Last week, I took note about the football class for women taught by Jan Wannstedt. It seems she has been doing this sort of thing for quite some time. Dating back to when Coach Wannstedt was the DC with the Dallas Cowboys. This inaugural event for Pitt had over 180 women attend. Alcohol of some form was served. That makes a lot more sense.
The women got a tour of the practice facilities and locker rooms along with meeting some of the Pitt players including QB Tyler Palko.
Marianne Hindman, 64, of West Mifflin walked into the locker room and went straight for quarterback Tyler Palko’s locker.
“His locker is so nice and neat,” said Hindman, who has attended Pitt, Steelers and high school football games since she was 5 years old. “I bet it is always that way, because (the position) is the brains of the team. He needs to have everything organized. I really enjoyed this because I learned some things I didn’t know about the game. Women need to do more things like this. We can’t go to the mall every day.”
Okay. I’m going to let it go. Backing away. Slowly.
Me? I prefer the “if you wanna talk to me at all on a Saturday afternoon, you’re gonna have to learn football” school of teaching women about football.
And if Jen reads this, this is the other Lee in State College, not your husband. Really!
