Merry Christmas from our families to yours!

At 4pm today, nine days following the resignation firing pushing aside of Dave Wannstedt, and thus ending The Fighting Wannstaches, a new era of Pitt football begins…The Mike Haywood Era. Haywood, a Golden Domer during the unfortunate Gerry Faust years and a year of Lou Holtz (84-86 WR/DB), has served as an assistant at several [...]

It appears that Pitt’s coach opening has made its way onto Craigslist.  Real or not, it makes for a good time… http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/npo/2112581217.html (h/t to @PittTailgateVan)

Well it was a fun ride while it lasted…but all good things must come to an end. With that being said, we are going to be closing down The Fighting Wannstaches store on the evening of December 22nd.  Since it’s the Holiday Season, what says “I Love You” to your significant other or family members [...]

Maybe it’s just a coincidence, maybe it’s not.  But the firing/resignation of the Wannstache may be a sign by the Athletic Department that a new logo may be on the way.  Bear with us for a moment… As we all know, for nearly two and a half decades (1973-1996), we had the beloved Script Pitt [...]

So it happened…Dave Wannstedt was forced to submit his resignation and is no longer the head coach at Pitt.

But that no longer matters because the one [...]

Well its official…The Wannstache has been fired as head coach at Pitt.  Rumors are out there that he will stay on in a non-coaching capacity in the athletic department. http://postgazette.com/pg/10341/1108955-142.stm More to come later…

During the game, the Cincinnati Bearcat mascot was throwing snowballs.  The police asked him to stop.  He did not.  This is what happens when you do not listen to the police…

Opponent: Cincinnati Bearcats (4-7, 2-4 BIG EAST). Kickoff: Saturday, December 4th, 12:00pm. Mascot: While the mascot doesn’t appear to have a name, he has an interesting history…and by interesting we mean lame.  In 1914, Cincinnati did not have a mascot, but they did have a star player named Baehr and were playing the Kentucky Wildcats.

Thanks to our friends over at 93.7 The Fan, we have been asked to join a panel of Pitt bloggers for a weekly Blogger Debate. Each Wednesday, we will discuss Pitt football and other hot topics in college football with Chas Rich of Pitt Blather, Bryan from Pitt Script, and Chris Gates from the Area [...]
