I have friend originally from Knoxville who now lives in Pittsburgh and loves it. He has invited me and another Augusta friend (also a Tech alum) to come up for the Tech - Pitt game. I don't know about my friend, but I am still undecided.

Well, if you do end up going I can recommend this restaurant: http://www.properpittsburgh.com/ I live in a part of the country that has some of the best pizza and I can tell you that place holds up. Plus the beer list is excellent.

Go! Just don't stand up to cheer the team. Take the incline up to a restaurant overlooking the city on Friday night. Sunday, check out Falling Waters in Ohioplye ( if you go, make sure to make reservatiobs) before returning home.

Although it IS likely to be pretty boring, although still possibly a good game, Pitt would not seem to be a bad choice, because that low attendance means you can probably get damn good seats.

Two years ago....got Row 1 seats in the corner next to the Tech band....cheerleaders and Buzz in front of us. Paid $23 each......50 yard line tics were about 50

Louisville seems like a fun game to go to imo.

Stay downtown. Lots of bars, bourbon places etc.

Honestly, it is an act and everyone jumps on him so hard. He makes a lot good points imo. Most everything I agree with. Except for him putting CPJ last in the coach rankings. But..he’s a dawg fan so what do you expect?

Act or not, he's a total *******, and if you don't think he believes everything he says, well .......

I heard that about the pan pizza in Chicago, and although it was definitely loaded with all kinds of good stuff, it was only ok at best; severely lacking in distinctive flavor.

Yeah, I remember your tale about standing up there. Thanks though for the reminder. Are you planning on going this year?

Unfortunately, it is early in the season and my little guy will probably have a football game on that Saturday.

It looks like a former Miami football player is going to spend the rest of his life at Club Fed. Former Miami and Cleveland Browns TE Kellen Winslow Jr has been arrested and faces multiple charges of rape and burglary.

Woohoo! $5k take home. I guess every coach has to start somewhere though.

Texas Tech signed 6-11 345 pound OL Trevor Roberson. I wish GT could have signed him

6-3 305 Alabama OL Brandon Kennedy,who GT recruited,is graduate transferring to Tennessee. I'm surprised that Alabama head coach Nick Saban allowed him to do that but i think he may have been doing Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt a favor since he was Defensive Coordinator for him at Alabama. Brandon Kennedy will be able to play two seasons for Tennessee.

Jackson back on the team at VT. Is anyone really surprised?

I figured VT would find a way to get him eligible again I still don't think Virginia Tech does better than 8-4

I don't think Saban cares about anyone but Saban.

Anyone know how many defensive starters they have coming back this year?
