Everyone likes Power Rankings, yet never before have we seen them completely dedicated to our Pittsburgh Panthers. Every week or so we’ll take a look at the biggest news makers related to Pitt sports — all in Power Ranking form.
5. PittsburghPanthers.com Writers
At the bottom of this article, they write:
Single-game tickets, if available, will not go on sale until August.
If available?
4. Joe Clermond, DE, Pitt football
Clermond was named to the watch list for the 2007 Bronko Nagurski Trophy. He’s going to be the only player on this year’s football team that will even be close to any sort of award, and yet we could finish with a better team record than last year.
3. Terrelle Pryor, Basketball/Football Prospect, Jeannette HS
Pryor said he wasn’t going to come be a Panther with little explanation.
“They’re just not in it,†Pryor said. “That’s my picks.â€
Thanks, Terrelle. You’re really giving us all the info you can. Good luck with that NFL career. If you were planning on playing hoops in the long run then I’m sure you wouldn’t rule out Jamie Dixon’s team as quickly as you did.
2. Pitt and Michigan State
Jeff Long will be bashed in a moment, but being able to work with MSU and their AD, Ron Mason, to get the September 15 game nationally televised is a solid job.
1. Jeff Long, Athletic Director
There’s definitely some backlash towards the football starting times released so far. Most of the comments questioned the times and what the athletic department was doing. Long hasn’t been the most popular guy in Oakland for a while now and he’s yet to do something that really gets him in our good graces.
… I agree there Tim. Nice twist Dennis.
On Pryor & McCoy:
Compare all you want, scoocher, just don’t hold your breathe on the prospect; you’ll not see him a Panther of any type lest for a change of heart (and subsequent transfer) following a vexed freshman year (elsewhere).
At that point I think you’ll be safe to exhale.
It’s a good dream to dream, however, albeit nevertheless unadvisable.

“The recruiters ruined it because they overdid it,” he (Churchville-Chili coach Paul Dick) said. “It was a classic case of overkill, of trying to keep up with the Joneses. Syracuse sends you seven text messages in a day, so Pitt figures it has to send eight, and so on and so on. It just escalated to a point where it became ridiculous.”
I actually think he wo’y play football-just hoops, too tall.
p.s. I like the power ranking theme
