Raycom affiliate syndication.

If you haven’t read the piece on Jared Wilson-Frame, by Craig Meyer, then skip this post and just read that. JWF’s story is a something and sets out some of why and how he to bounce around a bit before getting to Pitt.

Wilson-Frame had the unfortunate timing to be forced to be a focal point on a bad team. In an ideal world, he would be a major rotation player that stretches the floor with his shooting and takes some of the pressure off the primaries.

Instead, on teams that lacked depth, maturity and talent; Wilson-Frame had to shoulder a much larger role. He embraced the leadership aspects in his two years at Pitt; and has done as much as possible on the court.

Jared Wilson-Frame won’t be listed as one of the greats for Pitt basketball; but he should be considered one of the best representatives we could want to have of the University of Pittsburgh.

The other ending, beyond the final home game and the departure of seniors and grad students. The curtain on Raycom.

A little less then six months to the debut of the ACC Network via ESPN. Still don’t know who is carrying it in most places, but that is typical in these things.

Obviously, as relative newbies in the ACC, most Pitt fans don’t have the same level of disdain that older ACC partisans have to the quality of Jefferson-Pilot/Raycom broadcasts in years gone by. Our sample size was small, but more then enough to be grateful that the time is over.

And while I have no nostalgia or any sense of loss with the end that looms (because, believe me, I suspect many of the people working the Raycom sports scene will end up working at the ACC Network for at least the first few years); there was the personal amusement that came from looking over the weekly syndication lists and seeing something like the ND-Pitt game today being broadcast on a station in Omaha, Nebraska or Waco or Honolulu.





Great ACC win. 3 is way better than zero Happy for the kids Nice to see Trey come alive again.

Nice to end regular season on positive note. Lots of work to do but I’m enjoying the first part of the ride. These young kids are tough and the recruiting is positive.
