Does Bob Smizik Read "The Grandstander"?

This is a Cut-n-Paste from Bob Smizik's blog on post-gazette.com this morning:

For the longest time, the Pitt-Duquesne basketball game was No. 1 on my Pittsburgh regular-season sports calendar -- ahead of anything the Steelers, Pirates or Penguins could offer. I cherish the memories of that bitter rivalry. But the game has lost almost everything -- except, most notably, a media buzz it doesn’t deserve. They can dress it up with a title -- The City Game, which was stolen from the New York City hoops culture -- but it’s almost always bad, boring, one-sided basketball. This year’s game had a spark of competitiveness but to suggest there is anything special about this contest -- or that there is anything special about this rivalry -- is pretty much a lie.

Obviously, Smiz has been reading The Grandstander.  Page back and see my entries of 12/8/12 and 12/3/13 if you don't believe me.

I take this as a compliment!
