Other than the final score, there wasn’t much to like about this one. Pitt now looks at 3 straight very difficult games. Notre Dame, fresh off knocking off previously unbeaten BC (and making Digger Phelps happy), on Saturday night; then a trip to Syracuse on Monday — and you know the ‘Cuse will be looking for payback; then going to Philly to face a good Villanova team, and ‘Nova gives Pitt problems even when they aren’t that good.

I’m sorry I didn’t break down and pay to listen to the Pitt broadcast. The game itself probably would have pissed me off, but if for no other reason, than to hear Yogi Roth say his farewell before leaving for LA.

Dear Panther Faithful,

While I would love to write each and every one of you a personal letter, I felt this was the next best thing.

I want to thank you all for not only the past seven months, but the past five years. The support and encouragement I have received has been dreamlike. As a student-athlete, my experience at the University of Pittsburgh was unmatched. As a professional, the lessons I learned were unforgettable.

The opportunity at the University of Southern California was one that I felt I had to take, but as I leave this great city, I will be sure to take all of the lessons and memories I was so fortunate to be a part of with me.

Tuesday evening will be an emotional one as I work my final broadcast, but it is one I will surely cherish. I hope to stay in touch with all of you as I begin a new and exciting career. You are incredible people who are passionate about University of Pittsburgh Athletics and its student-athletes. Thank you for making me a part of the Pitt Family. It is something that I will cherish and hold on to with great pride.

Hail to Pitt,
Yogi Roth

Good luck, Yogi.
