Have you ever noticed how nobody's
written a romantic song about Pittsburgh?
After all, every section of the country has
had a song written about it . . . California
has had more than its share of love
songs . . . The Allman Brothers,
Livingstone and James Taylor have all done
songs about Carolina.
But Pittsburgh?
What would you call it ... Lost My
Heart in a Pittsburgh Steel Vat!
One of the reasons might be that
Pittsburgh is just not that sort of town which
inspires lovely thoughts.
Take for example the Pittsburgh
Pirates . . . the first part of their batting
order is named Murderer's Row, not exactly
the sort of guys you would take home to
mom.
How about the Steelers? Mean Joe
Greene . . . you know, the whole gang . . .
they don't conjure to mind hearts and
flowers.
Then, there are the Pittsburgh Panthers.
The Panthers have this running back
named Tony Dorsett, who as a sophomore
has already set a new school career rushing
record.
Right . . . in one season and three games,
Dorsett is the best running back in Pitt
history with 1994 yards. He rushed for 1686
yards as a freshman, and gained 308 yards in
three games this year.
A little careful addition will show Dorsett
needs only six more yards to become the first
2,000-yard rusher in Pitt's history.
Dorsett gets his chance today at 1:30 p.m.
when he and the Panthers square off with the
North Carolina Tar Heels in Kenan
Stadium.
It will be the first meeting between the two
schools, but not the first meeting between
UNC head coach Bill Dooley and Pitt
mentor Johnny Majors.
The two coaches worked together at
Dooley's alma mater of Mississippi State.
Dooley was the head freshman coach and
Majors was the head of the Miss. St. B'
team.
When the two teams played each other in
practice scrimmages, the games were dubbed
Bowl Games'.
Majors considers Dooley the closest
friend he has in the nation's football
coaching ranks and vice versa, but as Majors
put it earlier this week, "Our friendship ends
Saturday at 1:30."
Dooley shows a lot of respect when talking
about the Pitt visitors, comparing their
defense with the Maryland team that
stopped the Tar Heels last week in College
Park.
"After looking at films, I've found that
Pitt is just as big and strong as Maryland,"
says Dooley. "Pitt slugged it out with a
powerful team like Southern Cal last week
and held its own."
Pitt led most of the USC game, 7-3, but the
Trojans rallied with two last quarter
touchdowns for a 16-7 win.
Carolina had its own troubles last week
when the Heels lost their first game of the
season to tough Maryland. The loss gave
Carolina a 2-1 record.
Pitt is currently 2-1 after beating Florida
State and Georgia Tech.
