I’ll be watching, but probably pausing a lot throughout to deal with kids. So, no liveblog for this game. Just feel free to comment on what you are seeing.

Come on. Pitt has to play well at home some time. Don’t they?

Let’s see if what you people see on the TV matches what the rest of us see at Heinz Field.

Okay, time-delayed. For those stuck with ESPN360.com, the extra misery is it is my understanding that with broadband only there is a good chance that it is without any announcers. Let me know if that’s the case.

In any case, the floor is open.

With my wireless card screwed, I am line-bound on the computer for the moment. So, I can’t watch the game and post at the same time. Sorry, I have the game on my TV, and I’ll pass on watching on the computer.

Reader DanS. has some pictures he’s passed on. First, the horde has apparently invaded and taken over a local elementary school as they raise their flag to show control and dominance.

This is where the flag was raised in relation to the stadium.

It does seem that the Pitt contingent has arrived.

Thanks again to DanS. for the photos.

Any ways, fire away in the comments. I’ll try to check in at the half with some thoughts.

HALFTIME UPDATE: A great opening half. Pitt leads 35-14.

As frustrating as that 14 point swing on Stull’s interception was, credit to OC Matt Cavanaugh. He came out calling 4 straight passing plays. As much as anything to get Stull’s confidence back up. The first two throws were not there, but the next two were right on the money and all was right.

Pitt’s defense unnerved me in the opening series, but my did they figure things out. Forcing 4 punts in the first half. Navy had 0 punts last year in the first half, and only 1 for the entire game.

You can see that Navy’s d-line can’t really handle Pitt. They are bringing up the linebackers. It is really opening things up.

Just want to see Pitt keep up the pressure on both sides of the ball in the second half.

The ante got upped. Not just my daughter, but my 17-month old son and even the wife are in for this trip.

At least the weather is supposed to be nice.

This is not, despite what the Pitt players got from the coaches, a statement game. Wannstedt has lost too much good will for just this game to make it up. It would, however, be a nice start.

Odds are you won’t be reading anything new from me until very late if not Sunday.

Once more, I’m at the game so I just left everyone a place to comment. Hopefully there will be some other people at the game. I don’t know what to say. I really don’t know what to expect.

The good news, one way or another, I’m drinking afterwards.

I’m home, but with the kids. That means I can’t be liveblogging. Dennis is at the Pete.

Pitt is just not allowed to lose this game. The wife’s oldest brother is a huge honkin’ Ohio State fan, which is annoying enough. To have her other brother with direct bragging rights just cannot happen.

Halftime: Pitt killing right now. 47-24.
Or as Gus Johnson put it: Pitt’s not messing around.

Oral Roberts, despite having similar inside size, means nothing on offense. The Golden Eagles are continually just hung out shooting long jumpers.

Pitt is shredding this vaunted ORU defense, like they are nothing.

They are taking uncontested jumpers and just blowing past every ORU player.

McGhee has already seen some action late in the first half — and scored.

I expect to see Wanamaker in the second half.

So far, this is just the perfect game to keep only one eye upon.

Parent-Teacher conference this evening. This appointment was set a month ago. I had to guess when Pitt would play. I guessed poorly. Setting the DVR for this.

Unless Keith or Dennis can get back in time for the liveblog, this is the place to rant comment.

Family obligations, that I vainly tried to get out of are completely taking me away from the house today.

The meme out of Louisville is that last season, beating Pitt at the Pete was the start of turning around their season. Now it’s about maintaining their run.

Friday night. Thought I had things all set to be able to watch right away. Not happening. Back later.
