PITT’s 2013 Kickoff Luncheon

Filed under: Football,Media — Reed @ 8:51 am

PITT is having it’s annual Kickoff luncheon with the usual coach speak talks by the staff.  It is in the Westin Convention Center at 11:30 on Friday the 23rd.   So if you need a kick start to the afternoon nap you always take, go and listen to Chryst speak.

I’m driving up for Thursday’s practice and staying over for the luncheon. Any other Blatherites attending? At the very least we can drink and argue about an on-campus stadium, Sunseri’s 2012 production and Trey Anderson’s arm.

I’ll be the tall guy with long brown hair and the DW style mustachio. Feel free to buy me many beers.

@ Reed – “So if you need a kick start to the afternoon nap you always take, go and listen to Chryst speak.”

That’s the funniest quote I’ve ever seen on here.

Thx.

I don’t think Paul Chryst will still be the coach 90 years from now. He’d have to be really successful and medical science would have to improve rapidly.

If you grab post luncheon drinks a little further downtown, I can join afterwards. I work right next to the point but I can duck out of the office for an hour for a drink or two.

At last season’s kickoff luncheon, Coach Chryst was smart enough not to talk very long. Instead, they tried something new where they went down the tables with each senior introducing the next senior and saying something about him. I thought this worked out really well last year – Tino, Shanahan, and a few others were entertaining to listen to…

I have a feeling that Cory King and Ryan Schlieper might be interesting this time – along with Tom Savage.

I find it interesting to get an idea of the size of the players when dressed like regular folks. Sometimes they’re impressive; sometimes not so much.

I’m missing the luncheon this time around, but have enjoyed attending several of them.

Go Pitt.

Jeff – think long tern with the PITT program. After all, we are about to get an on campus stadium soon. Plus Dan83 will be 170 years old then.

I kid!

Justine – I’m running up to Shadyside for lunch w/ two old girlfriends after the program, and yes it did happen, so I might be rushed for time. Coffee before the luncheon though ob Friday?

I’m staying at the Westin Conference Center Thursday night and can walk over to where you work Friday morning or even drinks after work on Thursday? I’ve your number and will call.

Wish I was in the area, I’d join you guys just to see the DW mustache. And of course partake in the beer/drink festivities. haha

Just dropped my youngest off today for her freshman year at Pitt. Bittersweet day. But it’s a great school she is attending and I could not be more proud.

Reed – while I will have to miss the luncheon, I will be in Annapolis for the Navy game and would welcome a chance to say hello and buy you a pop.

Comment by Joe Lawrence 08.20.13 @ 10:26 pm

Joe – that Navy game is going to be great and I know that about 40 or so PITT fans from a Facebook group and coming down for it.

I’m gonna smack you upside the head for the Justine, Reed.

What time for coffee? I’d recommend Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts in Market Square.
