Clermond In Trouble

Filed under: Football,Players,Police Blotter,Scandal — Dennis @ 10:24 pm

Joe Clermond is one of the shining parts of a defense that lost three NFL Draft picks. He’s the poster boy of the 2007 defense and is on the schedule wallpaper/poster this year. He’s also on the Watch List for the 2007 Bronko Nagurski Trophy given to the top defensive player in college football, as well as on Watch Lists for the Chuck Bednarik and Ted Hendricks awards.

Now, he’s in trouble with the law for marijuana possession. Riding home with a few other people, the car he was in was pulled over with a small amount of marijuana found. He was released but will be in court for a preliminary hearing set for July 30.

“We are aware of the situation that occurred over the weekend involving Joe Clermond,” Pitt spokesman E.J. Borghetti said. “At this juncture we will decline comment and let the judicial process run its course.”

I’m sure we’ll hear more about this over the next few days and weeks.

Edit: For what it’s worth…

Sources tell PSI that Clermond is insisting that he wasn’t smoking the marijuana and was just in the car.

Pitt On Demand

Filed under: Alumni,Basketball,Football,Good,History,Media,TV — Dennis @ 8:09 am

If you have Comcast On Demand, turn it on right now. There you’ll find a replay of Pitt vs. Providence from January 25, 1988. With Pitt holding a 6-5 lead and 15:24 left in the first half, we start the fast break. Jerome Lane gets the ball, winds up, slams it — broken backboard, glass everywhere, crowd goes nuts.

Here’s how: Your Town > Local Sports > Fox Sports Pittsburgh > Pitt Hoops

It’s the original broadcast with a few cutaways where FSN’s Rob King interviews former guard Jason Matthews. Watch it for yourself and you’ll enjoy it. You can also Pitt and UConn play for the 2003 Big East Championship with some commentary from Brandin Knight.

On the football side of the On Demand fun, you can watch the Blue-Gold game that happened back in the spring. I’ve yet to watch more than a few minutes of it but you might be able to gauge how a few more players look after watching it. From the On Demand main menu, go to Your Town > College Life > Pitt > Athletics. Your commentators for the game are FSN’s Marshall Harris as well as Foge Fazio.
