Pitt Panther Rants and other Sports Rant

Pitt ends their losing streak with a win over FSU. Paris Ford is gone and he’s supposedly taking parting shots. He did his job on the field and Pitt. Anything is between him and the coaches. Penn State is off to an 0-3 start, what’s happening with them? I also take a look around the ACC and Top 25 as well.

Paris Ford decided to to opt out of the season and focus on the draft. Some aren’t crazy about it, but can you blame him? Pitt takes on Florida State this Saturday. I talk about that and the rest of college football for this weekend.

Pitt loses their fourth straight, this time to Notre Dame. It doesn’t matter who calls the plays, Pitt never had a chance on Saturday. I talk about what went wrong and about the coaching staff. Pat Chambers was fired at Penn State, could Pitt follow a similar path with Narduzzi? I talk about the happenings around the ACC and Top 25. Wisconsin is in quarantine, but people n...

Pitt loses their third in a row, this time, to Miami. They now come back to Heinz to face Notre Dame. I’d like to see Joey Yellen play again, but he will need protection this Saturday. I give my thoughts on Notre Dame and the rest of the ACC/Top 25. The B1G returns this weekend for football. I close out talking Steelers and the NFL.

Pitt brought us some normalcy back in terms of last Saturday. If it wasn’t on TV and no one saw it in person, did it happen? So Pitt moves on to face Boston College. I talk about the rest of the ACC and Top 25 as well. Nike Sibande may have to wait a year at Pitt, but at least Jay Bilas is fighting for us.

Pitt improved to 3-0 with another great defensive performance. Will the offense finally get consistency? I talk about their upcoming game against N.C. State along with the rest of the ACC and Top 25. Pitt’s ranking is pretty much what you would expect. Pitt AD Heather Lyke wants 20k in the stands and I’m not sure if she will get that. Pitt also landed a 2020 commit and I h...

Pitt wins their first ACC game, beating Syracuse 21-10. This game wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Pitt’s defense dominated. They play Louisville this Saturday and they will need more from their offenses.

To start, I got my days of the week mixed up doing this podcast. UConn is considering cancelling football(they already did after I recorded this). They also joined the Big East. I talk about what went wrong for their football program. I wonder what if Pitt got left out?

A lot of has happened in the last few days. I give my thoughts on the protests. Why the silence from Pat Narduzzi, Sidney Crosby, The Penguins, etc?

I start by talking about Memorial Day and my thoughts on what food to recommend. I talk about school being done this week and what lies ahead. It’s slow news for Pitt, except for some projections. As always, people don’t seem to respect Pitt. Tiger/Peyton vs Mickelson/Tom Brady was great and I think the PGA should do this format.
