Would agree with this. WVU is way better than what it showed Saturday. Actually really excited to see how this group fares in the Big 12.

"if your quarterback can get you two to three first downs a game with his legs, it changes everything." ... Penn State got that and more from Drew Allar on Saturday during an impressive victory over West Virginia. My column: post-gazette.com/sports/jason-m…

Penn State-West Virginia was awesome, but it should only be part of the regional rivalry slate. That, Harrison Wallace III and more from Saturday in today's column: post-gazette.com/sports/jason-m…

The Pirates had a two-year stretch where they lost 201 games. The Royals have lost more over the past two seasons, but they’ve bounced back fast. How? That’s the subject of today’s column: post-gazette.com/sports/jason-m…

Taking in some Pitt volleyball from Fitzgerald Field House tonight. Have followed this from afar on baseball. Pumped to finally be here in-person.

Torrey Stafford is a joy to watch. Flat-out dominant. Pitt with an easy 25-13 first-set win. Panthers had 14 kills, Stafford with seven of ‘em. From someone who recently had a tumor removed from her leg. Crazy. post-gazette.com/sports/Pitt/20…

“It’s one thing to get a championship or a result. It will be a truly special year if we value the process.” … Went to Pitt volleyball last night, had a blast and wrote about the Panthers being a breath of fresh air in several ways. My column: post-gazette.com/sports/jason-m…

The Pitt women’s volleyball team has built a really impressive culture. Wrote about that and the Panthers’ lofty goals for this season: post-gazette.com/sports/jason-m…

Was writing Pitt volleyball and at Steelers this afternoon. Just noticed the Penguins are having a Grateful Dead night on Nov. 16 vs. San Jose. Happy (belated) birthday to me. Greatest decision ever. Appreciate you, Pittsburgh Penguins.

Still have not seen an MLB no-hitter. Mike Persak has. Noah Hiles and Andrew Destin now have. I’m convinced I’ll die before it happens.

Pirates manager Derek Shelton was plenty testy last night at a question asked by our Noah Hiles. I took a deeper look at the whole thing: post-gazette.com/sports/jason-m…

Xavier Worthy is fast. Wow. #analysis

These offenses, this quarterback play. Feels like a sizable challenge for the Steelers. Patrick Mahomes just so darn fun to watch. Feel like he might have a future with this football thing.

Lamar Jackson is incredible. But some of what the Ravens have done offensively tonight has been baffling. They didn’t hire Matt Canada, did they?

Aaaand a 49-yard touchdown to a tight end. That’s about as un-Canada as you can get.

Will record Friday’s Q&A edition of First 10 at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Need your questions, any topic in Pittsburgh sports or otherwise. Whatcha got?

Looked Likely … but no. What a finish. My goodness. Out by a toe.

Let’s take another shot at this. Probably tweeted too late last night.
