Norvell buyout is $63 million


Maybe FSU should take their usual lawsuit approach: "Yes, we signed a contract but now it turns out we dont like the contract and we feel the contract is illegal so we will find a Tallahassee fanboy judge and get it voided."

Is It????

My imagination or is reality that today’s kickers in BOTH college and Pro’s are kicking better than ever??? Both in distance and accuracy.

I watched games all weekend where college kids were kicking 55 yarders and making them with ease. Not to mention with plenty of room to spare. I can’t remember the game where a kid kicked a 58 yarder and it would of been good if it was 68.

In the pro’s. 50 plus yarders are almost automatic. Why are these kickers all of a sudden having much stronger legs and are are extremely accurate??

My guess there is a program or camps these kids are going to that have made a huge difference compared to the past kickers

The Morning Pitt: 9/30/2024 - Another big weekend leads to another big week

The Pitt football team is back after an off week and staring down a huge ACC opener in Chapel Hill. Before we get to that game, though, there's a lot to recap from another big weekend in Pitt sports, and that's what we're doing on the Monday edition of the Morning Pitt.

A coach to watch going forward

Former Panther wide receiver Mike Shanahan is the Offensive Coordinator for Indiana. He has the Hoosiers 5-0. Runs an offense similar to the one Pitt is running. Indiana is pretty darn good on offense although I am not crazy about their defense.

If Pitt should lose our head coach or OC down the road I would take a long look at Mike S.

Pitt at GT.....Some Thoughts

A few pre game thoughts....
  • Expect GT to come with a lot of energy and intensity following Friday's sweep at the hands of SMU. Not finishing their week at 0 - 2 will be a big motivator.
  • GT has played 36 sets.....losing 10 of them....resulting in a 8 -2 record
  • In sets lost....GT is losing by 4.4 pts/set.
  • Pitt on average outscores GT by about 2 pts/set and gives back approximately 2 pts/set less than GT......which matches almost exactly the GT 4.4 pts/set loss margin.
  • Pitt's margin of victory in their 33 set winning streak is an astounding 9 pts/set....25 - 16. On the other hand....GT has never lost a set by more than 6 pts.
  • Pitt has been running their opponents out of the gym. GT has never been boat raced in the sets they have lost. Something has to give!
A few keys to victory....
  • Holding down GT's attack leaders....Bertolino, Otene, and Mendes. For example....SMU held Bertolino and Otene to 19 kills total and they had 11 attack errors. That's how to beat GT.
  • Which VVG will show up? She's had a couple of underwhelming matches of late. If she plays to the potential we know she has then watch out.
  • Will Klika and Fairbanks bring their usual outstanding performances? I think so.
  • Would be great for our MB's to shine....and give us just a bit more than our average 2.6 blk/set.
  • Pitt gives back a little more than 6 pts/set from errors (attack, serve, receive, and blocking). That's impressive. We must maintain that for this match.
This is going to be a tough match because it's on GT's home court.
