Don’t get me wrong, last night was great and this is a good cause if you have some extra Jack to spread around. One thing I feel is that if we donate the money will be well used. As said before, he’s working it and has been since his hire. The links are nice also. A piece about our own Center Alex Officer and the Rimington list is at the end of this article.

Also, the PITT marketing team has redone the Shirts as mentioned by Yeti in the comments. The Cathedral of Erection was moved one spot to make it make sense. Make your voice heard!
PITT’S ALEX OFFICER NAMED TO RIMINGTON TROPHY WATCH LIST
PITTSBURGH—Pitt sophomore center Alex Officer, who last year helped the Panthers post their highest offensive production in more than two decades, has been named to the preseason watch list for the Rimington Trophy, annually presented to the most outstanding center in college football.
As a redshirt freshman last year, Officer (6-4, 335) moved into a prominent role when original starting center Artie Rowell sustained a season-ending knee injury in September. Officer went on to start 10 games for an offense that averaged 435.4 yards per contest, the Panthers’ highest average since 1992.
On the ground, Pitt churned out 249.5 rushing yards per game, its highest average since 1988. Officer helped pave the way for All-America running back James Conner, who rushed for 1,765 yards and 26 touchdowns.
A native of Rochester, N.Y., Officer was a highly regarded offensive line prospect at Eastridge High School, where he earned first team Class A All-State from the New York State Sportswriters Association (NYSSWA). Blocking for a pair of 1,000-yard rushers, he led Eastridge to a 10-1 mark and the Section V Class A championship his senior year.
Season tickets and mini-plans for the 2015 Pitt football season are now on sale. The Panthers will be led by new head coach Pat Narduzzi, who joined Pitt in December after an accomplished tenure as defensive coordinator at Michigan State.
Fans have a new seating option at Heinz Field this fall with the debut of the South Plaza Champions Club. For more information, call the Panthers Ticket Office at (800) 643-PITT (7488) or log on to PittsburghPanthers.com.

So with that in mind, wouldn’t it be great if Pitt had Mineo’s or Aiello’s Pizza available at Heinz.
Especially for us ‘out-of-towners’.
Hail to Pitt
Hail to Pizza
As you can tell, I am not in sales. Lol
Awesome news about Officer. Would love Pitt to have another lineman get national press
