		<description><![CDATA[Got some links to clear relating to the football side of things.
At least they spelled his name right in the story, but a Hartford Courant roundup of Big East stuff leads with a bit on Pitt OC Frank &#8220;Signetti.&#8221;
Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt had three requirements as he searched for an offensive coordinator in the offseason.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s another win. It beats losing. It doesn&#8217;t get to be listed as a bad loss like say to the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks come March when Pitt will be sweating the bubble watch. Was it an impressive, dominating win? No. Nor should that be expected no matter how short Eastern Kentucky was.
It is clear, beyond the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, yeah there&#8217;s a basketball game tonight at 7. Eastern Kentucky comes to town. The Colonels are picked to be a middle-of-the pack team in the Ohio Valley Conference. They won their season opener against West Virginia Wesleyan (D-2) 102-71. They didn&#8217;t impress their own coach on defense and they have no player taller than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[He&#8217;s just asking questions.

Joe Starkey penned what may be one of the laziest, craptacular, most regurgitated column I&#8217;ve read in some time &#8212; and yes I am saying it is worse than anything written this year on booing Bill Stull.
Let  me put it this way. This column would be derided as deluded fan ranting from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well a 3d straight night game was probably out of the question.
It will be a noon start which sucks for tailgating. That said, no excuses for the place not to be packed. To decide whether Pitt goes BCS bowling or not.
The good news for those who can&#8217;t attend, is that it will be a true [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nothing like a strong national win, to change Bruce Feldman&#8217;s opinion (Insider subs).
I was skeptical about Pittsburgh. Not anymore. I do think it&#8217;s one of the country&#8217;s best teams. Dave Wannstedt has built a very solid team in all areas, and the Panthers showed that Saturday night against Notre Dame. They have a much-improved QB [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The House Rock Built are violating all sorts of Domer stereotypes of entitled, too-full-of-themselves, humorless, bandwagon fans that feel everyone is against ND and it is all because of jealousy. They are actually taking their imploding season with, you know, humor.
I will not hold that against them, since they are producing fine muppetry.

		<description><![CDATA[Binghamton acting head coach Mike Macon is just trying to make sure his team&#8217;s psyche isn&#8217;t further damaged after the game.
&#8220;You kind of try to see their psyche going into a game like this,&#8221; Macon said. &#8220;A lot of guys never played a team like Pitt in their careers. We had three guys returning who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Maybe it is because my old law school roommate was a SUNY Binghamton grad so it makes the win even better from that perspective. Even if it was some 12 years ago.
It was a fairly easy 71-46 win for Pitt. The game was never truly in doubt. Not with a Binghamton team that lost almost [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be back after I watch with my thoughts. In the meantime, if you get to watch or go to the game. Please share.
