- Sitting here tonight thinking about Pitt playing tomorrow and I realized that no matter what occurs, there is nothing positive that can happen for the Pitt program, other then not losing. If Pitt goes out a wins 100-0, people will say so what. That was an FCS team and they should win by that much. If they win 35-24, people are going to say that Pitt barely beat an FCS level program. Either way, it does help Pitt out at all.
- I sure as hell hope that Frank Cignetti, Jr. Cignetti said that " "His route running’s improved. I am very impressed and looking forward to using Gavin this season.” He acts as if Bartholomew is new to the program. As freshman, there was talk of him being one of the better TE's in the country and then Cignetti's offense showed up and the guy had little thrown his way. Let's hope that they use the TE more this year ,as well as the middle of the field.
- I think that UPMC needs to take very serious look into how it operates right now. I think that they have literally gotten to big for their own good and more importantly the good of their health insurance subscribers. Earlier in the week my MIL was having respiratory issues and they progressed to the point where she had difficulty breathing. I called the ambulance and they took her to one of the local UPMC hospitals. I waited in the ER waiting room for about 30 minutes and they brought her out to where I was sitting. Her vital signs had gotten better and she was sitting in a wheel chair and using oxygen. Was told they were going to admit her but we needed to wait for a room to become available. Well, they finally took her back to a room in the ER, 11 hours after she came into the ER. It was not just her, there were at least 30 other people in the ER waiting to be seen. The people behind the admission desk were, rude. She sat in her wheelchair for over 11 hours without being able to eat or drink anything. This is an 80+ year old person who has multiple medical issues and they didn't seem to care at all. Pretty sad for a nationally known health care system to leave patients out there that long.
- All of these Yinzers who think that the steelers are Super Bowl bound need to wake up. I am huge Pitt fan and because of that, I am a Kenny Pickett fan. I am not a steelers fan at all. In fact, I think what tomlin and canada did to Pickett last year, will hold the progress of Kenny Pickett. I mean, for the most part, Pickett is still a rookie. A rookie who ran an offense that did nothing to help his development.
- What is the point of having an NFL preseason? No one really used their starters at all. Playing games against teams with mismatched offensive and defensive players shows nothing. Pickett and the steelers looked incredible in the preseason. They only played something like 17 series all preseason, just don't think that's enough to prepare any team for the regular season. We will all see next week when they play the 49ers. The 49ers are very good defensively and the steelers will struggle offensively. I'd be surprised if they put up 17 points on them. If that does happen, people will be jumping all over Pickett. He will be blamed for the poor performance. The blame for that should be placed at the feet of the coaching staff.
- Tomorrow night, I am pulling for WVU to pull the upset. I don't care for WVU, but I absolutely hate psu. My predictions...Pitt 46 - Wofford 14 and psu 38 -WVU 7. H2P!!!
