Frankly needs to retire. Awful showboating performance as usual.

As @JimHammett said the one sequence that the ball went out off Redford, he somehow thought he blew an “inadvertent” whistle when it was clearly OB.

Dude is awful,

Is it just me or is there an obvious issue there? It seems we have not gotten alot of good to offensive lineman lately . I know Enos is new and there is a learning curve there or possibly strength ...but the guys were just blowing through and by him in the last game . Maybe its due to the quickness of the other team . The entire offensive line with possibly the exception of Williams seems slow and unable to give the QB any advantage. I am not cutting anyone down I am just asking if there is any help that is available there. I love Reid but he is not the only weapon on the offense running or receiving. Other teams are gearing up for him, I feel like there are other weapons that can be utilized. It seems like Holsteins only choice is I gotta go with Reid. Kenny Johnson, D Reynolds and Rodney Hammond and Carter are good players and I still feel like we should be using Bartholomew more. Its almost like he has to help block to make up for our offensive line inconsistent play.

Welcome to the 2024-25 College basketball season! I am at the Petersen Events Center tonight for the Panthers' opener against Radford.

I'm starting the game thread early, well, because I'm here early because I thought traffic was going to be worse than it ended up being.

Cheers to a new season!

Funny how media narratives drive public opinion. One is an MVP and the other is a washed up loser.

Does anyone else see a little Julius in Ish?

Just wondering

I just saw a Pitt fan in the stands with a “new colors” t-shirt with “Joe Knew” on it.

Great!

Pitt moved up from #37 to #32 in KenPom and from #50 to # 44 in Torvik ratings.

• Miami takes down #5 Stanford.....3 sets to 2
• Missouri takes down #9 Texas.....3 sets to 2

Also....#3 Penn State beat Iowa and #2 Nebraska beat #7 Wisconsin

Nate Yarnell has more composure, sees the field better, makes faster decisions and throws a nicer ball than Holstein.

I get that Holstein is a Rs Freshman and played well early but for whatever reason he is playing scared and is tentative. I hope he figures it out soon because QB play is going to be the difference between 7 - 5 and 9-3 or 10-2.

If anyone can't use their's. Feel free to text 814-241-8525.

I’m still pretty confident in our team. That defensive effort last night was an outlier against a team who was clearly very talented and better prepared. We routinely missed tackles and gave up on plays, which is very uncharacteristic. That doesn’t happen to us often, and I don’t expect it to happen again.

Offensively, they’re having trouble making a counter punch to the adjustments defenses have made against us. But I think we’ll eventually take another step forward. There’s still a lot of talented players on that side of the ball.

Oddly enough, I felt more nervous about that SMU game than I did about playing Clemson in a couple of weeks. They are clearly very good, the night game, atmosphere, stakes, and our team being very young and inexperienced… It was a perfect storm.

I think we’re clearly better than Virginia and Boston College. They don’t have big-play offenses and their defenses give up lots of yards.

Clemson at home is certainly a bigger challenge, but they really don’t blow me away on either side of the ball. Most of their impressive wins have been against terrible teams.

Louisville on the road is probably the toughest game left, and that defense gives up lots of yards, too. Shough is extremely streaky at QB and makes his fair share of mistakes.

I guess what I’m saying is 10-2 or 11-1 are still on the table. We were never gonna be 12-0. If you thought that after 3-9 last season, you’re just not being rational.

I’m looking forward to see how we rebound at home this weekend.

H2P

Been taking our cars here for years, was there last month everything same as usual

Took my dad's car up there earlier today to get it inspected, lobby emptied out, sign on the door says Permanently Closed

Anyone know anything about this? In the old Davis Shopping Center where Seabase is and the DMV office used to be. I know Sheetz is putting in a location there, wonder if the AAMCO franchise owner decided to hang it up or Sheetz bought out his lot along with the rest (Seabase is still going to be there)

Hope they open at a new location, really don't wanna have to find a new place to take our vehicles

That last night was WITHOUT amsal, who I think a lot of us are thinking will be one of our best players. Can’t wait to see him out there.

Pitt -7

And after this last game I now fully believe Vegas so we can write this one in as a W

The Pitt Panthers overwhelmed Radford 96-56 on Monday night at the Petersen Events Center to start off the new season with an emphatic victory. Pitt turned things up a notch near the end of the first half and ran away with it after the break. The Panthers are 1-0, so what stood out from game one?

How it’s supposed to look

If this Pitt team is going to have the type of season some believing they are capable of having, then the driving forces are obviously going to be Ishmael Leggett and Jaland Lowe. The Panthers have several talented players, but what can separate this team is elite guard play.

On Monday, the dynamic Pitt backcourt lived up to the preseason hype.

“Yeah, well, those two guys have the ability to make plays with scoring and with passing and creating for others,” head coach Jeff Capel said of his backcourt’s performance. “It's great to have that two experienced veteran…Jaland’s, I guess you would say he's a veteran, but just good guards.”

Those two good guards combined for 40 points, 17 rebounds, nine assists, and five steals on Monday, and both of them were thriving in the areas you would expect. Lowe played with confidence. He has one of the quickest first steps in college basketball, and when he wanted to go to the rim that is exactly what he did. The star sophomore finished with a career-high 21 points, six assists, three steals, and no turnovers.

Leggett looked even more comfortable in his game than he did last season. The senior went for 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting. He also grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds. Leggett is so good at contorting himself around the basket and making tough layups. In the 40-point win, the 6-foot-3 senior also got up for the play of the night on a putback slam.

“Legs just feeling good,” Leggett said of him highlight dunk. “Yeah, legs just feeling a little better today.”

Those white 1/4 zips worn by JC and the staff are sharp. Gotta get one of those if available via retail.

Franklin just set the record for the quickest handshake at the end of the game.
I'm not sure if he even looked at Day on the way by.

So, Eli hasn't looked like the QB over the past 3 games the way he looked over the first 5 games. The question is...is he hitting the "freshman wall"? If he struggles against Virginia's defense in the first half, do you sit him down in the second half? It doesn't seem like Holstein is trusting what he sees. I think that's a maturity factor that, hopefully, gets in time. However, it's possibly a maturity factor I think Yarnell may have now. So, that being said, what do you think happens if Holstein struggles in the first half against a below average Virginia D?

I say, if Holstein struggles. If he is playing like he is not decisive when dropping back to pass or makes bad decisions with his throws (throwing into double coverage or throwing an interception), then he needs to sit. It's about winning games.

Hey, friends. Been a while since I've shared a health and fitness resource on here, but I thought this one in particular might help a lot of folks on the board.

I put together an ultimate guide to meal prep for busy professionals » https://chrisgatesfitness.com/2024/11/05/how-to-stick-to-your-diet-meal-prep-for-busy-professionals/

I think the conventional wisdom around meal prep is that it has to be this super detailed process where everything is perfectly weighed out, measured, portioned, etc. and that's just not the case. You can put some really simple strategies in place in order to always have the right foods on hand, without it taking up much of your time or effort at all.

I hope that article helps!

83-82 with :22 left !

And I’m not really looking at Murray St beating a D2 team by like 80 points Monday, but that’s a group picked like 3rd or 4th in the MVC, a league which regularly sends 2 teams to the tournament.

They have good guards, can run and score. They could easily be a 12 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Also, Ohio St beats a ranked Texas team in game 1. Good win for them.

The OOC looks significantly improved from last year, which is a very good thing.

It’s a lofty goal with our schedule but 2 losses or less considering this OOC schedule would be very, very good.
