  1. I’ll have to ask some friends and relatives about that. My Uncle Fritz spent a decent amount of time down around that way when he worked for Duquesne Light. My brother went to college with a guy from Ambridge. I’ll have him ask about that. I grew up on the Allegheny and I never heard of that around here. Ambridge, the inspiration for Ampipe High in the film classic All the Right Moves!
  2. They almost blew that with those late misses.
  3. Never, in my entire life, have I seen this. Never. Sicilian Pizza is indeed a thing here but, I’ve never seen one with just the crust is baked. Ever. Even the Barstool Sports guy was in Pittsburgh a couple months ago and he found some very good pizza, a couple very close to where I live.
  4. That was a blatant trip on the Dukie
  5. That was some terrible offense down the stretch by Pitt. Our recipe for defeat is so obvious. I have no idea what our coaches do during film study. That said, nice tackle by the UNC player on our final inbounds play. https://x.com/TheLoyalSons/status/1888368729056018574
  6. It’s amazing that Ben Simmons is still in the NBA.
  7. This Florida team is really good. They don’t seem to get the national attention of AU or Duke but, they are a real threat for the title.
  8. I see Iowa State took out some of its frustrations on TCU.
  9. The only pair I could offer is Wilt and Elgin Baylor. But, I don’t think they had the longevity, or the championships like Kareem & Magic.
  10. St. John’s was always my #2 Big East team. Our seats at the old Field House were five rows behind the visiting bench and we always had fun joking, mostly because we were so awful, with most of the teams and their staff. The priest, Father Dreher, who traveled with St. John’s was a cool guy. I worked more than a few Big East Tournaments and got to know him a bit. We used to call him Father DeNiro because he resembled a Mob Priest, perfectly dressed, well groomed with jet black hair. The last time they won the Big East Tournament was the Bootsy Thornton & Erick Barkley team of 1999-2000. They were fun, and extremely volatile as they had a fight in their locker room after one of the games. If I remember correctly Jay Z was seated behind their bench for the three games at MSG for that tournament. Last year at the Big East I got to hang out a bit with Walter Berry and he was cool. He was working as a former player celebrity rep for Schweppes. Along with a buddy of mine who played for Pitt so that’s how I got to meet Walter. I made my reservations this week for the Big East and I’m hoping St John’s will win as MSG is electric when they are good.
  11. This is pretty amazing or, creepy his hand looks like his fingers have been chewed off
  12. I’m friends with his mom (no pictures) and she’s nice. Tyler has always been nice to me but, I have no idea how he is as a coach. I’m not saying we are good friends or anything but, I’ve never really heard a lot of people talking shit on him. I reckon he can’t be all bad.
  13. I completely missed that Tyler Santucci left Tech and went to the Ravens. He's done a lot of moving, Wake (2014-15), Texas State (2016), ND (2017), A&M (2018), Wake (2019), A&M (2020-22), Duke (2023), Tech (2024) and now, Baltimore (2025).
  14. I have used Marvel M.O. for decades. My father used it before I. I swear by it. Back in the early 2000s I would babysit a 1995 Mazda MPV for my German cousins when her husband was a visiting professor up at PSU. They bought it off another professor and it was never really taken care of and had sticking and just ran like a dog with lung cancer. I used Marvel in the gas and oil and ran it one summer and when they came back for the fall it ran like a completely different car. I put it in 500 miles before an oil change. I use it in the gas for nice long trips. I like it a lot.
  15. Kenny Pickett Time!
