Pitt Panther Rants And Other Sports Rant

My kids are back in school. I talk about their summer. Pat Narduzzi knows his audience, so he will always piss Big Ten media folks, especially in Pittsburgh. This season is an important one for Pitt. Kenny Pickett seems to be settled in with the Steelers. My thought on Manti Te’o turned into a discussion about John Cusack movies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It seems college football expansion has stopped for now. PAC-12 is trying to stay together. The ACC should be fine for now. There was rumor that Jordan Addison isn’t happy at USC due to the promises not delivered. I talk about both sides of this argument. Le’Veon Bell isn’t playing for now and I look back at what happened in 2018. I talk the movie “Last Dragon” and open some hockey cards.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The name on the football stadium will no longer be Heinz Field. I tell folks that life goes on. Pitt Football added more commits and I talk more expansion. I then do some football back breaks and more songs from the summer of 2001. What Zach Wilson did was a genius move and I explain. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Big Ten added UCLA and USC. I wonder if we should even be concerned about this? I look at the other expansion possibilities as well. For Pitt and the ACC, if may just be business as usual. I finish by looking at the summer of 2001.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some more Pat Signals were tweeted. Of course some PSU trolls came out of the woodwork. I talk about the commits and the trolls. Tony Siragusa passed away so I talked 2001 Steelers-Ravens.  I then close it out by opening up more football cards.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pitt Football got more commits and Pitt Hoops added another player. The month of June gets better. SirVocea Dennis had schools entice him to transfer and I felt some of the comments were telling.  I added a few more strip club stories. I then open some packs of 1991 Action Packed Football where I complain about all the money I spent went into worthless cards.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s the month of June for Pat Signals. Pitt Football got plenty of verbal commits the start the month of June! Pitt Hoops landed a big recruit and things seem to be looking up for them. I close out the show with strip club stories.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s been a while. I talk about what I’ve been up to. I’m back playing Madden on PS4. What the standard breakfast and the cost? Jordan Addison officially heads to USC and I give my thoughts on it. Jeff Capel looks to be putting together a roster for Pitt Hoops. Can they coach these new players?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kenny Pickett got drafted by the Steelers, but that wasn’t the only fun that happened for Pitt. Jordan Addison was said to enter the transfer portal. I give my thoughts on Kenny and the Pitt players in the drafts. I talk about what happened with Jordan Addison. Then I talk Pitt Men’s and Women’s Hoops.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

March Madness wrapped up and I give my thoughts on it. Pat Narduzzi gets a well deserved extension. Heather Lyke addressed the Pitt Hoops situation and it’s time for us to move on. It’s also time for us to move on from Jamie Dixon. Also, Gary McGhee didn’t die.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Coach Grubbs and Coach Warzu join the podcast. We talk March Madness, Pitt Hoops, Pitt Heartbreaks, and Steelers. Which Pitt Heartbreak was worse: Villanova or 2009 Cincinnati? Warzu mentions the Steelers may need to draft a WR early on. We're tired of seeing Villanova play in Pittsburgh for the NCAA tournament for obvious reasons. Kentucky is eliminated from the NCAA tournament and the Kentucky message boards had their meltdowns. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jeff Capel will be back at Pitt for next season. With both men’s and women’s programs not doing well, is there something bigger than just the coaching? Sister Jean comes to Pittsburgh which I’m sure will be a big story. I give me thoughts on the NCAA Tournament and Madden Football.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Coach Jeremy Grubbs joins the podcast as my first guest! We talk Pitt Hoops. The 2007-2008 may have been the better team than the 2008-2009? We talk Jamie Dixon at TCU and his legacy. What happened this year with Pitt Hoops? What can they do for next season? We close out by talking cigars and Adam Sandler movies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It’s been a while. I explain what I’ve been up to this past month. Valentine’s Day, Madden Football, Dating, Raising Canes are some topics. I give my thoughts on the Super Bowl and the free bar food. Pitt Football resumes and I talk about the schedule as well. Jamie Dixon benefitted from the Transfer Portal. Can Jeff Capel benefit the same way for Pitt Hoops?See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pitt Football hired a new offensive coordinator and wife receivers coach. I think Pitt would’ve beaten both Alabama and Georgia, but that’s the Homer in me. I talk some Pitt Hoops and Pitt Football also added a transfer. Steelers wrapped up their season and Kansas City Chiefs got eliminated due to their own ego.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pitt lost to Michigan State in the Peach Bowl. I wasn’t mad given Pitt was down to their third string QB. Pitt Hoops got Ithiel Horton back, but still lost another heartbreaker. Antonio Brown got released by Tampa Bay, but he may have a reason to be mad for what happened. Ben Roethlisberger played his last game at Heinz.  I talk about his career and he has ‘two legacies” that Steeler fans will have to deal with.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Pitt takes on Michigan State in the Peach Bowl. I talk about the game and how this could be a win-win for Nick Patti. Tim Salem will be calling the plays, but will be long term? I talk about music in summer 2001 and my Christmas Holiday. John Madden passes away and there’s weird takes on his video game. Pitt Hoops loses another heartbreakerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Holidays all! I talk about Christmas and the Christmas movies. This is a serious time for movie watchers. Pitt Football landed USC transfer Kedon Slovis. I’m not crazy about PAC-12 transfers because they don’t pan out at Pitt, but this one is growing on me. Pitt is also getting their offensive line back.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kenny Pickett has decided to opt out of the Peach Bowl to focus on the NFL Draft. Kenneth Walker III of Michigan State will also be out. I talk about their decisions and the perception of bowl games today. Still no decision on the new offensive coordinator for Pitt. If it’s not Brennan Marion, I have my theory on why that is. I talk Pitt’s recruiting class along with what happened with Deion Sanders and Jackson State. Pitt Volleyball ended their season last night and it was monumental season for them.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Heisman week was an interesting one. Kenny Pickett would finish third in the voting. His slide got national attention to Pitt and himself, but I felt it had an impact on the voting. More awards came to Pitt players like Jordan Addison and Cal Adomitis. Manny Diaz got hired at Penn State but the reviews seem mixed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
