Well we made it. Rumor has it there will be some COVID scratches on the Pitt side. You’d like to think our depth overcomes that. The Duzz is undefeated vs FCS, and we should look for that to continue. The only question is whether Pitt covers the spread. #h2p and let’s gooooooo!!!

An elderly couple is going to their doctor for a checkup.

In fact, when I get up at night to Peay, the good Lord turns the light on for me.”
The doctor decides not to comment on that last statement, and goes into the next room to check on the man’s wife. “How’re you feeling?” he asks. “I’m doing well,” answers the old woman. “I still have lots of energy and I’m not feeling any pain.” The doctor says, “That’s nice. It sounds like you and your husband are both doing well.
One thing though – your husband said that when he gets up to Peay at night, the good Lord turns the light on for him. Do you have any idea what he means?” “Oh No,” says the woman, “He’s Peaying in the refrigerator again.”
