Audio Test on The Blather

Filed under: Uncategorized — Reed @ 1:21 pm

Guys – could someone listen to the linked Audio File and tell me 1) what it sounds like and 2) if you could listen right on the Blather website or did you have to download it first.

I have a new idea for small posts that you guys might enjoy but I want to get the technical stuff down pat first.

If you did have to download the audio file… does anyone know how to upload and insert an audio file so it shows a box with the blue sound level vertical bars in it?  You know – like most files look like this:

 

 





I think there will be some interesting position battles next year if Brightwell and McKee have put on some muscle this year. Bradley seems to have slipped while Caprara came on. But Caprara is not real fast.

Also who will be the starters on the offensive line? If everyone stays healthy, there will be one very excellent guy on the bench.

Defensive backfield will also be interesting. Does Whitehead move to corner? Does Jay Stocker win a slot? What if Hamlin comes?

Recruiting could make some immediate differences. If Sanders comes, you have Ollison for power and Sanders with break-a-way speed.

I don’t think who recruited who matters, it is going to be who can make plays.

If Price does come back, D-end will be a position of strength for the first time in years, maybe even if he doesn’t.

In anycase all these guys know they better work hard to get better in the weight room and in training, because we are getting deeper at most positions.

Depth is the key. I watch a ton of college football. I think the biggest difference between the top teams and the others is quality depth. They lose a starter and just plug another good player in. Pitt has to get closer to that point at all positions.

One thing I love about the D Pitt now plays is that they play multiple players at almost every position. I love that about Narduzzi. Builds depth.

Soph transfer 4-star Hendrix and JUCO Allen Edwards will be eligible next year at DE to join Blair and possibly Price.

BTW, Price had as many sacks last week as Blair, who was the team leader, had the entire ’14 season.

I see Coleman, Stocker and Hamlin (if he comes) getting a lot of PT at DB, joining Whitehead, Maddox, Amara, Webb and Mitchell

Comment by wbb 11.25.15 @ 11:57 am

LB – Galambos, Bradley, Wirginis, Caprara, McKee, Brightwell, Davis and possibly FR Pine

In other words .. there should be much subbing next year also

Comment by wbb 11.25.15 @ 12:07 pm

Notrocket – you are correct, I thought DiNucci committed in December ’14.

@Pap76 and wbb, yes it is a great site.

Linking it again, for the Blatherites that may have missed it.

link to pittsburghsportsnow.com

Mike Vukovcan, hugely hugely Pro Pitt!!!!

He is the sports producer at KDKA. One of the main men involved in having the kids come on to announce.

Followed him on Twitter…..started noticing that he had as much, if not more inside info as the rest of the usual suspects out there.

He would just put it out there. Then about a month or so ago, he announced he had so much positive feedback, he was going to start a site.

***no, I do not know him, other than Tweeting a few times with him, I’m not promoting his site, other than if you’re a huge Pitt fan, go there, you’ll really enjoy it***

Thanks, Dan.

Happy Thanksgiving fellow Blatherites. Let’s enjoy a great holiday with family/friends and then be ready/psyched to watch our team on Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving to all Blatherites! We may differ greatly in opinions but we have one thing in common. The success of our Alma Mater The University of Pittsburgh

Comment by Dan 72 11.25.15 @ 2:18 pm

Since we’re talking next year already… what with Voytik?

Little question he won’t see the field after this year.

Well, there is ONE way. He needs to give some thought to making the move to Safety.

He’s big enough, strong enough and a good enough Athlete to do it. The only question… “Is he willing to HIT somebody?”

Rick Trocano pulled it off. Interesting to see if there’s any talk about this being a possibility in the Spring.

Comment by PittofDreams 11.25.15 @ 2:19 pm

Old Pitt Grad : thanks.
Once me feet thaw from my bike ride, will head to Augusta for a gizmo.
Anytime you are upta Maine, stop in. Always an open invitation for Pitt grad.
I am in the Belgrades

Pitt recruiting and the PA perfect storm

Pitt beats Miami and clearly wins on the field.

Ped State gets crushed… destroyed… road kill by MSU (very likely)

Miles Sanders flips (and yes there are a few tweets including the one above that make this seem likely… the backwards pat signal tweet by the athletic dept being the main one).

Then it will start…. recruits jump ship from Franklinstein as the ‘happy’ valley cult mobs turns nasty….

oh what a drama that would be fun to watch!! A train wreck in slow motion…

Comment by Pittscript 11.25.15 @ 3:18 pm

Mike Vuk said two State Penn media sites told him they think it is SANDERS!! JACKPOT!!

Comment by pd 11.25.15 @ 3:27 pm

More good news Patrick Jones cancelled his visit to N.C. State. Said he would decide by end of Nov. early Dec. think that just got moved up. Really like this kids tape. This class can be HUGE!

Comment by pd 11.25.15 @ 3:35 pm

@pd… awesome.. You had to figure… I wonder what is going on behind the scenes and why Coach Duzz got the green light from the recruit to announce… but the recruit himself is waiting?

Judging reaction? Waiting until the game? Explaining to Ped state why?…

curious but interesting.
Sanders is the top recruit in PA… that would make 2 yrs in a row Pitt gets top recruit.

along with the cult turning on its franklinstein monster… gotta wonder if that recruiting class is going to lose kids now.

Particularly after MSU shows how far off PSU is from MSU, OSU and Michigan… no path the conference championship game…

Comment by Pittscript 11.25.15 @ 4:03 pm

Not getting overly excited about Sanders, could be totally someone else.

I will say this.

I’m not much on recruiting tape, no reason, I just never think I can really judge someone well enough, they usually all look good???

Have seen tapes of Miles Sanders and saw him in person at a game once.

Unfreakin’ real talent. Enough for even me to say after seeing him on tape, “holy shit, that kid can play football”.

I will say the same thing even if Pedo gets him, unlike their sites when they lose someone to Pitt, and the “we didn’t want him anyhow” stuff comes out.

Comment by Dan 11.25.15 @ 4:20 pm

Gas, your smartTV should have an ESPN app. You might not have to go to Augusta.

Again, just make sure you are subscribed to ESPN somehow and have all the passwords, etc……

Comment by Old Pitt Grad 11.25.15 @ 4:32 pm

keeping the rumor mill turning hearing Hamlin and will announce after the PCC/PT game. FWIW, didn’t want to do this before a big game. But I have zero idea who it is.

Comment by Chethejet 11.25.15 @ 4:48 pm

I saw that also, maybe these guys are trolling for page views. Peak has 238 replies and 14,000+ views…on one thread. Vuk had his highest traffic by more than 25% yesterday. I do think that is going to be a lot of commits real soon.

Comment by pd 11.25.15 @ 5:09 pm

Gas, forgot to thank you for the invite. Don’t know much about Belgrade area. People don’t realize lots of lakes in Maine. I be heading South this time of year.

Okay guys who is the new recruit????? Cornel will be a test tonight? We favored by double.

Comment by Old Pitt Grad 11.25.15 @ 5:32 pm

History in the making!!! 412crew is going to take on a life of its own! Big names are going to drop and don’t underestimate what a Sanders flip does for pitt and ped state.

… when was the last time that a ped state top recruit flipped to pitt??

This has been a long time coming… Sanders and Hamlin supposedly hanging out at pitt a lot…

Comment by Pittscript 11.25.15 @ 5:34 pm

@Pittscript, Dorian Johnson, Holtz…I think.

Comment by pd 11.25.15 @ 5:37 pm

@pd… not sure they were formal Ped commits but dont know and that was in the heat of the Sandusky business but good information. Thank you.
