Pitt message board All-Time team?

John turman's older sister is definitely on the cheerleading team.. if eligible of course, as a former Raiderette, her amateur status may be an issue. Howland's daughter too, the red head. although I think I was the only one that brought her up on this board, a few times actually.

I was wondering if it would be Jami turman then or now and I found that she married Bill Osborn.
 
One on the McKee Place team would be Tim Stein. A peeve of mine in the Harris era was that every week, he'd put this scrawny walkon #47 back there to fair catch punts. Teams like ND, OSU (aka teams that gave a crap) had a legit player back there like Ted Ginn etc. "Put a wide receiver back there who can break one" I'd wail on every punt. Next season comes, first punt return. My buddies shake me and point. "You happy now?" I look. It's still Tim Stein, but now, he was #87.

Tim was a good dude. He was in many of my classes so I asked him if he knew his nickname? He responded with "fair catch tim stein" which got a chuckle from us because that's what we called him.
 
im ok with the sure handed PR on punts when all you need is a clean catch. I'd like to see our staff put in someone like Ford when the punts are more "returnable" like when the team is punting from their own 10.. Lopes was good though, sure handed and had some wiggle so no issues with him..

Steelers would put in AB in his younger days on some of these returnable punt situations but have someone else when it was going to be a fair catch situation..

I appreciate a sure handed guy and i also know the Antonio Bryant lesson. Unlike blue blood's we didn't have 4 star receivers stockpiled in case of injury in a return. But, so I thought, there had to be a happy medium.
 
Gotta find room for "Sticky" Ricky Gary in the secondary. I think Walt Harris should be QB coach with Bill Cherpak, Bob Palko and Tom Bradley on staff somewhere.
This is a bingo.....

Gary may be more famous for his Tweets regularly read on the Fan when Gianotti ran the morning....

Lmao he went silent I believe when he got a part time job in a school.....Geo said he hope he’s teaching geometry and not English, because he knew all the angles. Lol
