I was at the Pirate game after camp today, so I posted the camp notes a little later today. Look for today's camp report within the hour.

they win about one out of four games that I attend,
I think you are right, I must jinx them

I think we have some very talented athletes who will push the older guys out of the way .. especially at WR and OL. The 2010 and 2011 seasons were reality checks .. just not enough speed. Luckily, despite their lack of stars, some of these guys appear to be really good. Isaac Bennett is a great example .. though Pitt seems to be a magnet for RB talent. Then others like Price, Christian, Banks and Vinopal are quality transfers. If Chryst can coach, then watch the F out. This year is about hitting people again. Next year is about an ACC title and then maybe more. Shell, Voytik, Chryst .. no pressure on them .. right? (=

I predict a 7-5 campaign .. which means changes will be made. If we win then there probably won't be much pressure to play younger more talented athletes. It's sort of a pessimistic and optimistic way to look at it. I'm hoping we win but you can't deny the lack of speed at WR and the desperation on the OL. There is more competition at more positions right now than there has been in a long time at Pitt .. and that's how it works when guys transfer, get suspended, coaches are fired/quit and games are lost. I love watching a team rebuild . .especially with guys like Shell, Voytik, Felder, Tinker, Bisnowaty waiting on deck.

The Dodgers are coming to the Burgh in August. They're leaving you complimentary tickets at the Will Call booth.

There's something exciting about a high turnover on a roster. Plus .. college football rebuilding is a quick process. Not as painful as watching the Detroit Lions rebuild.
