DeJuan Blair Is The Man!

I like to think I had a role in Pitt Panther DeJuan Blair's success. You see, we're both from Pittsburgh. We played summer basketball on the same court (ten years apart I might add) in Pittsburgh's Hill District. And I used to get the beat down by big men like Blair, playing pick-up ball at his old high school, Schenley High. Okay, that's a huge stretch. But anyway, Monday night Pitt beat up on UConn and some sports writer complained that Blair's tough play was borderline illegal. C'mon! He's the man. And he proved how bad he is when he grabbed a rebound and flipped UConn's Hasheem Thabeet on his back. Blair makes me proud to be from Pittsburgh. Now if the Panthers can just get to the Final Four this year...
