The Morning After: Weekly Pitt link dump / "The Fireman" (George Strait)

George Strait - The Fireman - Live From Tucson (via StraitCinema)

After a busy week, I'm hoping for some degree of normalcy over the next several days. There was the BBVA Compass Bowl discussion, Paul Chyrst-Wisconsin speculation, and the renewing of the Pitt-Penn State rivalry ... not to mention the City Game.

With all of that going on, it's understandable that we didn't get to everything. Here are some Pitt-related links from the past week that we didn't mention. The live music is back. This one's in honor of Wisconsin's Barry Alvarez putting out fires and ending the speculation that Paul Chryst may leave Pitt - it's George Strait with an old live version of The Fireman.
