehead, skill positions look good next year. Johnson, Officer, O’Neill, Biz and Jones-Smith with Bookser a year older make the O Line big and experienced. Offense is the least of our worries. Now if we come back with same D Line (even with Price returning) and the same LBs, defense could be ugly.

Comment by Sam_in_215 01.14.16 @ 12:12 pm

Right wbb, 5 slams of Hillary and Obama on the ND game thread. They can’t help themselves. But put up a response and the blog is getting political again.

Comment by gc 01.14.16 @ 12:17 pm

Yeah, just ask Upitt!

Comment by tedsptman 01.14.16 @ 12:20 pm

By the way the Youtube is funny no matter which way you lean.

Comment by gc 01.14.16 @ 12:31 pm

I get enough politics from other media. This is an escape place from it. H2P

Comment by Frank MD 01.14.16 @ 12:36 pm

Sam, probably explains why Duzzi has emphasized the D side so much in this years recruits. Absent that is for not locking down some solid 4* DT’s IMO.

Comment by jrnpitt 01.14.16 @ 12:45 pm

Par Amara transferring to UMass. Best of luck, Pat … get your degree.

I’ve said it before….
Jester Weah = Limas Sweed

GREAT TOOLS…..NO TOOLBOX

Brights lights go on….the dropsies occur. 🙁

Comment by The Truth 01.14.16 @ 1:13 pm

Looks like RB Coach Powell just met with Miles Sanders this morning….

Comment by Pittscript 01.14.16 @ 1:29 pm

Interesting the Franklinstein’s last 2 hires were WPIAL/Central Catholic graduates… and elevates Smith as well…

Ehmmmmm, seems like Nard Dog and NewEra Pitt is in the Chrome Dome’s Head… rattl’n around in there.

Meanwhile Duzz Crew goes totally national in their recruiting…..

BTW, never have seen anything credible about Canada’s recruiting strengths/areas

Comment by Pittscript 01.14.16 @ 1:31 pm

Chip Kelly to 49ers … so he won’t be replacing Franklinstein as I actually read a few different places.

Canada and OL coach Peterson met with WR Flowers and about to meet with MacVittie .. both in same general area

Comment by wbb 01.14.16 @ 1:54 pm

@wbb

Maybe Kelly thinks that he can do both jobs.

And to think a Pitt Grad wrote this…all of our Pitt degrees take a hit when people who write stuff like this are walking around with a Pitt degree.

Comment by milobloom 01.14.16 @ 2:26 pm

If he was still in Philly, it would be a snap … but not now

Comment by wbb 01.14.16 @ 2:27 pm

Steelers are moving to Dublin .. and Art will be Ireland ambassador (like his dad)

and they will be throwing Harp and Guinness bottles at Andy Dalton when he leaves the field

Comment by wbb 01.14.16 @ 2:30 pm

NFL owners go where the money is. WA Redskins play in MD and train in VA. NY Giants and Jets not even in NY. Saint Louis taken for a ride. Irsay took the Colts from Baltimore in the middle of the night. Pitt demolished it’s own stadium to play at Heinz. On and on and on ….

Trump/Voytik 2016. “The Emel Ticket”

Comment by VictoryLites 01.14.16 @ 3:20 pm

Anyone taking Pitt and the 7 points tonight? It would be a good win if we can get it on the Louisville home court.

Comment by jrnpitt 01.14.16 @ 3:53 pm

The Trump/Voytik 2016 campaign video is out already.

Comment by Jackagain 01.14.16 @ 4:00 pm

Too late for the browns to be the Los Angeles Browns. Haslam had a great line at the presser. I have succeeded in all my businesses….except this! The reason he is failing is that he treats it as a jock sniffing exercise and not as a business. Manzier should have never been drafted. If it was me, I would not waive him. If I couldn’t get a trade, I would sit him and pay him and never take a snap, letting his skills erode for two more years of no live football.

Had I won the powerball, we would have had an OCS by this time next year fellas. I have made millionaires out of multi-millionaires.

Interesting to see Dantonio going after Dairy College recruits. A wise move would be to go after them hard and tell them, if not MSU, than Pitt is your better option. Maybe a Pat Signal over the weekend at the latest?

Comment by dhuffdaddy 01.14.16 @ 4:01 pm

Just watched Peterman highlights from earlier post. Forgot how many good pass plays he had over the course of the year.
Also, VictoryLites@3:20. Shame on you! If you really knew my Blather pal Emel,it would definitely be Voytik/Trump 2016!!! …..Whom I personally would gladly take over Hillary/Sanders! LOL
Enough politics please….

Comment by pittman4ever 01.14.16 @ 4:10 pm

LOL, Dhuffdaddy. I made the same commitment to some longsuffering fellow alums via email just prior to the drawing last night.

I would have asked for naming rights. I was thinking Pitt Panther Stadium and Joeknew Field.

Comment by dinosaur 71 01.14.16 @ 5:10 pm

Please milo.

One cannot predict the future but dont discount future possibilities. I bet you thought Pitt would go 6-6 again this year.

The probability of the steelers playing at a new field somewhere in 10-15 years is very high. And that somewhere in all likelihood is further away from the city. Call it an educated guess. I’m making my Pitt degree work.

Maybe those who sit on the sidelines and dont comment fear those like you???

Comment by TX Panther 01.14.16 @ 5:12 pm

Vefore Heinz field was built. Washington county tried to get the stillers

Comment by DCPinPGH 01.14.16 @ 5:24 pm

WV could build a new Steeler stadium about 10 miles outside of morgantown and the Steelers and the ‘ears could share it. They could bus the students to and from the games. It would be prefect. Hey, their closest in-conference road game is like 900 miles away so a short bus ride to a home game should be like a walk in the park.

Comment by dinosaur 71 01.14.16 @ 5:24 pm

I like Pitt +7, it’ll be nice to see how our offense plays against a good defensive team.

Comment by ShorePitt 01.14.16 @ 5:30 pm

“The probability of the steelers playing at a new field somewhere in 10-15 years is very high.” TXPanther
Only thing “high” here is somebody who would make statements like this just to get people going on this board.
The probability is also very high that you won’t be going to game in Pittsburgh in 10 or 15 years so why do you even care?
Your knowledge of Pittsburgh is so bad it’s laughable.

On to Louisville game…if they somehow win this game with the schedule the next few weeks getting in to top ten would actually be doable….even the most optimistic Pitt fan didn’t predict that.

Comment by milobloom 01.14.16 @ 6:25 pm

You no nothing about me. You are ignorant and a poor representative of Pitt. You might even have a Nitter vagina between your legs and that is very unfortunate.

Comment by TX Panther 01.14.16 @ 8:37 pm

To the poster that suggested Weah = limas sweed…..

That would suggest that Weah had an excellent college career……and the performance of sweed in the NFL quite frankly is not relevant.

Poor comparison……
