The Cruelest Month


In his poem, The Waste Land, T.S. Eliot, states the April is the cruelest month.  For the University of Pittsburgh Panther Football Team it was November. The Panthers lost  all 5 of their games by a combined score of 167 to 100.  Boston College, Louisville, Clemson, Virginia, and SMU all took it to the boys in blue and gold.  It was embarrassing at times to watch how badly the Panthers were playing. They were on a roll going into month number 11, 6 wins in a row.  Then the bottom dropped out. What happened??? Too many turnovers and penalties, overall failure to execute the offense, and/or the defense couldn't stop the other team.  I wish I knew.  It was good while it lasted.  Time to regroup and look ahead to next season.  As always...Go Pitt!
