Chryst nearly completes staff with Engram hire
In what has been a bit of an open secret for some time, Bobby Engram was finally announced as Pitt's new receivers coach. He's probably best known for his stint with the Seattle Seahawks and his time at Penn State. While he's a bit light on coaching experience - his only other gig was this season as an assistant for the 49ers - but he does a wealth of experience on the playing field...

SMU was not the only future member of...

OMG, Going to AZ, TTYL
Todd Graham is a man of few words. “High Octane” was his mantra, but “Low Grade” will be his legacy.
He is headed west to take his explosive playbook, full proof decision making, and sterling 6-6 record to Arizona State.
Graham apparently told his players the news via text message through someone in the athletic department; no classier way to say thanks...

He won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Pens in ’91 and ’92 at the back end of his career; he spent some time in the press bos calling Pens games; he coached some of Western Pennsylvania’s biggest hockey names at Washington & Jefferson (what do you mean you’ve never heard of Chad Talotta or Mario Panucci...

Panther on ‘Liar’ Graham: ‘I feel like dirt, abused’
In departing for Arizona State today, ex-Pittsburgh football coach Todd Graham chose to inform Panther players of the news via forwarded text message from a Pitt football staffer.
As you might expect, such a lack of respect from a now-former coach did not sit well with at least one Pitt football player: Panther receiver Devin Street.

You cannot advance a muffed punt, which is a shame because technically this play never happened. Louisville returner Eli Rodgers was popped while fielding the punt in the 4th, and Pittsburgh’s Drew Carswell recovered as if he knew exactly how this play would unravel. While Carswell ended up scoring rather easily, that was not to [...]
