Looks like Pitt’s shoe company does not want to miss out on a chance to cash in (and let’s face it, part of why they do these contracts is with the anticipation/hope of such things) on the success.
This was sent to me by their PR people.
The “March is a Brotherhood” series includes Pitt. They are doing a series of 5 videos featuring NBA stars — who never went to college — adopting a team.
That’s the Atlanta Hawks’ Josh Smith — and no, he’s not actually rocking Tyrell Biggs’ number, that’s his number.
They have the “brotherhood t-shirt” and released a vegas-gold replica jersey using #45. Gee, wonder why.
Let’s go Pitt! Beat WVU… again!
Why the Aaron Gray love but not the Mark Blount love? He’s the one with the $50M contract! Just because he left after two years doesn’t mean he wasn’t a Pitt dude. Sure, all he did was dribble the ball off his foot for two years, but watching the 6’11” Blount jack up 29 footers while a horrified Dwyane Wade strangles himself with his draw-strings is one of the most enjoyable sights in all the land.
