Gameday: Pitt vs North Florida Ospreys

Pitt (8-1) vs North Florida (3-5)

7:00 pm

Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, PA

Last Meeting: Pitt 95 North Florida 49, November 12, 2010

What I said in the recap:

"It finally might be time to bench Gary in favor of Dante.  A starting lineup of Taylor, Zanna, Brown, Wanamaker and Gibbs would be super athletic without losing any rebounding (which is apparently a strength of predator's according to the Pitt news though I don't see it)."

Lol, benching Gary for Dante.

The North Florida Ospreys play in the Atlantic Sun Conference, which also happens to be the same conference as East Tennessee State, the 16 seed that almost upset our Panthers in the 2009 tournament.  Man, I miss that '09 team.

In 2005, North Florida began the transition to Division 1.  Let's just say, they've lost unlimited games since then.  They have a rivalry with the Jacksonville Dolphins that is called the "River City Rumble."

This just in.

River City Rumble > River City Rivalry

Their coach, Matthew Driscoll, is from Pittsburgh, and he's attempting to turn the program around (hey, they did win 16 games last year).  He went to Northgate High School.  Northgate High School is a piece of poop.

"I am the smartest man alive!"

Hail to Pitt,

J.O.
