:10—Coming to ya live and in blue and gold at my primary football get it done spot, but as you well know…if I told you where, I’d have to kill you, but from where I sit, I can go out on a limb and tell you that Penn State got knocked out!!! (“Bye Felecia”…Same move, Friday…minus a few choice words.) So let me get back on that limb—I think it’s safe to say Pitt is back. I know we were favored and I know Penn State is not the ultimate test, but Pitt looks good. Number 2 The focus and attention to detail by this Pitt coaching staff is impressive. Number 3 You clearly get a sense that Penn State is not where they were and not where they want to get. Number 4 Most importantly, Pitt has a lot of weapons…most notably James “Larry Zonka” Conner. Glad he’s back in the saddle and hope the Blues stay behind him. Number 5 to the two idiots, one from Pitt and one from Penn State who sat in a room years ago and decided that Pitt and Penn State should not play each other and further the new two idiots that decided there would only be a short re-boot, I put a lifetime curse and a “A Root” on your ability to ever have fun! So it has been said…So it shall be done!

:05—As we plan for the 3rd Annual Pittsburgh City League All-Sports Hall of Fame Inductions Sunday, Nov. 6, at the Heinz History Center, be reminded of the greatness of a posthumously inducted member, Larry “Bird” Richardson.

:01—Hey Mr. D.J.…Playing that song, “All Night Long,” “This One’s for You.” To my Brother “Larry the D.J.” that blew it up at Mother Carter’s 80th birthday party.
