Pittlaw is someone I miss. He made some mad because he could come across as condescending but I genuinely liked him
He always called me Wilbur when we used to butt heads.
No. I have been reading your stuff for a very long time. I respect your thoughts.
What happened to PittLaw? I agree with your assessment and I always looked forward to reading his posts.
Yeah you are one of my faves. I don’t remember you and I ever having any issues.
Can’t remember the handle but he was a walking Pitt fullback whose passion was Pitt station and hated Stevie p (Plenty of company there). Don’t think he posted much on the hoops board.
Met him at a tail gate before the tire bowl against Nc. Really good dude

Ghost of Pitt 40. A true believer.
There are a lot of dead college sports message boards around the internet. SMF may say stupid things but he and DT are unquestionably the reasons why this place still gets decent traffic
that sounds familiar, I remember Grahams kid used to post on the scout board, and hinted at the news his dad was leaving the day before. I think Penni also used to comment on the PG site whenever there were negative comments on Graham.
Yes, he was a true believer.
He truly believed that when they tore Pitt Stadium down the VA Hospital and the whole upper hill was going to slide down onto the lower section of Oakland. And he had the evidence to prove it.
I cannot remember when I first came on this board. I believe. It was some time in the nineties. When did the previous board begin? I was on that board within a year or so of its beginning. Also on the Proboards site which one had to be invited to get on. That board was discontinued. DT was invited on that board so he probably has better memory of that since he is younger.
I was crushed to hear that about Windell. I spoke with him a couple of times.
Where were your seats at in old Pitt Stadium WBR? I was in section 3. I think row 50 (not sure exactly, but only a couple of rows from the top)
As for Drew from WV. He's doing well. I saw him in Greensboro on Sunday.
I was proud to call him a friend- we shared many beers. It’s been a while since I’ve heard about him.
The first board was Frank Sokol’s Unauthorized Pitt Sports Message Board. It was great. There’s about a dozen or so regulars left from those days. Then their was the pro boards thing in the middle before we all went to Rivals.
I wish @NTOP could share more but his memory is worse than his peach basket jump shot.
She was a real pleasure to have on these boards for sure.
And Crazy Paco’s page at the same time as Frank’s Page. I think Paco’s page was more just Pitt news and updates. That was like 25 years ago.
There was also Scout which competes with Rivals for a few years in the early 2000’s.
I was on the Sokol board in ‘97. I asked this before but does anyone know whatever happened to Frank Sokol?
I stay in touch with Midnite Blue as we were very close friends for some time. Generally speaking, he decided to retire from Pitt sports because of the sometimes toxic influence it had on his life.
He still reads here from time to time, but he really has stepped away from Pitt sports. A more ethical man you will never meet. And he is connected to almost all of my best Pitt Hoops memories.
Can’t remember the section number. Around the 25 yard line in front of the press box. Scoreboard end. Does Drew Freund still post under another name?
Count me among the ones who was on the Frank Sokol board. Dial up network.
What was the name of the Scout board? I remember HailtoPitt and BGI but I think they were just early iterations of the rivals board?
Diehard Panther - I may have added a number to the end. Not 100% sure because I believe there was more than one Diehard Panther moniker.
The recruiting updates back then from Harry were nice because it was tough to get good recruiting information on Pitt at that time. He made Aamir Dew seem like the next great RB. 🙂

I was also on Frank’s board. Cleveland Panther was my handle then. Around 1995.
Not really. Maybe a fake name occasionally to call me Mrs. Narduzzi or something. 😂
