Back to naming “cool white guys” ... my vote goes to Bill Zito, a bench warmer who also played football for the Panthers in the mid to late ‘50’s. Rumor has it that he got into a scuffle with Hot Rod Hundley at a Pitt/WVU game and held his own ...
what is redlining and racial covenants? Seriously just asking, never heard those terms before
Not all white people do this, that article is racist. Sounds like it is mostly actors and CEOs who do it. That's not a huge number of people.

uh, ok. well thank you. I thought we were talking about this topic specifically and I was confused.
I may have, possibly, not admitting guilt but stating that there is a small chance, a tiny likelihood that I may have, in the past, made a statement that could be open to debate.
Racial covenants were clauses put into the titles of homes in newly constructed areas that forbid the sale of the properties to blacks. These were very common from the late 1800s until WW2. These were also widely used against Jews, and against Asians out west. Redlining is when banks would draw a red line around certain areas on a map, usually based on changing racial composition, and would refuse loans to people living inside those areas, regardless of their qualifications. This would ensure a lack of investment, and upkeep in those areas, ensuring that they would decline into slums.
Then we went too far the other way and banks were forced to give loans to people who were not at all credit worthy and this led to an economic crash. Typical example of government over reaction leading to “throwing out the baby with the bath water.”
I'm not sure which of our coaches it is that you think was our HC for 10 years, the guy who was here for 4 years or the guy who was here for 13 years. Maybe you can check it out on the internet and get back to us.
I had the misfortune of being around the same age as Yuri. He either lived in or simply always hung out around Bruce Hall. Such a d-nozzle...

Ouch, you are right. One white dude in 13 years. We got John Thompson and Georgetown beat on lack of diversity.I'm not sure which of our coaches it is that you think was our HC for 10 years, the guy who was here for 4 years or the guy who was here for 13 years.

That is total nonsense. No bank or lending institution has ever been forced to give a loan to anyone, ever. This is beyond fake news, made up by people who want to blame the government for everything that goes wrong. If the government was at fault for anything leading up to the crash, it was for relaxing regulations that lead to all of the bad mortgages that were made, and then packaged in the also-unregulated credit default swaps.
Forced? Those were called "predatory" loans for a reason.
Yeah, he was close, cheating could of put them over the top! I would of loved a vacated Final 4 championship, I'd still celebrate it, wear the t shirt and watch the commemorative DVD.
The only Asian athletes in Pittsburgh I can think of is jim paek and jung ho for the buccos. Any Pacific Islanders I’m forgetting. Is New Zealand in this category?
I’m counting Hines ward, his mom was Asian. That counts.
Some guy named Fu. Also, some guy with long hair sticking out from under his helmet. Has Pitt had any Italians? The stereotype has always been that blacks, Latinos, and Italians have swag, and are cooler than Alaska.
Also, Juju is half Samoan.
Ric Flair has more swag than anyone, and he doesn’t fit any of those stereotypes.
