Pitt Power Rankings (Vol. 4)

Filed under: Power Rankings — Dennis @ 4:05 pm

Everyone likes Power Rankings, yet never before have we seen them completely dedicated to our Pittsburgh Panthers. Every week or so we’ll take a look at the biggest news makers related to Pitt sports — all in Power Ranking form.

5. Aaron Gray, center, Chicago Bulls
Gray’s been signed, and Chas wrote about that a few days ago. I was a bit surprised, however, whenever I clicked on the link to the Bulls website and saw this picture:

Definitely kind of odd to see Gray without a Pitt jersey on. Joakim Noah? Still don’t like him.

4. New Pitt football jerseys
Speaking of jerseys, Pitt’s are supposedly scheduled to be released on August 9. There have been two possible concepts floating around the message boards (home and away) but I won’t believe it until I see it.

3. College Football Live, ESPN
There are plenty of things I don’t really like about ESPN, but their new show College Football Live is a winner. You can see it at weekdays at 3:30 on ESPN and again at 6:30 on ESPN2. And if you were wondering, Mark May is a regular on the show.

2. Jim Delany, Big Ten Commissioner
We’ve talked at length about the possible Big Ten expansion that Delany might be proposing as well as Pitt’s place in the big scheme of things. One problem about the Big Ten adding a team is that they’ll need to change one of the best logos in all of sports. Notice the 11 that is formed around the ‘t’…

1. Football training camp
The countdown to camp is at less than a week and it’s pretty easy to see that the football talk is really heating up. September 1 is the start of a new year…time to start getting excited.

Those blue jerseys look like replicas you’d find at JcPenney’s or something.

I do like the whites. And if they jerseys are anything like these, they certainly aren’t flashy but I like that a lot of teams are going back to a simplified, classic look. I’m getting tired of all the odd striping and piping patterns that you’re starting to see from some of these other schools, particularly the crap Nike is trotting out there.

(Anyone seen Oregon State’s new “sports bra” look?)

Oregon / Oregon State…. same diff. the poster children for all bad things Nike

Comment by Neil 07.30.07 @ 5:11 pm

Those new jerseys look just like Navy’s.

College football live? I take your advice and put it on and i spend the next 15 minutes trying to understand what those inbreds from wvu are mumbling. What a mess.

Comment by Stuart 07.30.07 @ 6:45 pm

And they should just put the script on the uniform and be done with it.

Ugh…now they have wvu fans sending in home videos talking about how great slaton is…and they’re playing it. not sure i’ll ever watch this show again.

Comment by Stuart 07.30.07 @ 6:48 pm

Maybe they could go 13 teams and form a 3 and the E in “TEN.”

Comment by Jeff 07.30.07 @ 8:08 pm

Stuart, I’d listen to any sort of discussion about the Big East any day rather than more ND, Texas, and USC.

Comment by Dennis 07.30.07 @ 8:11 pm

If you look at the Big East logo, the I and G look like the number 16. So we’re just as creative as those guys!!!!

Comment by Pete 07.30.07 @ 9:03 pm

I never noticed that about the Big 10 logo. Almost as good as the old Hartford Whalers logo. That one hid the H between the W and the whales tail: link to hartfordwhalers.org

Comment by fred 07.30.07 @ 10:53 pm

The Whalers logo and colors are one of my favorites of all time. It’s ashame they are now defunct.

Comment by Pete 07.31.07 @ 6:48 am

Not a logo but colors..The NY Mets when formed took one color each from the departed Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants.

Comment by scoocher 07.31.07 @ 2:47 pm

Why the F is the PITT lettering so ridiculously small? It’s been over a decade since we’ve had a decent uniform to represent the school. I think I’m immune to it now.

As long as they beat Rutgers or WVU they could wear uniforms with a huge Dinocat on the front and a huge Ghostbusters Dog-Beast on the back and I’d be fine with it.
