RED SOLO CUP, I FILL YOU UP, TO YOUR DESIGNATED MEASUREMENTS.  Pitt's Department of Student Affairs informs us that the lines on Solo cups are actually predetermined measurements for mixing drinks. Mind = Blown.

SHREVEPORT, LA > BIRMINGHAM, AL.  The SEC has replaced the MWC in the Independence Bowl, pitting the 10th SEC team against the 7th ACC team.  The 10th team in the SEC last season would have been Mississippi State, Kentucky, or Vanderbilt.  So picture the BBVA Compass Bowl in a different state.

THE B1G TEN THINKS THE BCS IS AWESOME, YOU GUYS.  With all of the talk if implementing a Top Four playoff system in college football, everyone thought it was just a matter of selecting a format for said playoff...until some old guy the Nebraska Chancellor said that the B1G Ten Presidents would prefer the status quo.

REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD.  Former Pitt linebacker and G.O.A.T. Scott McKillop talks about possibly landing a spot with Wanny up in Buffalo.

MOVING ON UP, TO FEDERAL COURT.  Pitt's lawsuit against the BIG EAST conference has been moved from the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court to U.S. District Court.  Ron Cook probably thinks that by doing so will blow it out of proportion and would be considered whining.

LARRY FITZGERALD WAS THE DUDE.  ESPN's BIG EAST Blog talks about the greatest individual seasons in the history of the conference.  Larry Fitzgerald's 2003 season comes in at #2.  Pat White's 2007 season came in at #5.  I bet that would have been higher had it not been for this:

13-9

FUN WITH RANKINGS.  Why are sports writers in Oklahoma writing about the BIG EAST? No idea.  For some reason, they decided to rank the BIG EAST teams' non-conference schedules.  Pitt came out a lot better than anticipated.

LIKE A GLOVE.  Athlon Sports discusses the move of Pitt and Syracuse to the ACC and while some speculate that the conference should be having second thoughts, the move was more about "a good fit" than anything else.
