So here I am back in Morgantown, after spending an enjoyable Saturday evening with Pat and Shawn in the ‘Burgh. Since moving here two months ago, I’ve gotten used to the dearth of Pitt info in my new hometown paper, the Morgantown Dominion Post. (I know I could just log on, but as an ex-newspaperman, I like to hold the damn thing as I read it.) So it was a shock to open the DP sports section and see this headline in bold across the top: “Pitt Panthers Roaring: Harris seems to have everything on his No. 10 team.” (Sorry, I just don’t care enough to learn how to link this story. Beside’s it was just a wire story — both readers of this site have probably already read it.)

[Chas, here. Learn damn it. It really doesn’t take much effort.]

Two thoughts come to mind. One, running this story above the fold in this town is the most courageous act of journalism since Jayson Blair decided that you don’t really need to interview people in order to quote them. I mean, folks here hate Pitt. The way we hate Penn State. I told my class the other day that I graduated from Pitt and spontaneous boos broke out. This was the first day of class. And I’m the freakin prof.

Two, I don’t know about the headline: “Harris seems to have everything.” Everything? What about a modicum of play-calling ability?
