THE WANNSTACHE LIVES
WOOF! MEOW! I CANNOT TELL A LIE!The Wannstache likely gets one more year of cruising cool in his Camaro with the re-hiring of Steve Pederson, recently canned Nebraska AD and former Pitt Athletic Director. Pederson’s first tenure at Pitt was eventful: he demolished Pitt Stadium (singlehandedly! not really!), built a new basketball arena, and oversaw one of the worst logo redos in college history:
Pederson commissioned a triangular logo of a panther that, at a distance, resembled a pit bull, or a bust of George Washington. This logo is not found on the front page of Pitt’s athletic Web site and has not been used since 2005.
One horrifying quote from the article: if Wannstedt were fired, one leading candidate for the job would be HRF3242 Beta Model 4, the cyborg known as Bill Callahan.

Someone tell Orson, in an unrelated memo,
that Evel Knievel, has died….
He was my first lunchbox/Thermos combination when I was a kid, before the NFL lunchbox took over…

The Pantherdog’s just mad because it has a buttcrack on its head.

Mike Vick loves him some Pitt Panther logo.
And as I said earlier — Wannstache was Pederson’s first choice for NU.

And yes, Callahan’s is not possessive sense. One of those crazy, little known rules of the English language where only “it’s” and “Callahan’s” means “it is” and “Callahan is”.
And “the” is always short for the word “that” after the word “turd”. Again, another little known rule.
God I’m smart.

Wanny just got a contract extension until 2010, I guess the administration was confused by Lou’s Pep talk this week to PITT

This may sound unbelievable, but there’s actually a cabal composed of several Swiss bankers, a few southern politicians and Bear Bryant’s brain in a jar that makes all hiring decisions for public unversity athletic departments. That is why people with no prior success continue to be hired. The goal is to keep college football in a perpetual state of chaos, causing people to burn cars and couches and not paying attention to the haphazard fasion in which this country is run. And something about 9/11.

That Pitt logo always makes me think of the Hound of the Baskervilles. Which would be an awesome mascot, by the way… but only if that’s what you’re actually going for.

I forgot how wonderfully civilized Western PA is…towns like Ambridge, Beaver Falls, and Aliquippa are still worth a damn, damn it!

As a Dolphin fan I saw the decline of Pitt coming right down 5th avenue. As a fan of football, I strongly believe that Dave Wannstedt should be arrested for crimes against the nation. He doesn’t have to go to Gitmo or anything but should be barred from any job above Division 2 level.

“We will not concede the Big 12 to Texas and Oklahoma” Right, Steve-o. Instead you conceded it to Kansas and Missouri. Nice job.

At least they don’t have status of fucking bobcats all over their campus when their mascot is the catamount. It’s a fucking mountain lion people!
