PITT Spring Football Insider Show

Filed under: Football,Media — Reed @ 5:04 pm

Here is some good news for PITT football hungry fans…  This is what I talked about a week or so ago when asked if the Spring Game was going to be televised.  EJ Borghetti emailed me with these plans but I waited until contracts were formalized to do the broadcasts.

unnamed

Another new innovation from your university’s Media Department.  BTW – The Blather may be expanding into another venue shortly, will keep all informed.

Now someone tell me what “Root Sports” is.  Funny thing – I don’t think Verizon carries Root Sports where I live.  I’ll ask and see if the Shows’ videos will be available via the PITT Live Wire website.  

Stay Tuned…





I don’t know if you were joking or not. It’s a regional sports channel. I believe most markets have there own version of it. I have Comcast the HD channel is 843. They broadcast the majority of Buccos and Pens games. Have national programming too. Nothing great.

Glad to see this. Anything to bring Pitt some exposure. They also carry Pitt’s, Pedo St, Hoopies, and Stillers weekly press conferences.

Not joking but I’ll try to find it here in MD.

1979 Pitt vs PSU now on ESPN Classic

Comment by markp 04.27.15 @ 5:42 pm

@Reed

If you do have a form of it there, it would cover local teams. Like I said I think it exists in most markets( may not be called Root). I would be stunned if it carried anything Pitt. May have similar show covering Terps.

I’m not home but I DVR’d it.

Pat signal up!!!!

Comment by Pap76 04.27.15 @ 6:13 pm

Assuming Hendrix informed Narduzzi before official announcement. Nothing official yet, but signal is up!

Comment by Pap76 04.27.15 @ 6:17 pm

Excuse me while I kiss the sky!

He’ll have to sit out this year, but can play 3 years after that

Comment by wbb 04.27.15 @ 6:36 pm

Lol wbb

Welcome to the Pitt family Mr. Hendrix!

Hail to Pitt!!!!

Comment by Pap76 04.27.15 @ 6:38 pm

GREAT PICK-UP

Comment by pd 04.27.15 @ 6:39 pm

from the Trib – Rising sophomore defensive end Dewayne Hendrix, a former four-star recruit, said Monday night he will enroll at Pitt after leaving Tennessee.

Welcome!

BOOM

Reed you can’t leave us hanging on the blather brother!

Comment by Pitt it Is 04.27.15 @ 6:53 pm

for Mailman, Well I stand up next to a mountain, and I chop it down with the edge of my hand …

or if you prefer the jam with Winwood …

I hear the hummingbird hum so loud, you’d swear you were losing your mind

Comment by wbb 04.27.15 @ 6:54 pm

Love that “Excuse Me” wbb.

Comment by alcofan 04.27.15 @ 7:38 pm

You don’t have it. Have someone who has Root buy a sling box. Done.

Comment by Yeti 04.27.15 @ 7:46 pm

Great news about Hendrix, just in time for PSU. Maybe the mystery tweet is for real. A real deal D-end. Hopefully this gets things rolling.

Comment by gc 04.27.15 @ 8:13 pm

Not to be outdone, Suzie got a transfer from USC. A former 4 star. I think Suzie should just take over men’s basketball.

Comment by Yeti 04.27.15 @ 8:25 pm

@markp, thanks! DVR’d it!

Comment by Dan 04.27.15 @ 8:33 pm

Dear Mr. Self ford,

ACC network please.

Comment by Pitt it Is 04.27.15 @ 9:04 pm

Swofford.

Damn auto correct

Comment by Pitt it Is 04.27.15 @ 9:05 pm

Reed…I’ll find the stream somewhere in MD.

Not only could Suzie teach Dixon a few things about recruiting but she teaches more than one offense against man defense and adapts to the talent she has. Hope we can support her next year.

Comment by Dan 72 04.27.15 @ 9:49 pm

So guys, what was the Monday @ 7:30 pm show like? Anyone watch it?

Comment by Reed 04.27.15 @ 10:18 pm

Suzie has a storied career and can still relate to and recruit top talent. Her coaching record and adaptability seems to be superb or at least it feels that way. Glad for her to bring in a 4star! I think the Pitt womens team can be a break even franchise in the next 2-3 years if she continues to build on the momentum!

@Reed & Blatherites

Just watched on DVR. Between work,The Blather, and my mounting DVR programming, good thing I’m not married…

Real good watch. Anyone here in Western PA with Root, have to watch. Assuming Pitt Live Wire will put it on youtube for those that aren’t in the area.

A lot of the practice footage most of us have seen via the links Reed”s provided us. There are sit down interviews with host Rob King we have not seen. This staff is just so much more comfortable with the media than previous. Overall, Root does a real good job with it and creates a positive vibe with this new staff moving forward. For those familiar with him, Rob King is host and does a good job for this channel. Hosts a lot of Bucco and Pens post game shows.

Root Sports reaches a lot of homes. A lot of fringe Pitt fans will get an inside look at this new staff. So definitely worth the watch and good exposure for the Pitt football program…

Comment by Pap76 04.27.15 @ 11:51 pm

Also during every commercial break they ran a spot for Pitt season tix. It is such an affordable ticket. Hope it results in some sales.

I sit around a group of guys, we’ve got to know each other and our section makes noise. Still far too many yellow seats for most games in our section. Needmore asses in the seats! There are people out there waiting for Pitt to give them a reason to show up. An amazingly almost .500 record over the last 30 yrs ain’t gonna do it…

Comment by Pap76 04.28.15 @ 12:10 am

Welcome aboard Mr. Hendrix! “Is it tomorrow or just the end of time”?
Hail to Pitt!

Comment by Dr. Tom 04.28.15 @ 1:14 am

Anyone have a clue why Clemmings is falling out of the first round in most mock drafts? Was he invited to Chicago?

Comment by tedsptman 04.28.15 @ 5:45 am

Probably because of the stress fracture they just found in his foot … even though he has played with it for a while (he thinks .. not even sure that he had it)

Comment by wbb 04.28.15 @ 6:18 am

Pap76, Rob King has filled in for Hillgrove a couple of times when he had conflicts with the Steelers, and has done quite well. I always thought he would be Hillgrove’s successor, but that’s just a guess .. and not even sure he would want to.

Does he still do studio work for the Pirates at Root? He may prefer that if he had to choose

Comment by wbb 04.28.15 @ 6:22 am

Clemmings was invited and chose to remain with family in NJ.

TJ back up…he will go in first.

Comment by Pitt IT Is 04.28.15 @ 7:56 am

Rob King does a lot at Root. He hosts pre & post game for Pens & Bucs, hosts weekly Inside Pirates baseball & Inside Penguins hockey shows, hosts a bunch of other Pirate shows that they air during rain delays(top 10 lists & shows about Pirate greats), & does play by play for the WPIAL football game of the week with Craig Wolfley.
