It was just a couple of weeks ago that I wrote that Pitt football would not reclaim national relevance in my lifetime. Head coach Pat Narduzzi was rated something like the 12th “best” coach in the 15 school ACC. He has not recruited well. 4th-And-Five-Franklin has cleaned Duzz’ clock each recruiting season they have gone head to head.  Imagine my surprise then when yesterday I saw this as one of the lead sports stories in Google’s aggregated news.

In USA Today, too. National attention. It’s frigging JUNE okay, so I’m not having an organism but it was national news and it did zoom Pitt’s class up from the 50’s to the 20’s and ahead of Deez Nutz class. IN JUNE! But still, great news.
