Friday Bits and Pieces; June 3rd

Filed under: Football — Reed @ 8:44 am

Matt Cavanaugh is a cinch for the College Hall of Fame… everyone knows that!

There, now that’s been said…

Here is a great starter paragraph for a Friday morning at work.  Pitt’s E. J. Borghetti narrates this great ‘look back’ at the Big East and Pitt’s place in it.  Now college fans tend to scoff at the BE when discussing it but at the time there was some great talent, and some great teams, competing in it.

Some of the highlights of this video are the very good QBs Pitt had back in the BE days; Gonzalez, Rutherford, Palko and my favorite Alex Van Pelt (best play-action faker ever).  EJ talks about our great WRs like Lee, Jells, and Fitzgerald and how we sold out Heinz Field (66, 207 attendance for a VT game).  Of course and without saying, even though I am saying, we see the crushing of WVU’s national championship hopes when Pat Bostick and LeSean McCoy put up the yards and the 13 points needed to win that match.

The Big East was pissed about that and Rich Rodriquez never recover from it and left the school. That part never gets old and the SOB doesn’t mention how well Pitt played even once.  Take a look at the Pitt student on the right at the 2:48 – 2:50 mark…:)

Speaking of RichRod – take a look at the first minute or so of this video.

Then E. J. follows up with another look back at Pitt vs Notre Dame series in history.  This is a lot of fun first because of the lopsided W/L record ND holds over us and secondly because even with that we seem to beat them when needed.  In other words Pitt rises to the occasion against them when the main stage lights are on.
