Football may feel like it is treading water. Basketball may have ended yet again in bitter disappointment. The Baseball team may have fallen short of making the College World Series field. But Pitt’s Ultimate club just keeps hucking.
A second straight year of winning the D-1 College USA Ultimate Championship for Pitt’s club.
If you want to see Pitt actually winning something this year, you can see the highlights of the Championship games at 7pm on ESPNU or a rebroadcast of the Championship game at 8p on ESPNU.
There was no ultimate really being played while I was at Pitt, but I started getting involved in it a few years later in law school. For a while I was playing with a club team in Cleveland. Never went through so many wrist and ankle wraps before or since.
Baseball was based on cricket, football was based on rugby, and basketball loosely based on a game that the Aztecs (or was it the Mayans) had playd centuries ago.
But the Frisbee (initially the Flying Disc) was invented in California back in the late 30s, and then the great venture capitalists, Wham-O, decided to change its name to Frisbee, and history (specifcally American History) was made.
Jazz, Apple Pie, Facebook and Frisbee!!
Perhaps the coach (if there is one) can show JD & PC how to close out games and win a championship.
Although…. after looking over the roster there appears to be no coach.
So that’s it, our bball & fball teams are being “overcoached”.
And I’m sure our guys flying the frisbees are wearing Pitt script and the old colors………….
Naturally .
HTP !
They do have a coach, although I am not sure if he is paid, or if he is paid by someone other than the athletic department.
Don’t tell me that I don’t give credit when due!
Doesn’t look good. Woman prosecutor perhaps looking to score points.
Assistant Portage County Prosecutor Kimberly Quinn said that neither side was able to reach an agreement on Wednesday regarding his charges.
“Their lawyer had a chance to review the file today,” Quinn said. “For us, this was the first chance we’ve had to talk to (the witness). If we cannot reach an agreement on (Chapman’s) plea at the next date, then we will proceed to a trial.”
I also play ultimate competitively and follow Pitt very closely. I watched their championship game and they were dominant.
The coach of the team is Nick Kaczmarek. If anyone is interested in reading about their team, i thought id throw a couple links about the championship in.
They are only one of five teams to ever repeat as champions.
At least as far as I can tell, and I don’t think it’s too bad at all for Pitt.
They’ve been doing regional covers for these type of magazines for years, I allready knew this, so not much of a disappointment for me per some posters comments before.
It looks like Athlon has 4 national covers. They each have 3 teams on the covers. Several teams are on several of the 4 if that makes any sense.
For example, one has Alabama, Texas A&M and ND. Another has USC, Texas A&M and ND.
Oregon, Ohio St and Oklahoma sprinkled in the same way in the other two.
Guess what I’m trying to say, 4 national covers, each has 3 teams on each cover, out of a pool of about 8 or 9 teams.
Now, they have the 5 BCS conferences. So, yes, regional covers.
However, they do not do a cover for every team in these conferences. Each conference has about 5 or 6 teams.
So, the good news. ACC has 6 covers out of 14 teams, and Pitt is one of those covers.
Pitt, Syracuse, FSU, Clemson, Georgia Tech, and Virginia Tech are on the ACC issues.
The content seems to be about 95% the same in all of the magazines. Each conference magazine, has a conference specific article or two, other than that, all about the same.
Anyhow, thought I’d pass that along.
Obviously have some down time at work. LOL
All in all, probably about 25 different covers, so not national, but out of 120 or so Div 1 schools, we are one of about 25 teams that do have their own cover.
I do have to do some work, so have a good day all!!
Their dynasty will not last with no on-campus facility.
Already rumors of transfers because the coach won’t play a run and gun style that the players like.
The coach can’t recruit. I don’t see any recruits committed as of yet for next year.
Fans only want to buy frisbees with the Pitt script on them and they are not available at Kmart.
this is dumb in what way is he better off there
he might as well stay here.
sit out a year is dumb .
that wont help him go pro he might play in spain
or england but not the NBA.
get your degree from pitt
unless he he is being forced out of pitt it is
dumb move and i dont get it.
I believe JJ has a kid and babymomma out on Long Island. Rutgers would be 2 hrs away.
get his degree at pitt and get a job and take
care of them.
that would only be one year that way this way
he must go 2 years before he can do things for them.
he is not a NBA player he will still end up overseas rutgers or pitt wont change that.
The Athletic Dept. didn’t have anything to do with them. (you see they couldn’t foul things up )
AND SP doesn’t have a private club box to watch the games from !!!
Or babymomma is the new Rutgers AD, lol
Neither is Pitt Crew.
My money went to Crew in the last 12 months.
It will continue to unless and until I see a business plan from Pederson.
“Give money” is not a plan. It’s a plea.
These creatures would have been handing out the kool aid shots in Jonestown.
Actually they deserved a whole lot more than what happened to them. But tell these cult members that.
They want full vindication.
This indicates the whole area of State College and the school that inhabits it, really needs shut down. As most of the inhabitants believe no wrong was committed and no one should pays for the abomination that happened there. Not for 1 week, 1 month, 1 year or 5 years. But for at least 12 years.
What a disgusting indictment of America, sports in general and college sports in particular.
