Big Monday

Filed under: Uncategorized — Chas @ 6:27 pm

Family duties kept me from the computer most of the weekend, so there was no way I could preview the big match-up (and it is big, despite the stupid slant taken in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the game isn’t quite so big because Notre Dame had some early losses) that starts in about a half-hour between Pitt and Notre Dame on ESPN.

So I never got to post on the big double OT road win for Pitt over Miami on Saturday (but what about the other guys? don’t know, ask them?). I don’t know why this game being close and tight was surprising. Miami has a very good coach, one big star (Darius Rice), and a better than average team. Add in the possibility that Pitt might have been looking past them, and it was Pitt’s first road game in almost 2 months — and it hardly seems that far-fetched. I mean, I saw the potential last week.

Pitt’s 15-0 start also has a Post-Gazette columnist planting a big slurpy one on head coach Jamie Dixon’s rear as he jumps on the bandwagon. I’m not ready to go that far yet. Things can change quickly, and there are still plenty of questions. Still, even I will admit to some surprise that Pitt didn’t lose focus and give a game away early in the season.

Get their free throws over 75% and I’m in all the way.
