Pittsburgh Panthers
1. The Name Game. Pitt's starting lineup includes a lanky Canadian forward with stupid lines shaved in his head and a compact cornrowed point guard formerly of the famed New York Gauchos AAU team. One is named Levance and another is named Levon, but can you tell which is which?...

Meow Meow Meow Meow
Every Day Should Be Saturday, whose daily brilliance might be what we'll miss most about college football once it's gone, directs us to this clip from last night's West Virginia-Pittsburgh game, in which quarterback Pat White does his best impersonation of Halle Berry in Catwoman. It's one thing to ...

Ironhead Heyward Passes Away
Craig "Ironhead" Heyward has passed away at the age of 39. He'd been battling a brain tumor for more than seven years, and it finally got the better of him. I think most people will remember him for four things, not necessarily in this order: 1) An outstanding college career at Pitt. 2) A non-quit...

Life Keeps Kicking Pitt Kicker
If you can find time today, send some positive thoughts out to Pitt Panthers kicker David Abdul. He's currently undergoing tests to see if he has a genetic heart condition like the one that required his brother to undergo surgery. But that's just the most recent thing he's been through. Observe......

Bradley/Pitt Going Down To The Wire
Bradley's up 7 right now with about 5 minutes to play. It should be a great finish, if Carl Krauser stops punching people. Krauser missed a lay-up, Aaron Gray put it back in, and Krauser got up and on his way back down the court, threw an elbow into a Bradley player's back. It's not the first time...

Allan Ray's Eyeball
A couple of readers e-mailed last night to say that they saw Villanova senior guard Allan Ray's eyeball actually get popped out of his head last night. ESPN is apparently refusing to show video of it. We here at Deadspin have no such scruples, so if any of you have the footage, feel free to send i...

Pittsburgh Panthers
1. Show Biz, Baby. Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon and associate head coach Barry Rohrssen are both members of the Screen Actor's Guild. Orlando Antigua, currently the director of basketball operations and also former Pitt player, was the first and only Harlem Globetrotter of Latin American decent. Rohr...

Playoff Pants Party! Steelers at Colts
More ugliness. This would be horrible if the Steeler's won this game. Please. This can't happen. We really need to see the Patriots/Colts decide this thing once and for all.(Erm, this season, at least.) (Yes, barring the Broncos don't screw it up, either.)...

Brent Musburger, Public Nuisance
Thanks to The Mighty MJD, who directed our attention to this: ABC sportscaster Brent Musburger was ticketed last Saturday for drinking beer in his car. Directly after the Nebraska-Pittsburgh game — about which a Nebraska fan commented, "I think a lot of people needed a drink after that game" ... a...

Price For Mustache Rides Drops Dramatically
We can't help but notice something: It has been a bad few days for the mustache. Pittsburgh coach Dave Wannstedt is 0-2 as coach of his alma mater. Orioles steroid pariah Rafael Palmeiro is gonna hide for the rest of the season, probably for the rest of his career. And the patron saint of this, To...
