Danny Marino was back in town taking part in a charitable donation Big Check photo op with Anthony’s Pizza. Here it is:
Now… here is an old treat. It is a 55 minute ‘look-back’ at Pitt’s football history. It was made in 1989 so it is dated but for those who don’t really know why us old guys bitch so much – here is the reason.
Narduzzi needs to show this film to all recruits, especially the local guys.
Pop Warner, Jock Sutherland and the guys that played for them are all but forgotten outside of Pittsburgh. Really should be more of an effort to keep their stories alive since they really are relevant to the beginning of collegiate athletics.
Should be more of an exhibit at the Great Hall.
No question, PITT’s claim to fame is legit. But it always comes down to what have you done for me lately.
I am starting to verbally assault all the Penn State people I see as a matter of routine. I think they stay away when they see me coming. At least, I’m seeing a lot less PSU gear at the grandkids games.
My grandson plays for the semi final county high school lacrosse championship this evening. Win or lose, it is a bunch of fun.
Happy for Jamie. We know he can coach. Now he’s got at least one right Asst. to recruit.
How many with an ace O-Line win 6 or 7 games?
“1. Pitt. The Panthers return four of five starters from a unit that helped lead the program to sixth in the ACC in rushing despite losing reigning league player of the year James Conner in the opener. Adam Bisnowaty and Dorian Johnson look to produce a third straight 1,000-yard rusher while anchoring the left side, while Alex Officer moves from right guard to center to replace Artie Rowell.”
Really excited about the strength/depth of our OL this year. Expect to see a crushing running game (with enough passing to keep the DB’s honest).
I have been falling into the “tougher schedule” trap all spring, and thinking about a break even record. Lately, I have been thinking about HCPN during the NCAA Championship Game this winter. He was practically calling the plays before they happened. I’m beginning to think our head coach may be worth a couple “W’s.
I’m afraid the Kool Aid is starting to flow again this year. Move over TT!!!
We are deep at RB & Oline of the offense, so the coaches “should” play to that strength.
We are also fairly deep at DE and S – I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what strength to play to on D, but HCPN has proven that side of the ball is his strength. I believe he will stay involved with the D to make that a better unit and he will once again trust his OC to “own” the O. This time though, he knows the guy and probably has a more “comfortable” trust level with Canada.
The special teams should also continue to be a strength, although Blewit will need to be more consistent.
The coaches should also improve with their in game management skills over last year where I believe they won a few games last year that previous staffs would not have.
I don’t consider Clemson a lock for a Pitt loss because of one thing – HCPN. He wants to win now and that “stirs” my koolaid.
And then we do it for the next 3 years as well.
Nah, I didn’t think so either.
PSU and the Commonwealth of PA paying off raped children in the millions and Sandusky’s lawyers trying to get him off on a technicality.
Paterno’s Family and friends still trying to protect his “honor”, even though he knew about the architect of “linebacker U’s” crimes for 35 years when he said he should have done more.
They should have got the death penalty and Paterno’s name stricken from the record books.
Hypocrisy
Talk about a cover-up
All apparel proceeds should go to the molested victims or similar non-profit organization to help sexually abused children.
The whole truth will never come out. Sad!
Texas a&m got crushed today due to social media. So important to think before you tweet.
