:07—Oh yeah, here at the Pitt game. After an early tight first half, Pitt was giving the Tar Heels some work, but the star of Carolina, Justin Jackson, went to work. At 15 to 90 in the second half, the Panthers got the memo that a little “D” can go a long way. Down 10 to a very long and talented team, I’m still calling for the upset. Stay tuned.
:06—But just for the record so you don’t think I’m crazy, N.C. is substituting a 7 footer for a 7 footer. I’m just sayin’!!!
:05—By the way, lest you’ve been sleeping under a rock the past two weeks, you know pitchers and catchers reported. Your Pittsburgh Pirates are set for the annual 3rd or 4th place run in the division. Go Bucs!
:04—Speaking of the Connie Hawkins League, and I was a few minutes ago if you were paying attention, let’s go back, all the way back, back to East Hills when it was all the way live. About 1,000 people a night came to see these names on any given night. “The Hawk,” Kenny Durrett, Hosea Champagne, Larry Harris, Ron Carter, Clyde Vaughn, Leroy Freeman, Craig Prossor, Gary Nelson, John Marshall, Armon Gilliam, Norm Nixon, Kirk Bruce, Sam Clancy, Clarence Hopson just to name a few and a few more I’m probably forgetting. By the way, did I mention that everybody I mentioned here played professionally? That’s right. If you’re reading this and you’re too young to have been there, too bad. And if you’re old school and wasn’t there…what the hell were you thinking! That’s right. We had it like that. Not to mention all the other legendary players. Ricky Coleman, Jeep Kelly, Bobby Byrd, Mike Williams, Eric Carter, Jeff Baldwin, Rich Cotten, “Dr. Hook,” “Dr. Death,” Kevin Walk, Melvin Paul, Mike Goosby, “Junkhead,” Bobby Franklin…somebody stop me please! Yeah, it was like that…And – do – get – me – started – about – the – women!!! (Somebody text me if you know what I’m talkin’ about. 412-628-4856.

:02—The 16th Annual Pittsburgh/Allegheny County Public Service Awards are upcoming Friday, March 31 at the historic Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall in Oakland, 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Recognizing and honoring our local heroes, those who protect and serve.
