Podcasts about Pitt

Pitt has had eight freshmen play enough to burn their redshirts this season. Who has played and what have they contributed? Plus, who else is close to burning a redshirt and which upperclassmen could still take a redshirt? All that and more on today's Morning Pitt.

This week on The BIG LIFE, Leah and Kate open up about their first loss of the season — a tough one against Pitt — and how they're turning that sting into fuel for the ACC tournament. With so much on the line, they reflect on what it means to bounce back, refocus, and play with purpose. They look ahead to a huge semifinal matchup vs. Duke and share what it's like prepping for big-time games on neutral turf. From mindset shifts to tournament pressure, Leah and Kate keep it real about staying present and trusting the work. They also revisit favorite moments from the season so far — big wins, locker room laughs, and everything in between. It's a reminder that team culture runs deeper than any scoreboard.

Host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise to take stock of Pitt football's ACC title and College Football Playoff chances following a big win against Stanford. This show is presented by FanDuel. Is a conference title starting to feel like a real possibility after stumbles from Miami and Georgia Tech this past weekend? If Pitt is able to beat those teams plus Notre Dame in its final three games, does it have a viable CFP path as an at-large if ACC tiebreakers don't go the Panthers' way? Do coach Pat Narduzzi and OC Kade Bell have some depth in the running game now with the emergence of Ja'Kyrian Turner behind Desmond Reid? And how good can this defense be with Kyle Louis back healthy and Rasheem Biles trending in that direction? Our duo tackles those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this hour, Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick wonder how well Pitt Football will have to do to move up in the CFB rankings. Also, how likely is would it be for Steelers' QB Aaron Rodgers to go on a retreat in the NFL offseason with someone from The Fan? And another edition of QUIZ CALLAS! November 6, 2025, 8:00 Hour

In this hour, Adam Crowley, Dorin Dickerson and Pat Bostick discuss how the Steelers must be feeling now that they're comfortably in first place in the AFC North. Also, Pat talks about how he felt when he saw Pitt was ranked in the CFB Top 25. November 6, 2025, 8:00 Hour

Pitt QB Mason Heintschel joined the show. Mason said his favorite football jersey is his Patrick Mahomes one from around 2018. He was a 3-sport athlete in high school, so the guys asked him about his HS exploits. Mason told the guys why he is a Tennessee Titans fan. He joked that the Titans upset playoff win over the Ravens a few years back was ‘one of the best days of his life.' Mason said baseball was a little bit too slow of a sport for him to get into. What was Mason's motivation getting into college football? Mason said scoring on the first drive in his first start really raised his confidence level. Mason watches a lot of Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert film. He added Drew Brees to that list. He talked about the role his parents have played in where he's at. Mason talked about the confidence instilled in him, but the fine line you have to walk. He said he's not much of a trash talker on the field, but Pitt has no shortage of that. The guys asked Mason about his chat with Jon Gruden that was published earlier in the week – saying Gruden may be at the Pitt-Notre Dame game next weekend. Mason said he is using the bye week to get a little bit ahead of Notre Dame even with the Panthers winning 5 straight games. Mason talked about the trip to Florida State, playing in front of a hostile crowd, and coming out of it with a win. Mason credited some high school classes for why he has no issue public speaking or doing a full-length interview. Did Mason have any relationship with Bruce Gradkowski, who was a Toledo football legend?

Former Pitt QB Pat Bostick joined the show. Pat talked to the guys about Mason Heintschel and how special of a young man he is. The guys talked about what has transpired at QB with Pitt in the last 12 months. Pat described Mason as a ‘football junkie' and said he was watching film when he was the third QB on the depth chart. What kind of pitch does Pitt have to put forth to make sure Mason is back next season in the NIL/transfer portal era of college football? What led to such love for Notre Dame and the Catholic contingent that roots on the Fighting Irish? The guys said Marcus Freeman is easier to like than just about any coach in ND history. Can Pitt stand up to the Irish next Saturday? What kind of resume is Pitt giving to the College Football Playoff committee?

Olivia Babcock finished with 45 kills against the Tar Heels, breaking the program record she set just two weeks prior vs. Louisville, but is Pitt relying on her too much? Who could step up as a consistent No. 2 hitter for the Panthers? And how much does it help the Panthers that players like Ryla Jones and Mallorie Meyer are coming into their own? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Post-Gazette Pitt football insiders Stephen Thompson and Abby Schnable tackle the hot topics around the team heading into an important ACC matchup this week at Stanford. This show is presented by FanDuel. What should we make of OC Kade Bell's running back usage last week against NC State? Did Desmond Reid play too long after the game was mostly decided? Should we have seen more of Ja'Kyrian Turner and Juelz Goff? Or did it make sense to keep Reid around to close things out? How much credit does the defense deserve for stepping up despite injuries to names like Rasheem Biles and Kyle Louis? How can coach Pat Narduzzi keep that group on track? And why was QB Mason Heintschel able to bounce back against the Wolfpack following a shaky outing in the previous game against Syracuse? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Pitt improved to 6-2 with a 53-34 win over N.C. State at Acrisure Stadium on Saturday behind 423 yards from Mason Heintschel and an impressive performance from the Panthers' under-manned defense. We're getting the week started with a look at the win, what stood out and what's next for Pitt.

Do you think Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger ever had a magic act where Pliny the Elder would climb into a big wooden box with whatever the Latin is for "PLINY THE ELDER'S DE-AGING DEVICE" written on it. Then Pliny the Younger would jump out of the box and say "behold, it is I, Pliny the Elder but younger. But you may call me simply Pliny." Then William Pitt, who had been watching from backstage, calls his dad on the phone and says "Pitt! Pitt the Elder! It's your son, Pitt the Younger. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well listen to this!" and then he holds the phone towards the stage, not understanding that telephones can't convey a magic act that ended twenty seconds ago. "Pitt the Disappointment, more like," says Pitt the Elder on the phone to no one. In this episode. Steve gets scanned. Log gets Zimmed. Joe gets secrets. Charmed I'm sure.
