**** THIS ARTICLE JUMPED OVER CHAS’ BB PIECE – PLEASE READ AND COMMENT ON THAT FIRST****
Not that the basketball season is almost over, we hope not but as in Pitt Football our BB team isn’t a shoo-in for anything, let’s turn our eye toward some pre-spring practice info and discussion starters.
The P-G has a piece on DE Ejuan Price and his buying a condo at a Senior Living center in Boca Raton, FL. He’s in his 6th year at Pitt and it seems like he’s an old man already… but he plays like a middle aged tornado… with his 11.5 sacks last season. Here is a good video as he describes his past physical problems.

Put out to a very limited release in 2012, the Galaxy Foams regularly fetch upward of $2,000 on the secondary market. Money that Price, as a college student, obviously didn’t have.
He stayed on the hunt for a few years before he found a friend with an extra pair who was willing to let them go for a more reasonable price. “I wore them for about a week straight,” Price said.
Then he reveals this:
Oddly enough, though, when Price is hanging around the facility, he’s almost always in flip-flops. Not anything from his vast collection of sneakers.
“The funny thing is I have all those shoes and I wear these [sandals] every day,” he said. “Mainly because my mom will tell you, my shoes hurt my feet. She says I’ve got long toes. Even though I like them so much, my shoes hurt my feet.”
Here is Rivals’ Chris Peaks latest football-related podcast. It starts out with BB but if you want to skip that then jump to the FB talk at minute mark 22:50
Some key issues he talks about the open starting positions due to graduation of having left – of course Boyd is mentioed. Peak also thinks that Narduzzi truly has a blank slate mentality once the previous season has ended.
