Pittsburgh Post- Gazette column

Seems as if this forum wasn't the only one angered by that jerk columnist. Check out these links to the Providence forum:

I like this reply posted in the first thread you linked from the columnist email-bombed about his anti-PC stance:

So I wrote to the guy last night asking who was more overrated:

Providence
Bucknell
Georgetown
#12 Pittsburgh

His response:

Well obviously Providence must have a good reading program because all of you geniuses that are e-mailing me apparantly read somewhere that I (A) give a rat's behind about Pitt or (B) ever said Pitt was a great team.

In fact, if you read what I wrote, I said Pitt was a team with a great record -- and I would expect that even you would agree that 10-1, which is what Pitt was when the artivcle was written, is a great record --- but has yet to prove anything because they built it against a soft schedule.

Further, if you've read anything, you'd know I have been very critical of Pitt and its scheduling practices and the fact that I don't believe beating up the coppin states of this world makes for a great team.

If you want to rip me because you don't think I respect Providence, feel free. But please, don't ever come in here trying to insult Pitt and think you are somehow getting to me. I am not a homer, I do not work for Pitt, I do not write for Pitt's benefit.

Gotta love a nimrod who fights back - better than Simzit (or whatever his name is) who, as best as I can tell, has not responded to any emails from any of us yet.
