Some more things with no specifics.

Sean at Troy Nunes is an Absolute Magician (Syracuse) has the latest Octonion to kick off Big East Media Days.

In a feverish dream, I saw you and your mustachioed leader.  I was bewitched by a prophecy.  It was December.  I saw a football field.  And upon it, the Pitt Panthers did battle.  And that field was in Birmingham Alabama.

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Also rules for writing on Big East Media Days.

Still no word on Bowl deals for the Big East, and Coach Wannstedt expects a few more commits in the next couple of weeks.

The Cinci Enquirer actually bothered to send a beat reporter this year.

Some local Cleveland area stories on Dan Schneider’s verbal.

“I’m excited about everything they have to offer at Pitt,” he said. “It’s been a rollercoaster ride – there’s times that it’s been great and times that weren’t so great. It’s also very time consuming. Once you do the research and get to the bottom of everything, it’s not too difficult to make a decision. But the time I put in was incredible, so I’m glad that’s off my plate.”

Schneider also needed to join a program at a school where he felt like he fit academically. He is one of the top students at Avon Lake, and Dlugosz said his grade-point average is just over 4.4.

“I was looking into all the academic scholarships before the football offers came along,” Schneider said. “It’s something I would have looked into had this not come about, but it’s so hard to get academic scholarships these days I don’t know how that would have gone.

“I’ve always wanted to play football in college though, so this is fulfilling a big dream of mine.”

So at the very least, he will help the team’s GPA numbers.
