All the Links: Weekly Pitt link dump / "Tura Lura Lural" (Van Morrison)

What a week. Hopefully we don't have to go through that again. In the past seven days, Pitt lost a star football player to a transfer, lost a star basketball player to the NBA draft, and lost a women's basketball coach due to, well, bad basketball. There was also the loss to Trey Zeigler to throw in there. Other than that, things are good.

Today's live music is a live version of Van Morrison doing Tura Lura Lural with 'The Band' for "The Last Waltz", a concert documentary. Surprisingly, this song is on the soundtrack but didn't make the film.
