    Pitt

    Pitt beat Carolina last night I know Çarolina is bad but still they swept them, they should have beat Louisville but a bad call really hurt and poor play down the stretch. I live in Pittsburgh now and cannot emphasize how bad this program was before they got Capel Walkons were getting significant minutes 0`16 in ACC etc. Capel is my bet to succeed Coach K and Duke will be in very good hands. It has been amazing how he has breathed life into a corpse.

    A corpse?1?

    Do people sing Sweet Caroline to a corpse?


    Granted, the program wasn't too lively, and a candidate for being thrown on the cart in Monty Python's Holy Grail, but it wasn't dead yet.

    Hot'Lanta... home of the Falcons!
    The Panthers are up to #68 in Kenpom and #73 in the NET. Still a ways to go but they've got a pair of very winnable games in BC and Syracuse this week before coming to Cameron on the 28th. The Panthers are 3-4 in the ACC and will probably need to win at least 8 but probably 9 of their remaining 13 games before the ACC tourney to get into the NCAA conversation. It is a hill to climb, but it is doable, I think.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Did you mean a chorus?

    [redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

    My philosophy for Pitt remains simple.
    I wish Capel and Pitt all success as long as its not against Duke.

    It is only a Corpus to Christi, whose daughter once dated Luke Kennard. (In case anyone lost track of the connection to Duke - relevance is very important!)

    Well Sweet Caroline was started purely as a football thing...to bring life to the dead atmosphere of Pitt FB games in fact. Naturally it gravitated inside to the gym...

    So it wasn't effective at all. They don't have a problem with the atmosphere in Petersen, but I just can't figure out where they stole all of their cheers. Bad imitation is not a form of flattery.

    I'm not sure Capel will be offered the job after K. I really don't think that has been decided yet, and I don't think K knows when he will retire. Ring #6 is a strong candidate.

    I guess you missed the video about Pitt's Sweet Caroline moments at FB games.

    I judge it by Duke football games I attend. It reminds me of Wally Wade during the Franks-Roof era or the recent Cutcliffe era when the weather demotivates our team.

    My guess is that Coach K would love to coach his grandson for his 4 seasons after this redshirt season. So ... I’m guessing he hangs it up after Ring Number 10. 🤗
