So Much For The Big East Being Worth Something

There was the prevailing idea that Louisville and Rutgers would be making some kind of statement: what that statement is... the HQ has no real clue... but some kind of statement about their place in the Bee-Cee-Ess...

So much for that idea- on both fronts...and Charlie Strong's viability during Silly Season may have taken a hit...

First, Teddy Bridgewater played with a broken bone in his wrist... which the HQ gives him due props for... But UConn beat Louisville in overtime- which will send the Cardinals plummeting in the rankings...

And, then, Pitt scored 21 unanswered in the second on their way to a 27-6 upset of Rutgers- who was ranked 21st at the time of the opening kickoff...

Pitt, still left in some shambles from the Hurricane Todd Graham era, had to have Paul Chryst pick up some pieces... the Panthers, behind Ray Graham, are now 5-6...

Three Pitt CFB Starters Arrested

((HT: KDKA-TV))

Not what new head coach Paul Chryst needed heading into the Notre Dame game or anything...starters whose legal status is in question...

Running back Ray Graham, defensive back Lafayette Pitts and wide receiver Devin Street are all facing charges of assault and conspiracy in connection with an alleged incident on October 21st in the Pittsburgh suburb of Oakland.

A man by the name of Karl Olsheski alleges that the three football players approached and eventually surrounded him while he was walking down the street with two women. The complaint alleges that Graham made a comment toward Olsheski. Street then, allegedly, punched Olsheski in the head.

The three received summonses to appear for a preliminary hearing January 9th. No word from campus if Chryst has (or will) discipline the three leading up to the game tomorrow.
