Happy Wednesday,
We had another violent storm this morning here. NFL columnist Bob Glauber called to tell me he's been sitting on the Belt Parkway and has gone one mile in the last hour. What a dagger. Hope it's dry where you are.
Anyway, I wanted to talk a little more about Pat Bostick leaving Pitt. One thing jumped out at me when I was reading about it yesterday. Head coach Dave Wannstedt talked about the probable starter Bill Stull:
“I think he’s one of those guys who seems to perform better when the lights come on as compared to just in practice,” Wannstedt said of Stull, a former star at Seton-La Salle High near Pittsburgh. “If you go out and just watch Billy in practice, he may not be the most impressive guy, but he’s kind of a gamer."
Seriously? That has to be discouraging to hear if you're Bill Stull. Not impressive, but kind of a gamer. Thanks for the vote of confidence, coach.
Wannstedt has recruited his tail off in his first two seasons. Yeah, the record has been 11-12 over that time, but maybe when his guys mature he can get Pitt to some respectable bowls. That is if he doesn't shatter the confidence of his starters with lines like "He may not be the most impressive guy."
You can't love your chances if your coach doesn't fully endorse your starting quarterback.
I can't see it being a good season for the Panthers. Seven wins has to be a success.

The Wannstache strikes again!
I know the blogger at the Patriot News disagrees but I would love to slide MSU out of the rivalry week spot annually and move Pitt in. Nothing like in-state hatred and I dont think the results would be much different.
What did the Wannstache score on his SAT's?
