Long-time SID E.J. Borghetti taking new position at Pitt

There has been a major shakeup in the University of Pittsburgh athletic department.

E.J. Borghetti is well-recognized as one of the top sports information directors in college athletics, serving as the executive associate athletic director for communications and working in the department for nearly 30 years, but he is taking a new position at the University. His official title will be Special Assistant to the Senior Vice Chancellor for External Relations.

Borghetti and seven others have been named to the Pitt External Relations leadership team, which has a goal to "amplify our public impact and accelerate strategic goals by aligning key externally facing functions." The leadership team will also be tasked with advancing the "Plan for Pitt 2028". It's an initiative that plans to "elevate the University's national visibility and reputation, driving public impact and executing a successful comprehensive campaign."

Borghetti had the following statement in the release:

“Working on behalf of Pitt Athletics was the realization of a childhood dream. Having the opportunity to serve the university’s broader mission is an extension of that dream. I’m incredibly honored to join the External Relations Leadership Team and continue serving the great people of Pitt.”

University President Joan Gabel recently had this to say about the newly formed team:

"By integrating these predominantly outward-facing functions, we will align our engagement and maximize our public impact to connect with audiences and elevate partnerships across campus and with alumni, industry, and the public sector. As we prepare for the launch of our comprehensive campaign — a key initiative of the Plan for Pitt 2028 — this approach will undoubtedly serve the University well."

Three Panthers on the CFB Hall of Fame ballot

Three Pitt Panthers are on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot for the class of 2026.

Aaron Donald, Matt Cavanaugh and Craig "Ironhead" Heyward.

Donald is probably going to be a first-ballot guy. Cavanuagh and Heyward have been on the ballot for a while now, and with 79 players and nine coaches on the ballot at the FBS rank, I think both will continue to wait.

Pitt has 20 CFB Hall of Fame members right now, with Larry Fitzgerald joining the ranks most recently in the class of 2024, and the list includes: Ruben Brown, Len Casanova, Jimbo Covert, Averell Daniell, Tom Davies, Mike Ditka, Joseph Donchess, Tony Dorsett, Bill Fralic, Hugh Green, Marshall Goldberg, Johnny Majors, Dan Marino, Mark May, Herb McCracken, George McLaren, Robert Peck, Joe Schmidt, Joe Skladany, Herb Stein, John Sutherland, Joseph Thompson, Hube Wagner and Pop Warner.

Recruiting Article Pitt is receiving an official visit from an intriguing 2026 WR


Jaydon Dunbar has flipped an official visit from June 5-7 from Georgia to Pitt, he announced today. Dunbar (6-5, 175bs) was previously slated to visit Pitt from June 19-21 but called it off. He's an intriguing prospect, one that offers a contrast from the wideouts the coaching staff has recruited of late.

His other OVs include Duke, Mississippi State and Kansas State.

Young workers

Nothing but CRACK POT!!! young workers out today. Seen a horney bald women try to wrestle a elderly man in the medicine section of target. Boy with jeans so tight maybe made for a frog sighs because I tell him no ketchup and he says it is on the other table and I tell him that is your job young man. Had to use my boogie rag to wipe brow, was so mad and wife said has not aeen me that way since brother in law was in town mouthing off last summer. 30.93 I gave 31 and said keep the change kermit. Will not say the store because know the owner brother and do not want to put him out of business but hires only sad people that NEVER smile and bag slower then grapes turn in to wine. Put my klondikes in with the lysol again and maybe you will be out of business. Boy with long hair and will not say anything because I used other have a ponytail at younger age but now go high and tight pushing carts with shoes UN tied. Crazy drugs not like the ones of our day that could inrich the mind and night make you nuts and now cellphones every where you look and you got some WILD cherries in these places man.

He blasts the Steelers for their handling of KP. Pretty fair criticism here…
