What Did Columbus Actually Say When Approaching Pittsburgh?

“Paisanos! We are in waters I ain’t seen in a long time!”

Now, I am a student of history, and I’m pretty sure Chris never navigated the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio, but if he woulda, that, like many Wolfpackers, is what he’d have said. Trust me. Pretty sure he warned pilots about rocks along the way, too. “Awhhh…funculo! There goes the Santa Maria. Minchia!”

Road games are like the stuff Christibol went through. Ripe with unfamiliarity, angst at not really knowing the lay of the land and the disposition of the natives. This Pack crew knows absolutely nothing about the Panthers. Never encountered them, never seen ’em in their habitat, ‘cept for some Marlin Perkins films.

“Jim! Are you aware that these Panther Sophomores are the #30 ranked recruiting class?”

“Yes, Marlin. They are young and wirey, and not yet wise in their ways. Their Alpha padded on off to Buffalo.”

“Yeah, Jim. They also have this trainer called Narduzzi. Like handlers before him, he has that panther instinct to orchestrate kills on inattentive prey, no matter the current state of the pride.”

“Yep. Marlin? Hey wait. Have we ever seen a pride of panthers? I don’t think so. Those cats are sneaky enough on their own. Did you know that Columbus returned with only two ships?”

” Sure, Jim. What the hell does Columbus have to do with panthers?”

“Nothing, really, Marlin. Wanna discuss Captain Cook and Hawaiians? I got some film of that. Poor devil got cocky and lost more than a ship.”

    a couple of thoughts: 1. you gotta question Narduzzi pulling his paison DiNucci for Pickett.. Seems, in retrospect, a self-inflicted wound. 2. A number of Pack teams from the past would not have got their bow up (especially on defense) in the second half against a conference team on the road. that’s a good sign that the seniors on defense ain’t quitting. Go Pack!

    Highest ACC win total in Dave’s career already. Really happy with this road win in a trap game type situation.

    Pat Narduzzi is making sure a QB controversy takes place in Pittsburgh.

    My favorite Pickett tune was his first hit..

    “I Found A Love” c. 1954

    raw and clean, not the polished later sound…
    which I also enjoy…. remember I’m a Tenor SAX guy too….

    And I think that ought to be this season’s WOLFPACK football team’s theme song….

    15 minutes to POP!!!

    GO PACK!

    Crisis averted. Finley and our receivers reverted to the mean in the second half. Next week will be awesome.

    Nice to see us come out of the locker room playing better today. Now it’s off to the bottle of Tums and Game 2 of the ALCS.

    Hopefully the game ball goes to Darian Roseboro.

    The fleet remains intact…Marlin and Jim survive to give us another episode where we’ll see them on the lookout for the elusive Leprechauns, two weeks from today.

    One thing about TOB, he could dial up and lock into a bye week tackling tutorial.

    Excellent second half after a gut-twisting first 30 min-on to the Hoos!
