What has happened to Pittsburgh this season? The Panthers began the year
ranked as a top 25 team. Their quarterback, Tyler Palko was on many people's
Heisman watch list and NFL journeyman Dave Wannstedt had returned to coach his
alma matre. Life in the river city was looking good. Then Notre Dame came to
town with their new coach (at his alma matre) and ran over the Panthers like a
freight train, winning 42-21. All of us on the outside of the Pitt. program
figured O.K., it is Notre Dame, we'll give them a mulligan and start fresh next
week. Well, then next week arrived. With it came a trip to Ohio. No, not to
Columbus, they were headed to Athens, as in Ohio University. |

The more things change, the more they stay the same. It's an old cliché', but boy is it true. Through the 90's the question wasn't will the Florida Gators win, but will they cover. Those were some explosive teams that pumped blue and orange blood into the NFL year after year. Then the man responsible for the glory, left, and the once feared teeth of the swamp drowned in mediocrity. Ron Zook could recruit but my god, losing to Mississippi State? There's a reason he's wallowing in basement of the Big 10 with a going nowhere Illinois program.
