37 days until Pitt is officially a member of the ACC (July 1).
72 days until the day training camp opens for Pitt (August 5).
100 days until FSU-Pitt kicks off (September 2).
I may have to go out and buy a preview guide.
Lindy’s comes out this Tuesday (May 28).
Phil Steele on Tuesday, June 18.
i love that we are in the ACC that is the greatest
thing all most as good as cheeseburgers .
Need to bring back the old colors and script for a launch in the ACC. Let’s do it right !
With the old blue, the pants should be the color of the heinz field seats. Then we could have gold/yellow out games. And the empty seats would blend right in with the fans/players.
This seems pretty simple to me.
JJ Moore is getting help from JD in finding a new school. So he’s a goner
Not very easy to find any info at all even on the official NCAA site. What a joke !
Yahoo/rivals ncaa baseball page is a joke as well.
Speaking of conspiracy’s, seems to be one in not covering college baseball !
Don’t see them inviting us to WS with that ranking.
Ped State is ranked #226. lol
That made my day !
Starting quarterback Everett Golson is no longer enrolled at Notre Dame, the university confirmed in an email to ESPN.com on Saturday night.
“Everett is not enrolled at the university. Federal law and our own polices preclude us from discussing specifics,” spokesman Dennis Brown said in an email.
I’ve notice this on other sites besides this one.
The type set used for “Pittsburgh” appears to be smaller than the other schools listed.
Great to be in a conference with a legacy of
academics and athletics. In addition the
ACC has outstanding leadership (Swafford).
BE BB was great however ACC BB will
be as competitive and exciting. Plus
ACC FB will be so much better than the BE.
Now we need several strong recruiting classes
in FB. The purge of players from the former
regimes appears to be over. Better times
ahead!!!!
More worried about FB recruiting.
Definitely second that the cover shows perfectly how ugly our uniform is… the color is depressing and there is no Script….
… maybe someone will finally have the balls to ‘slap’ SP upside the head and snap him out of his stubborn, prideful, inability to admit his marketing mistake and change course…. yeah, and pigs can fly… oh well.
Enjoy the holiday weekend.
How many bids will the Big East get…
UCONN – automatic
Louisville – Lock
ND, SH, Pitt and USF – Bubble
Very few teams have won 40 games in a season and not gotten a bid.
That SOS is terrible at 200 but we did win 20 games against Big East competition. We did sweep Notre Dame in the regular season and lost two tough ones to them in the tourney. We swept Wichita State at Witchita State. That team is a regular in the tourney and won the Missouri Valley auto bid this year. We also beat Seton Hall in our only head to head this year…
Maybe… but I think we are going to miss.
The other two (Ditka & Schmidt) played in the plain gold helmets ala ND.
It should be obvious……..Script !!
We should be so much better than we are !!!
Script plus the old colors. Unique to Pitt.
If you just asked them randomly, they’d probably say, “I don’t know, whatever”.
Also, some fans may say the same thing, “ah, I don’t know, as long as they win”.
I understand that.
But, if you could sit down with those same kids, and a few fans, and talk to them for an hour, show them some history, show the uniqueness, show some of the greatest players in college football history, that played the game with Pitt script on their helmet, I’m sure most of them would then say, “Pitt script of course”.
Yes, you’d still have a few I don’t cares, you would have that in any question you’d ask anyone.
I also know, Pitt didn’t start wearing it until the early 70’s.
However, it is the single most identifiable thing that associates Pitt with Pitt football, and the years where Pitt was on top of the heap for a good period of time.
It then became associated with all sports, and associated with the university itself.
IMHO
That would be at the ACC announcement day. I’m assuming there will be one. Who knows, mayble it’ll just be a blurb on the Pitt website.
My hope meter is at about 5%. You would have thought someone somewhere would have heard and or leaked something, but I’ve seen nothing.
So, it’s just about a moot point.
Coming out on game night against FSU???
And miss all the summer sales and building it up??? The guy selling swamp land in Fla. knows better than that.
Nope, introduction day to the ACC, last shot.
Faint hope?? Very faint, not fooling myself.
It would be Steve admitting a mistake. He will not do that. I know some of these types. Not in their mindset.
Funny thing is, he could even crack a joke about it, laugh it off as he would bring back the Pitt script, and everyone would forgive him, on at least the Pitt script that is.
Had a boss just like him once. NO WAY!!!
Hail to Pitt!!
What is status of Pitt football recruiting?
I know it doesn’t look good, but any camps, etc coming up?
Minor paperwork with a couple layers if they wanted it. Pitt athletic department keeps any sports related funds, university in general keeps notebooks with Pitt script on it or any letterhead from the law school or engineering school etc. etc. (any non athletic related).
Small potatos if the top people at the company (Pitt) wanted this to happen.
Non-issue.
Funny, just personal opinions on all of this, and I’m a big Pitt script guy, and I respect all opinions. Return to script, a throwback, or none. Everyone has their thoughts.
I myself, say either do it, or don’t do it at all.
I have no reasoning for this, just the way I feel about it.
Enjoy Memorial Day to day, and officially Thursday.
Thank you to all that gave all and anyone who may know some of these people. And, thank you to all who served!!!
I’ve seen a few other schools do this, and it really makes the uniform look dated and stands out as “old”.
Whereas, if you brought it back, and made it the uniform, after 2 or 3 games, and at the very most the first season, it would be back to normal like nothing ever happened.
It’s only 15 years ago, not like it’s something from the 1940’s or 50’s.
Like I said, moot anyhow, but a good release for me on here.
