1.) Note: courtesy of the back-dating feature on the blog, this is actually being posted on the day *after* the game, because old men like me were barely able to stay awake for the end of the game let alone post about it afterward -- so, in a way, these nuggets are from *yesterday's* football game.
2.) Additional note: this picture was already put up on the Facebook, when I was bragging about how amazingly delicious those chicken rollatines from Umberto's were that got delivered -- and consumed -- during the game.
3.) Final note: the sun does not shine out of the ass of the holder as it appears -- that's just the flash of the cell phone camera reflecting in the television at that indelicate spot.
4.) So -- where was I? Oh right -- that game. I lived in western PA for a bit during college. And "Pat Narduzzi" sounds like a good old Pittsburgh name -- like someone who should be doing the weather on WPXI channel 11 -- don't you'uns agree?
5.) Speaking of the weather -- and not that I'm looking for a different outcome -- but I wonder if that would have been a totally different game were it not for the weather and all the penalties.
6.) Did I hear the Mortal Kombat theme song there played by the marching band? Instantly recognizable, sure -- but I'm guessing maybe that counts as "classical" music nowadays?
7.) Hey announcermen -- did I just hear you try to work in a little Drake lyrics in the most awkwardly old white man way talking about the player "starting from the bottom" but "now he's on top"?
8.) Hey announcermen -- when you're going to give props to Ricky Rahne for his play calling, maybe don't show him up in the booth digging in his nose, okay?
9.) I don't care what anyone else says. *My* player of the week is going to *have* to be Sean CLIFFORD, the backup qb to the regular backup qb (who is still out with an injury) and who made a notable first appearance tonight (the backup qb to the regular backup qb, not the regular backup qb).
In closing, thanks to whomever coined the phrase "wet ball Wednesdays" at Pitt, as I immediately pictured it as an equal-rights alternative to the more traditional wet t-shirt contest ... and here's to next week's noon game with Kent State, which we're hoping will be the 16th in our active streak of wins at home!
