This is a much more enjoyable topic. Kinston, NC is not far from my home and the location of my favorite restaurant. The linked essay is kinda long, but very interesting.

Sports Pickle: Kevin Stallings caught by FBI offering $100,000 to anyone who would attend a Pitt basketball game

“He asked random passersby in the street, former Pitt season ticket holders, even his secretary and the school’s athletics director to simply attend a Pitt basketball game and stay for the entire thing in exchange for $100,000 in cash,” said a person with knowledge of the investigation. “Yet they all turned him down.”

It is not clear yet if the FBI will charge Stalling with a crime for his actions, only that FBI agents found his behavior “pretty hilarious.”

We laugh, but Pitt still scored more in the second half that we did in an entire game up there

How we didn't fire gregory after that debacle is beyond me. That was year 4. Should have been left in Charlottesville after that performance.

Lol from the Pitt board

Alabama scored 30 in the last ten minutes of the game vs Minnesota this year despite playing with only 3 players.

Today also set the record for most Pitt losses in a season in their 110 year history. Add that to biggest losses, biggest home losses, longest losing streak, etc. Stallings just keeps padding his resume.

Starting the seniors was a decent thing to do.

No risk with a no chance of victory. Might as well congratulate him for not threatening to kill a player.

Sounds like he’s on his way out.

$10MM buyout is what a Pitt blogger said Sunday night. Thats a huge chunk of change.

And they just committed money to their football coach with a 7 yr extension or something like that.

Don't worry Pit it's only going to mean your program will be irrelevant for about a decade or more.

It was a tough night in the Top 25 last yesterday. What happened to Rhode Island???

Just saw Kenny’s tweet about Pitt. He must not have watched us play UVA a few years ago when we lit it up for 8 innthe 1st half and 28 for the entire game.

Can anyone with refereeing experience explain why a foul isn't called when a player is on the floor with the ball after a loose ball is grabbed and an opposing player dives on him going after the ball. It happens over and over without a foul called.

Or why its no longer a travel when the player snatches the ball and slides across the floor....

Did you see our game @ Clemson? It was inconveniently called on Okogie for his 3rd foul. Also saw it called on Grayson Allen @ VT on Monday night.

With that, I think the more productive question is, what's the criteria for when it is called a foul vs. not? I don't think we'll find the answer in the rule book, rather it'll be by examination of who is making the call (and maybe circumstances of the game). In other words, all signs point to inconsistency in applying the rules.
