I'm seeing lots of mustard yellow in tonight's ESPN game - 100% in upper deck...

They'll come up with a bunch of excuses. Here is one they will likely use:

Bon Jovi
Soldiers and Sailors Hall
Campaign event
first come basis
doors opened at 6:30

Hard to believe the stadium is that empty when both teams are 5-2, VoTech is ranked #25 and they're both in the hunt for the Coastal Division??? Kind of gives you a good indication of what the true interest level in ASWP football is.....

Penguins have a home game with the Islanders.
The Fantasticks is playing at the O'Reilly Theater in the Cultural District.
Carol Burnett is at Heinz Hall.
The Civic Light Opera has The Toxic Avenger.
The Pittsburgh Improv Jam is at the Cabaret at Theater Square.
 
They're putting on a show worthy of the fan support - 1st Qtr almost over and ASWP has 12 yards of Total Offense, two turnovers, 3 penalties.... Holy shnikies, they look beyond awful on the offensive side of the ball.

How about ASWP #5 turning his football pants into shorts.....neat-o dude!

Slippery Rock would beat sPitt tonight the way they are playing so far...
 
9-0 Tech. Pitt should be dead and buried by now. The only guy playing for VT is Isaiah Ford, who is a really good player. Everybody else is still on the bus.

Peterman stinks.
 
Looks like PSU and VT are final 2 for 2018 5⭐️ running back Ricky Slade. Wouldn't mind seeing either team lose tonight.
 
Hillgrove is unlistenable. He's so far over the hill, he's circumnavigated the globe and is now climbing back up the hill from the other side.

I know Bill is a legend, but the man can't see the field any more. Can't identify players, can't tell if the play is a catch or not, he's done. He's lousy with the Steelers as well.

Well, I'm not sure I would qualify either of these teams as "beating" the other - they're both doing their absolute best to lose the game.....ASWP's efforts to lose are just too monumental to this point (26 yards of Total Offense 22 minutes into the game, two turnovers - and VoTech dropped an INT - etc.....).
 
Pitt with a big play, 71 yards catch and run from Orndoff (who is a hell of a player). Peterman did his best to gak it up with a fumble, but Pitt recovered and Connor runs it in. 16-14 at the half.

This game is for crap.

He is a legendary drinker and is very social. I agree that age has taken away his abilities but I foresee him staying around for a while.

Saw The Fantasticks a few weeks ago. Pittsburgh's Public Theatre is outstanding. In fact, I had a drink with Bill Hillgrove during intermission at a play there recently. He is a great story teller. He knew that I was a PSU guy but, after introductions, I dropped a few names of close friends/relatives and he was comfortable enough to be himself. We had a nice 15 minute chat while our wives exchanged coupon clipping tips!

Nice story Ziggy. I love the Fantastics and have seen it a couple of times, but not on it's most recent run here. I like Hillgrove. He always came across to me as a decent guy.
 
Unreal that PD can still be complaining about the calls. His defense could have at least 5-6 more called on them.
 
Have ASWP d-backs grabbed the receivers jersey and dragged on it for like 5 yards on every single pass or are the replays lying? How is that not drawing a flag? BTW, what are they booing about on the PI call??? The ASWP d-back hit the receiver before the ball arrived and never looked back for the ball - that was obvious PI contrary to what goofus claimed on the play call for ESPN.

No doubt - they've grabbed and held onto the jersey of receivers virtually every time. The one they're booing about was OBVIOUS PI as the defender got into the receiver before the ball arrived and never even looked back for the ball???
