Planning to get drunk on the couch watch the draft this weekend? If you have ESPN-U, Coach Wannstedt will be on their college-NFL draft coverage.

Big East newcomers Bobby Petrino of Louisville and Pitt’s Dave Wannstedt are scheduled to appear on ESPNU’s college football-oriented NFL Draft coverage. New Marshall coach Mark Snyder’s old boss, Jim Tressel, will also be dropping by. Marc Bulger’s favorite target, Torry Holt, will become the first active NFL player to provide draft analysis on ESPN’s main set. …

I think the ESPNU show is supposed to talk about the upcoming season for the college teams in light of players lost to the draft (or in Pitt’s case the lack of many impact players lost to the draft).

And in completely unrelated, if you actually live in Pittsburgh, you might want to venture to Homestead this weekend to see what you can bid on from the Chiodo collection.

“It’s like an archeology dig in here, trying to separate the true antiques from everything else,” Tripp Kline says as he and his crew organize and identify thousands of hard hats, boots, rifles, guitars, train lanterns, model planes, boxing gloves, football helmets and bras that dangled from the building’s seldom-seen tin ceilings. And that’s not even starting to categorize the photos, beer signs and other mill-town memorabilia that covered just about every square millimeter of the saloon’s walls. This Sunday at noon, everything — including beer taps and a preserved rattlesnake in a jar — will go on the block in the parking lot next to the building.

“Every time we take something down,” Kline says, “we find two or three more things behind it. Yesterday we discovered an autographed photo of Joe (Chiodo) with Tony Dorsett during his playing days at Pitt, long before anyone knew he’d end up in the football hall of fame. There are so many layers.”

I have to imagine there might be some really old-school Pitt items there.
