A few short hitters for the day.
Who is responsible for this? Who? I’m prepared to accuse a Hoopie or Nitter of doing it as negative recruiting.
Has Pitt taken some grief for the non-spring game? A little.
Pitt is doing a small fan fest at the UPMC Sports Complex on April 13. No trying to sneak over to the Steelers part of the facility, people. I’m sure security will be tight at the border.
Included will be:
• A youth clinic for boys and girls (eighth grade and under) conducted by players and staff that will stress football fundamentals at seven positions
• Offensive and defensive strategy sessions led by coordinators Joe Rudolph and Matt House, including film breakdown
• A talk by recruiting coordinator Dann Kabala detailing processes involved in prospect evaluation and signing players to letters of intent
• A session led by strength and conditioning coach Ross Kolodziej on players’ year-round physical development
The film breakdown actually seems kind of interesting. It also seems like a heckler’s dream. If someone could ask Kolodziej what work he is doing towards any certification and education, I would appreciate it.
Maryland really is grasping at anything it can to avoid paying/force negotiations on the exit fee from the ACC. Subpeonas for everyone. And you get a subpeona. And you get a subpeona.
– the Spring Game was never cancelled as it was never scheduled, and ahouldn’t have been reported as such. I’ve always felt the spring game,(a) with its modified rules, (b) QBs with red shirts, (c) coaches on the field behind the offense, (d) loads of substitutes and players switching sides, etc. was MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. More importantly, it gave little insight as to what was coming in the fall.
– apparently, the UnderArmour guy doesn’t support Maryland as Phil Knight supports Oregon or T Boone Pickens supports Ok St.
– I actually like the Paul Reiser Show (maybe because of Helen Hunt)
So I made a point of it to ask every Maryland fan that I talked to that evening their opinion on the move to the B1G Conference, NOT ONE fan thought it was a good idea or supported the administration for making that deal happen, NOT ONE! Quite a few were actually pretty pi$$ed off about it, in fact. So yeah, it’s going to hurt Maryland in their pocketbook by directly affecting Alumni contributions going forward.
As far as Pitt’s Spring game goes, no great loss, not many fans show up for the event in the first place and I’ve never been a big fan of playing with yourself anyhow.
A Special Player and Person who is EXTREMELY MATURE for still being just 18 YEARS OLD!
(The NFL) is on my mind every day,” he (Connor) said. “Honestly, I’m a Pitt Panther right now and I want to get a 10-win season, and go to a great bowl game. Hopefully, we can do both.
I like the way this guy thinks.
Hope ACC working on ACC Channel so we can watch other sports like baseball. Also in future years put a little more pressure on ND in FB to join more.
Thanks for the link. Soto has a lot of upside. Looks like he can easily add more weight on his frame.
He probably just bought a bunch of Zumba DVD’s.
I could have strangled Wanny for not letting Greg Cross come in and run the wildcat with LeSean & LaRod in that game. Instead he kept letting Stull throw deep….talk about a bad game day coach.
Cautiously optimistic with the football program. I definitely like John Settle coaching RB’s instead of Joe Rudolph doubling as OC and RB coach.
Hat’s off to Neil Walker and the Bucco’s!
Hail to Pitt!!!!
Like John Settle. But, primarily, I look for the biggest impact to come by way of Troy Douglas and the discipline he will undoubtedly bring to a Secondary desperately in need of it.
How is this guy still working? I don’t get it, I just don’t freakin get it!
All the best to Antigua.
If Antigua has success at USF and determined to be a qualifed candidate, he may jump at the chance to come to the Northeast where he can recruit NYC.
My guess would be that if JD leaves in 5 or more years though, B Knight will be promoted if he is still here.
Marquette is reportedly hiring the Duke assistant whose name is harder to spell than his recent boss.
Good question about the S&C coach. He has been mentioned in many post practice interviews. You would think a reporter would actually do a story or ask those very questions.
