its a pretty easy read and great for any Pitt fan. I loved showing the book to a couple of WVU grads at work.
Tidbit I had not heard until this book...At the end of the game after the 4th down play that gave Pitt the ball with 1:34 left and essentially the game, Eric Thatcher got a unsportsmanlike penalty for flipping off the WVU crowd while celebrating the 4th down incomplete pass. Wanny was pissed but Thatcher said his fingers were taped together and that's what the refs must have saw. Yeah, right!
If I remember correctly, Eric Thatcher's tag was "the Panty Dropper". If that's the case, he definitely dropped one on the 'eers. This is what makes a rivalry!
Anyway, if you haven't gotten the book, you need to give Peaky a little dough and order it from Amazon. Only $6.99 for the book and $2.99 for the Kindle edition.
