Pitt Panther Rants And Other Sports Rant

Well it was all too good to be true. After a big win at a SEC opponent, Pitt loses at home to a MAC Opponent. I relive the horror and sympathize with the fans on their frustrations. I then recap the rest of the games of this past weekend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

There’s supposedly “mutual interest” between James Franklin and USC. I think it’s his agent talking. I discuss how Penn State can afford to pay him or lose him. Pitt takes on Western Michigan and I’m feeling good about the running game. I give my thoughts on the rest of the games for the weekend.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The NFL kicked off last night and it was a good first game. TJ Watt and the Steelers finally agreed to an extension. The Big 12 has officially expanded. Could UConn have been invited if they stayed in the AAC? Pitt takes on Tennessee and I’m not really optimistic given history. I do give some reasons to be optimistic. I also talk about the other college games happening in the ACC and around the country.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We had our first real weekend of college football and it was immaculate!

Pitt Football added another commitment this month, and Kenny Pickett launched his own brand.  I talk about the NIL that’s allowing college athletes to make money of their name/image/likeness. The Milwaukee Bucks won the NBA title and this could be good for the league in the long run. Oklahoma and Texas are supposedly talking the SEC about joining the league. Not sure why it’s a good thing, but I give my thoughts on it.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
