I thought it would be a while before we saw someone on par with or even surpassing Kayla Lund but here we are and I am here for it

Me, sitting in my couch, much to the chagrin of my wife and kids -

“THIRTEEN NINE! THIRTEEN NINE! THIRTEEN NINE!”

Of course when a less talented team like ND pushes them to the brink is that because they are getting better coaching? I don’t know. Fish is great but not having his best day today

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 5h

Yeah. It doesn’t happen often but it looks like it today

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 5h

I know everyone has injuries but I wish Pitt was playing this match with Dagmar in it.

Feels like they really valued the head to head over SMU and Kentucky

I’m so sorry, Amy. I lost my dad 2 years ago and I know it hurts

If Pitt plays the way they’re capable of playing they’ll win. They just need to play the way they’re capable of playing. Can’t sleepwalk through a set and a half against a team of Louisville’s caliber

“A pair of Irish” and “tools the block” over and over and over until I die

They weren’t overly partisan just sounded like a couple of high school kids that had never called a game before

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

As talented as anyone in the country but maddeningly inconsistent.

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

Pitt VB friends, SMU-Louisville going to a 5th set right now.

My “herbal” health? Good lord autocorrect

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

Respectfully asking Pitt Volleyball to take my herbal health into account and finish this match strong

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 8d

My mental health improvement plan of “Pitt Volleyball” isn’t working out great tonight

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

You’re not wrong. This team is talented but awfully inconsistent. Need to see that they can get their shit together

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

These announcers actually aren’t bad but if I have to hear “pair of Irish” or “tools the block” one more time I’m going to stick a pencil in my eye

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

Would be big if they can pull off the reverse sweep when obviously they are out of sync and out of sorts

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 1d

Me, sitting in the Applebees parking lot waiting for them to bring out my to go order - “THIRTEEN NINE! THIRTEEN NINE! THIRTEEN NINE!”

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah but that doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The highest paid defense in football should be able to impact that

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 2d

Many have already said this but if the Steelers aren’t getting turnovers the defense still sucks

Peter F @petefrompitt.bsky.social · 2d

Should let them score here. Can’t let them run the clock down

NEW BANDWAGONER'S GUIDE: It's not enough for you or me to want the 2027 Volleyball World Championships in Pittsburgh, so I'm writing an open letter to someone who *could* make it happen.

Pittsburgh Should Host the Volleyball World Championships, and I Know Just the Guy to Help

If you want something done around here, send a kindly worded letter to a rich guy with lots of influence.
