Pittsburgh had a great season. They won 11 games, they beat Clemson, and won the ACC. No one can’t take away what they accomplished, but it’s not what it could have been. It could have been a truly magical season with a win in the Chick-Fila Peach bowl. That would have been a 12 win, …

The 1962 Rose Bowl established a college football Civil Rights milestone, but the 60th anniversary of the New Year’s Day game will come and go attracting little, if any, recognition. What should be remembered as a tipping point quickly turned into an oxymoron – a “forgotten milestone.” The culprit was a 1960s media custom of …
