Something's not right about this picture
He looks like such a modest man there, cordially waving to his supporters. Yet you kinda get the sense he’s been getting a big head from running “the best program in the nation.”

Do Not Mock the Metal Bottles
They are awesome. They get Beer cold in ice in like 3 minutes. There should be a Nobel Prize for beer packaging, and those should win it.

You mean like the cans do?
Is there a taste difference between metal bottles or plain cans? I do not have extensive experience with metal bottles.

There is a difference
if we need some sort of a mettalurgist to come in and sort this shit out so be it, but the bottles are better. I think they are lined or something.

Do we have a metalurgist on this blog?
We’ve got just about every other profession covered.

You're right
As soon as we find a metallurgist, we’ll have enough professions to start our own country on an island somewhere. What could go wrong….?

Of course
His job is Bacon Czar of BSD Island. And I can’t even imagine the unspeakable things that would happen if he didn’t fulfill his duties in securing our bacon. We could go all Lord of the Flies on him, and he’d be Piggy (pun intended)
I wouldnt be anywhere else.
Plus, what like we couldn’t manage a heard of pigs? I mean many of us are alumni of the farmers college (granted not too many would have studied anything related to farming).
There’s no way there could possibly be a bacon shortage I assure you.

True Story
Here in Texas there is a guy in my church that wears his Steelers jersey to church every Sunday during the season.
You can take the boy out of the ‘burgh, but you can’t take the ’burgh out of the boy.

worlds best tailgating beer. ever.
there is actually a distributor in altoona that still sells this sweet nectar.
anyone know of any other place that might have some?
World F#$king Champions
Its around SC somewhere, or at least was 4 years ago.
Old German was a primary beverage of this here commenter as a freshman. Under 10 dollars a case, and as the cans state “the world knows no finer.” All I know is my roommates buddies on the water polo team bought it for him, haven’t seen it recently in my scouring of the local distributors.
Trivia: Old German originally was Yuengling’s discount line beer. It was discontinued and sold to the Pittsburgh Brewing Company in 1994.
Now that is a beer that panders to the entire state.

i too
can attest to its existence as late at 2005 in state college. we always got it from Pletcher’s, off of Atherton.
they also sold pounders and 4-0’s, lemme tell you what, Ill never play edward 40-hands again because the first time i played it was with the OG
For the glory
I know you can still get it Pittsburgh
In 16 ounce returnable bottles no less

Is Old German Still Made???
This information is unverified, but how I understand what happened. . .maybe someone else can help. . . .
Pittsburgh Brewing Co. went bankrupt, got bought out, and changed its name back to its original name from the 1800s, Iron City Brewing Co. Since that change, Old German has been harder to find. I know Iron City Brewing Co. still markets IC, IC light, and Augustiner. Do they still make some of the other more, um, “economic” beers that PBC used to peddle? Old German, American, American Light, Brigade, etc. . .
I can verify American, American Light and American Ice are all still made
I mean, when you see a 30 pack for about 8 bucks you notice it.
Haven’t seen OG since freshamn year (05) though.

I loved that guy
Every time he went on the air, I was just waiting for an hummer to roll down the street behind him, 50-cal blazing away at anything that moves until the gunner takes a moment to waive to the camera, then returns to said blazing-away. Also, this post needs a Wanny’s Wall tag.

Pitt fans
All I can really assume is that they’re content with their mediocrity. Go to Pitt Blather and they ignore this stuff like it’s the plague, or just try to talk their way around it. They’re more consumed with where one of their bball prospects will be drafted, because “omg lol we actually have a successful bball team rotflmao!!” Of course, that’s ironic, since their bball team hasn’t actually won anything significant lately, but I digress…
Lest we not forget, a 10-win season would’ve been “one for the ages.” Pitt remains a joke, and personally I’m glad we scheduled Rutgers instead of them.
"We heard all that talk all week about the SEC and their speed, but we knew personally that they weren't nearly as tough as us."
-Tony Hunt
How 'bout it
I dropped over at Pitt Blather the other day to see what was going on. I skimmed through some post about Knox committing. There was no mention of PSU in the post other than Knox had an offer from us. But the third comment was a totally out of the blue mention of Felder’s ESPN article on our terrible schedule.
They hate being our little brother so bad. I was hoping Dixon would take the USC job just to completely smash what’s left of their pathetic world.

The Knox thing is kind of intriguing
He gets expelled from Central Catholic, down the block from Pitt, because there were a lot of “bad influences” that were affecting his behavior and grades. So his folks do the right thing and get him out of there. He goes to Baltimore and DeMatha Catholic where he seems to have thrived.
He must be a pretty good kid overall, because I would think DeMatha is pretty intolerant of bad behavior. Also, he has enough upside for JoePa to grant him an offer. Problem now is he is going right back to Oakland and the outside influences that drove him out in the first place.
I hope he can stay clean and be successful at Pitt…but it will be interesting to follow him the next few years. If I were his parents, one of those other offers would have looked pretty good to me.
Does it matter who you schedule?
If you’re going to lose to Bowling Green anyway?

Hey now

Let’s be fair; it’s too much to ask Wannstedt to beat Mighty Rutgers.
