Final: Notre Dame 76, Pitt 72 Disappointing performance from the Panthers, who allowed a short-handed Notre Dame team to shoot 56.3% from the field. Pitt falls to 16-11 overall and 7-9 in the ACC, and it will probably take an ACC Tournament run to reach March Madness now.

I guess DJ Stewart wants that first-base spot.

NYC>Chicago is legitimately a great corridor for high-speed rail, if states of NY, PA, OH, IN & IL could unite for it. You could hit: —NYC—20m —Philly—6m —Harrisburg—600k —Pittsburgh—2.4m —Youngstown—400k —Cleveland—2.2m —Toledo—600k —Ft Wayne—500k —South Bend—300k —Chicago—9m On a ~straight route

“If you had to guess the leading cause of death for children and young people around the world, what would you say? Malaria perhaps? Pneumonia? Suicide? They’re all high up there, but no, it’s road accidents.”

I’m still offering my publicity idea, free of charge, that Pitt should put a giant padlock on Scaife Hall that says “ELON MUSK.”

Sending out the #PittBS signal to vote for Olivia Babcock for the AAU Sullivan Award. It will be tough for her to win, especially after an Olympic year, but being a finalist would be a huge accomplishment. aausullivan.secure-platform.com/95th/organiz...

Good analysis here from Jon. I'm sure when ESPN saw its WNBA ratings (for a mid-May-to-October season) go up 170 percent, they thought "why keep shelling out for MLB?"

Local elections matter. Trump & Musk slashed funding to the Pittsburgh non-profits that help refugees get settled in successfully — and ACE Sara Innamorato is stepping in to help. content.govdelivery.com/accounts/PAA...

Andrew Heaney for 5.25 plus incentives is a good deal, surprised it wasn't more like 8. Talented staff, one possible flaw was innings. I feel better about that now. A very rare good Ben Cherington moment. Oviedo likely moves to pen as he builds up from TJ. This makes them better on paper.

Couldn't say it any better than Paul Martino: Jon Burnett "was a man who was made to be on television." We lost quite possibly the friendliest Pittsburgher we had. Rest in peace, Jon.

Echoing this. Let's all be a little more cautious about a headline that is essentially "The Travel Lobby Seeks More Subsidies For Airports."

PA had to beg, borrow and plead with Norfolk Southern just to get a 2nd daily Amtrak trip between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg. But... oops! Turns out it's contingent on a *discretionary* $144 million federal grant that hasn't been obligated. Gotta love it! penncapital-star.com/economy/fede...
