    USMNT player rankings based on current form

    With Dest's injury and the way that several of our player's club teams line up on a regular basis, it might be time to think about some variation of a three in the back formation with two wingbacks. But thinking about something like that might sprain Burp's brain.

    This new guy they got hitting leadoff the last two nights might be pretty good.

    Does the Big East remain intact if 13-9 doesn't happen?

    If you tell yourself that another 3,749 times I think you'll really start to believe it. So around the middle of next month.

    I'm figuring that they are waiting until the sequel comes out, because that would be some great advertising synergy.

    Those teams did have some great talent. But they didn't win. And if you don't win, you aren't a blue blood. Pitt was a blue blood back in the 20s (the other one, not this one) and 30s. Pitt was not a blue blood in the late 70s and early 80s, because you have to win for more than six or seven...

    And in typical Pitt fashion, our decade at the top really only lasted for six years, from 1976 to 1981. If you want to stretch it to seven and include 1982 I think that's fair. But by 83 the downslide had started (although we didn't really recognize it yet) and by 84 it was clearly over. And...

    Yeah, Colorado was pretty good (they made it to the Sweet 16), but the fact that she barely played there is not a good sign. I will say, however, that "second year freshman" may be technically correct, but is a little misleading. She actually started college in January of 23, almost like a...

    She's been eligible for a while now. What I've heard is that a lot of people seem to object to the fact that she doesn't write any music, she just sings other people's songs, and for some people that's a deal breaker.

    Come on, I think we all know that the guys drawing the lines on the screen are absolutely perfect, with no margin for error.

    Like I said, he was literally an inch off sides.

    The state of our Panther Sports in 2024

    If the season ended today they would actually be in. But they only play one more series and the other bad teams play two, so they all have more chances to win games. Of course they are all bad too, so more games also means likely a lot more losses.

    USMNT player rankings based on current form

    Here's the thing about that play. Apparently the ref signaled when the play happened that it wasn't a foul because the defender got the ball. But on the replay it's clear that he did no such thing. So if you are the VAR and the ref says that it wasn't a penalty because the defender played the...

    Pitt Women

    The more minutes she got the more clear it became that she was in way over her head. Now that doesn't mean that she can't or won't improve. You'd certainly expect her to. But she shot 57.9% on ones, 23.8% on twos and 19.2% on threes. Sure, small sample sizes, but part of that is also because...

    Pitt Women

    She may very well be (I'm not going to pretend I've ever seen her play), but if she is it's almost certainly just a small upgrade. And this team needs a lot more than just small upgrades.

    If you were in charge of a $10 million Pitt football NIL budget, how would you spend it?

    That was my thought, maybe you get mini-Ditka for $5 million and then you have $5 million for something else. Probably beer and brats for mini-Ditka.

    The Buccos

    Because the dirty little secret is that it's almost never a wash. And you have to spend the money before hand to even have a chance for it to be a wash. If the Pirates went out an bought a good starting pitcher and paid them $15-20 million per season, and then picked up a good hitter, say...

    The Buccos

    I'm old enough to remember those days too, so their constant sucking disappoints me as well. We used to go to the games all the time. My personal record for most Pirate games attended in a single season is either 31 or 32 back in 1990. Now, I haven't bought a ticket to a Pirate game in more...

    Oh, they just showed the highlights on USA, and Coventry scored a goal on a Wright assist in extra time, but VAR called it back because Wright was an inch offside. Literally, an inch.

    PSV announced today that Sergino Dest hurt his knee in training yesterday, an injury that they called serious and said would cause him to miss significant time. So he is almost certainly out for the Copa. Haji Wright scored on a stoppage time penalty for Coventry to finish a comeback from a...
