Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1973 through 1982, Pitt had one of the nation's most successful football programs, including a national championship in 1976. From 1976 through 1982, no team in college football won more games than the University of Pittsburgh Panthers. Pitt captured the 1976 national championship with a perfect 12-0 record, highlighted by the brilliance of Heisman Trophy winner Tony Dorsett. The memorable season capped one of the most stunning turnarounds in college football history. From 1964 through 1972, Pitt never had a winning season, and university officials had begun to consider the possible dissolution of the football program. But the hiring of coach Johnny Majors, fresh from an impressive revitalization of the program at Iowa State University, breathed life into Pitt's football fortunes. Majors brought with him a young, aggressive staff of assistant coaches, men whose contacts and experiences touched and reached recruiting regions Pitt had never harvested. Beginning in 1973, Pitt registered eleven consecutive winning seasons. Following the championship season, Majors returned to his native Tennessee, where he had been an All-America halfback during the 1950s. Jackie Sherrill, Majors' replacement at Pitt, continued the winning ways, registering five straight winning campaigns, including three straight 11-1 seasons from 1979 through 1981. Pitt's football program produced numerous All-Americans, first-round NFL draft choices and brought a level of sustained recognition to the university's football--recognition that it hasn't reached since.

Download or read book Tales from the Pitt Panthers written by Sam Sciullo and published by Sports Publishing LLC. This book was released on 2004 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pitt Panthers or the Pittsburgh Panthers? Even their name evokes an argument, a touch of controversy. For anyone who has followed the football and basketball fortunes of the University of Pittsburgh, however, controversy is just one of many facets of Pitt's programs throughout the institution's very long history. Pitt has fielded a football team since 1890 and will celebrate its 100th year of basketball in 2005. Both programs have experienced plenty of success, periods of failure, lots of humor, and some old-fashioned heartbreak along the way. Tales from the Pitt Panthers goes straight to the people who have lived with and contributed to the stories of Pitt football and basketball, including players, coaches, administrators, and fans. Author Sam Sciullo Jr. does not intend the book to be a chronological history of either sport, but rather a look back at some of famous-and not-so-famous--games, teams, incidents, and personalities from both the football and basketball programs. From the recruitment of football legends like Marshall Goldberg, Tony Dorsett, and Dan Marino, to the basketball prowess of Charley Hyatt and Charles Smith. Tales from the Pitt Panthers takes a behind-the-scenes look at a major metropolitan area's sports team that continue to excite and, at times, confound its loyalists. This is a book for fans that have ever wondered what it was like to be in the locker room just moments before the opening kickoff or have thought about the emotions felt in the aftermath of a key victory or a crushing loss. Included are stories about Tony Dorsett running to the Heisman Trophy and Pitt's national championship season in 1976, a 1970 basketball game at the Field House when a brashpoint guard decided to take strategy into his own hands, the things Larry Fitzgerald learned from his near-miss shot at the Heisman Trophy in 2003, and Jamie Dixon's thoughts when school officials searched for Ben Howland's replacement after the 2003 season. Tales from the Pitt Panthers offers a wide-angled look at Pitt football and basketball from several different perspectives, from both inside and outside the program.

Book excerpt: The West Virginia University Mountaineers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers, separated by less than eighty miles of highway, have battled it out on the football field for more than one hundred years. Now, with Pitt announcing its departure from the Big East Conference to join the Atlantic Coast Conference and West Virginia becoming a member of the Big 12 Conference, this intense rivalry has come to an abrupt end. Thousands of players and dozens of coaches - some among the very best to ever play the game - have been a part of this famous series known as the "Backyard Brawl." With fantastic tales about this feud's star-studded rosters, including White, Slaton, Harris, Luck, Huff, Nehlen, and Rodriguez for West Virginia and Fitzgerald, Marino, Dorsett, Green, Majors, and Sherrill for Pitt, The Backyard Brawl celebrates the tradition, heritage, and pride of two outstanding universities. With unparalleled access, John Antonik, a 20-year West Virginia University athletic administrator and WVU alumnus, unearths the fascinating and humorous stories that make up this revered, colorful, and cherished football game-and more importantly, the great passion and pride these schools exhibit every time they take the field.

Book excerpt: The 1910 University of Pittsburgh football team not only had the honor of being the second undefeated team in the program's history, the first being the 1904 squad that went 10-0, but it also did something that the '04 squad didn't, it went through the entire campaign with a defense that didn't allow a point. It was as close to perfection as a team could achieve. Win all your games and pitch a shutout in every contest. Led by All-American back Tex Richards and Hall of Fame coach Joe Thompson, this squad should receive more credit for being one of the greatest ever produced in the history of the program, but it is largely forgotten. Thompson was a great story himself. Elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1971, he was not only an incredible coach but a successful lawyer, a PA State Senator and a great hero in World War I who was awarded the Medal of Honor for his inspirational bravery. The story of this team is so much more than the record they produced. It is truly one that should be honored as one of the best to wear a Panther uniform.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a Sports Illustrated senior writer, “a richly detailed history of Aliquippa football . . . A remarkable story of urban struggle and athletic prowess” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette). In the early twentieth century, down the Ohio River from Pittsburgh, the Jones & Laughlin Steel Company built one of the largest mills in the world and a town to go with it. Aliquippa was a beacon and a melting pot, pulling in thousands of families from Europe and the Jim Crow South. The J&L mill, though dirty and dangerous, offered a chance at a better life. It produced the steel that built American cities and won World War II and even became something of a workers’ paradise. But then, in the 1980s, the steel industry cratered. The mill closed. Crime rose and crack hit big. But another industry grew in Aliquippa. The town didn’t just make steel; it made elite football players, from Mike Ditka to Ty Law to Darrelle Revis. Few places churned out talent like Aliquippa, a town not far from the birthplace of professional football in western Pennsylvania. Despite its troubles—maybe even because of them—Aliquippa became legendary for producing football greatness. A masterpiece of narrative journalism, Playing Through the Whistle tells the remarkable story of Aliquippa and through it, the larger history of American industry, sports, and life. Like football, it will make you marvel, wince, cry, and cheer. “Looks at the struggling steel town of Aliquippa, Pa., through the prism of its high school football team. The author understands the Rust Belt particulars of the region better than most political professionals.” —The Wall Street Journal

Book excerpt: No college football program has ever had to deal with the obstacles, hostility, and challenges encountered by the players and coaches of the 2012 Penn State Nittany Lions, and this book is an account of that unforgettable season in which the team rebounded from a disillusioning 0-2 start to surprise everyone and finish with an 8-4 record, third best in the Big Ten Conference. The turmoil at Penn State began in early November 2011 with the shocking arrest of retired assistant coach Jerry Sandusky for multiple charges of sexual child abuse, and within days legendary head coach Joe Paterno was fired in what would be termed the biggest scandal in college football history. By the end of January, Paterno was dead from lung cancer and a new head coach without any Penn State connections, Bill O’Brien, began putting together his staff while finishing up his job as offensive coordinator of the Super Bowl bound New England Patriots. We Are Penn State tells the story of how this team overcame unprecedented NCAA sanctions, including a four-year bowl ban and the loss of 45 scholarships over the same period, the transfer of several of its star players, and overwhelming predictions that the 2012 season would be a disaster to put together a successful season and restore some dignity to what was once considered one of the elite programs in college football.
