New addition to the site

[JimHammett]

Hey guys,

I just wanted to share that we're going to add a little wrestling content to the site. I'm sure if you follow the sport in the Western Pa. region, you probably know Eric Knopsnyder. He's very tuned into the sport, and is a really knowledgable and very respected writer. He'll be doing some season recaps and a few other things in the coming days and weeks. I've known Eric for a long time, and used to work with him at the Johnstown Tribune-Democrat. He'll be a big addition to the site for wrestling, as I know Chris and I mainly focus on football and basketball these days.

So I think this is a big step for the site, and we're excited to have Eric around.

Hey guys (and gals). I'm looking forward to being a part of Panther-Lair. Wrestling has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I wrestled for Pitt under Coach Stottlemyre in the late 90s and have been involved with covering the sport for many outlets including The Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown and PA Power Wrestling.
The future looks very bright for the Panthers, and I'm excited to be able to help share their stories with the passionate Pitt fans on Panther-Lair!

The season recap/lookahead is very in-depth and should be an interesting read. I'm hoping to catch up with some of the newest Panthers as well.

Shoot, even earlier during the season I think we hit two weeks without a post!

This is great news for everyone aligned with Pitt wrestling, welcome Eric.

Thank you! I had some trouble responding to posts over the weekend, but I appreciate all of the kind words. It sounds like there are quite a few Panther-Lair subscribers out there looking for more wrestling content and, hopefully, more will decide to subscribe when they hear about the increased coverage.
