PittsburghPanthers.com

A week of website redesigns in Pittsburgh; first the Post-Gazette decided that they wanted to be NOW, and today the PittsburghPanthers.com redesign was revealed.

Most noticeably, the redesigned PittsburghPanthers.com features a larger lead photo for fans to appreciate the great photography and great moments in Pitt Athletics. The site also features a media player to provide users with free samples of Panthers All-Access as well as listings of upcoming events on Panthers All-Access.

Aspects of the website that remain but have been slightly refined is the Store/Tickets/Auctions tabs, Fan Poll and easy access to purchase tickets, merchandise and links to the Panther Club.

The navigation has changed from the left-hand side navigation to a horizontal navigation system with drop-down menus. The new masthead continues to feature Pitt student-athletes and select team shots; it also features Pitt facilities and monuments such as the Cathedral of Learning and Petersen Events Center. Also with this feature, users can click on picture in the masthead and be linked back to the main page.

Also available near the top of the page is the Gametracker scoreboard that provides direct links to audio, video and gametracker for upcoming Pitt athletic events. Farther down the page is an Events, Results and Photos section, this section provides up to date information along with photo galleries to coinciding events when applicable.

It doesn’t look all that bad to me although I’ve found a few problems (although it might be just my computer).

Just got back from Fan Fest — words and pictures to follow tomorrow.

EDIT: If anyone took pictures at Fan Fest and wouldn’t mind them being used in a post (with credit given to you of course), please e-mail them to dennis.pittblather@gmail.com.





Here are some of my thoughts from fanfest:

For everyone who argues that Bostick and other freshman should start, go to fanfest and you will see why they SHOULD NOT. They are physically just not nearly as developed as the upperclassmen.

Buddy Morris has one hott ass wife or girlfriend, holy shit shes like 55 and looks amazing.

Shady is one cool ass person to talk to, a really nice kid.

Our linebackers are small. Please address this in recruiting.

Just in case anyone’s paying attention, Carl Krauser is on the Virgin Islands team playing the U.S. right now on ESPN Classic.

shit i dont get that. You mean hes playing against lebron and them?

If anyone else has ESPN Classic, the game will be replayed on ESPNC at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

Was that Darrell Strong that made that sweet 1-handed grab in the endzone on the last play?

I saw the Krauser game – why they didn’t play him more is beyond me. Not that he would have made the game close, but he had 9 points in less than 20 minutes. He didn’t play half the first or third quarter, or at all in the fourth. The highest total on their team was 11.

Plus, they outscored the all-stars in the only period Krauser played the entirety of. The international refs were sending him to the line on his wild off-balance driving shots…

And I didn’t know the Bronx was in the Virgin Islands. I guess you learn something new everyday.

“And I didn’t know the Bronx was in the Virgin Islands. I guess you learn something new everyday. ”

Haha, thats some funny stuff right there.

They showed a nice Krauser highlight reel before the game, nice bit of pub for PITT (well, at least for the 8 people watching…)

Yeah, I had no idea it was on. I happened to be awake so I’m glad a few others caught it.

Krauser probably won’t make it to the NBA, so I’m sure it was amazing for him to be able to do that.
