There will be a “party” of sorts on February 7 at the Petersen Events Center to celebrate National Letter of Intent Day and then the Pitt-WVU basketball game at 7:30.

We are excited to announce Pitt Athletics will host Pitt fans at “Panther Pride Night”. This very special event will be held in conjunction with National Letter of Intent Day for football on Wednesday, February 7th, 2007 at the Petersen Events Center. The festivities will begin at 6:00 p.m. Doors will open at 5:00 p.m.

Coach Dave Wannstedt will “kickoff” the evening with the presentation of his 2007 recruiting class, which will include introductions of those football student-athletes who signed binding letters of intent to attend Pitt earlier that day. Coach Wannstedt and his staff will provide exclusive insight into each member of the Class of 2011 and show video highlights from each student-athlete’s high school career.

Following the “signing day” activities, we will host a live men’s basketball “game watch” on the Petersen Events Center’s state-of-the-art video board. The Panthers take on West Virginia in Morgantown at 7:30 p.m. The Pitt Pep Band and cheerleaders will perform.

This comes from the Oakland Zoo Blog and it sounds like some of that came from some sort of official announcement but I have been unable to find one.

A party on a Wednesday night is almost as bad as holding an All-Star game on a Wednesday night (yeah, we’re talking to you NHL). So who’s bringin’ the six pack?
