  (9:59 AM)

Gooooooooooood morning!

Buzzmaster

  (10:00 AM)

We have a special guest in Dave Wannstedt joining us at 10:20 a.m. ET!

Brandon (Minnesota)

Gooooooooood morning!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I love leaving 3 hours early on Friday.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Starting today's MB with Boogie Down Productions' "South Bronx."

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Hey all. Hope everyone's having a good start to their Friday.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Morning folks. Your top minor league prospect for Matt freaking Capps? Wow.

Godish (Chicago)

Deanna Favre has renewed her gym membership in Minnesota. It's reported when she works out, she looks like a kid out there.

Eric (Chicago)

Morning and Happy Friday MB...another trade happened...Buzz got traded to The Food Network.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Good Friday morning, folks! Catching up on some podcasts today.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!! I'll be in and out today, work really picked up for some reason this morning.

Greg (Boston)

So Buzz, it seems you and Albert Haynesworth have a lot in common, starting with the fact neither of you is able to pass a conditioning test after multiple tries.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Who says I'm even trying to pass? Or even taking the tests to begin with?

Steve (NJ)

Gooooood Morning! Kicking it off with Brendan Benson's 'A Whole Lot Better'

Herm Edwards (ESPN)

Dave, be a man. Put your name on it.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Out of respect for Coach Wannstedt, I will table my dislike for the Pitt Panthers while he is here.

Buzzmaster

  (10:02 AM)

Be nice. Coach is a cool guy.

Colin (Northern VA)

J.B. (Dunmore, PA) got punked in the Ryen Russillo chat yesterday.

Homer Simpson (Springfield)

So you tried, and you failed. The lesson: Never try.

Christian (High Point, NC)

What's with all the athletes failing physicals these days? Buzz, you don't need to pass a physical I hope.

Bob (Jersey)

Yay! Dave!

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

It's been a little while. What's up everybody of the MB?

Scott (Indy)

Someone in the office contracted a "Zombie Virus" (computer guys words there). Today is going to be a good day!

Christian (High Point, NC)

Not working now means working this weekend. Screw it I need a break.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh I like coach, Buzz. I just hate the team he coaches. I'll be nice to him.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Dave has a wonderful 'stache.

Buzzmaster

  (10:03 AM)

That he does.

fred (omaha)

buzz you need a handlebar mustache, be rollie fingers only fatter

Clay (Charlotte)

Good Morning, TGIF all, big plans for the weekend Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:04 AM)

Going to a friend's wedding. Not sure if the bar will be open, though as of right now, I don't feel like drinking, with the sore throat and all.

Scott (Indy)

Who gets to ask about Coach Wannstedt about his mustache?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

How noble of you, J.B.*

B (Boston)

Can't wait to get Wannstedt's lunch plans and thoughts on pie.

Eric (Chicago)

Where's Ernie Banks, "Let's Play Two!"

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

Gunshot to the head is the only way to kill a zombie...Aim for the head!!

Scott (Indy)

I wish I had a pencil thin mustache

Steve (NJ)

Crap, the zombie apocalypse is upon us! Everyone, grab a bludgeoning instrument, and for god's sake, try to keep from being bitten!

Scott (Indy)

(walking into chat room with arms out) Groooooaaaaannnnn

Clay (Charlotte)

Does anyone else do the toilet math? You know, I make this much money, if I spend X amount of time on the toilet at work I get paid this much to do my business? Maybe it's just me...

Colin (Northern VA)

I read yesterday's chat transcript and saw Tomwit's line about this being an estrogen laced soap opera and cat chat. That is too funny. Cant make this stuff up.

Buzzmaster

  (10:05 AM)

Or did you?

Greg (Boston)

Are you kidding, hard liquor is the ultimate cure for a sore throat

Buzzmaster

  (10:06 AM)

Perhaps, but there is no desire to drink when I'm not feeling well.

B (Boston)

What do we want? Brains! When do we want it? Brains!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

For the 754th consecutive summertime week, my weekend plans involve doing some work on and around my house.

Mike (Orlando)

so ive learned one thing since working at universal.....english people really do say cheers after everything

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Oh come on, Clinton. Can't we just bury the hatchet here and move on? I have no issues with you. Don't know why you have them with me.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Going to a wedding and not drinking? Thats the only reason I go to weddings.

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Well, this happens to be a really good friend. So, I'm going and might drink, might not.

Eric (Chicago)

Coach has the look of a charcoal griller.

Tom (NM)

Buzz, try bourbon and honey

LadyBuzz (Buzz Mansion)

Personally, Matty and I drink whenever snowflake over there gets sick; what a whiner.

Ryan (NY)

Big Brother, pretty awesome ep last night no buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:07 AM)

Can't believe Rachel won again. That house better be careful, because those two are gaining in their powers.

Nate (Madison)

Have a wedding tomorrow. Rumor is it's an open bar at the beginning for a couple hours then just free beer/wine for the dance part of the reception. Totally acceptable to me.

LBJ (Miami)

I'm not going to lie. I watched ESPN Classic the day before The Decision and saw the Marlins beat the Indians in Game 7 of the '97 World Series. I made up mind right then.

Clay (Charlotte)

Ahh, for those video game players in the crowd the new Madden 11 demo is online for download. Not really sold on the new playcalling thing, but overall, it's pretty cool.

Scott (Tampa)

On that wedding invitation, did they give you three food options? Beef or Chicken and for Buzz both...since you're fat.

Jackson (WCH, OH)

Andrew's meltdown was freakin hilarious.

Greg (Boston)

Andrew is the most insane character in Big Brother history, which is saying a lot because Rachel is right up there...

Buzzmaster

  (10:08 AM)

I think he just lost it and did some self-sabotage there. I think he didn't want to be in the house any more.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Buzz, you seem to get sick a lot. Maybe Matt is slipping extra germs into your poptart box.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

I don't know if I'd call it a lot. Usually once or twice per year and usually around the season changes. That's why I don't know where this sore throat came from.

Buzzmaster

  (10:09 AM)

And I hate getting sick, so, according to LadyBuzz, I tend to become a little whiney when I do get sick.

Jeremy (Dallas)

Buzzard, it's Friday!

Mike (Orlando)

buzz i went to a bar last night that had complimentary bacon. you would of loved it.

Yoga (Madison)

The only way I can get Nate to dance is if I get him drunk. Thank God for the open bar.

Steve (NJ)

Buzz, I'd like to introduce an idea to you: seasonal allergies.

Buzzmaster

  (10:10 AM)

Oh, no, I already know I have those too.

Matt Damon (Buzz mansion)

Tom you can't prove a DAMN thing!

Beastie Boys (Brooklyn)

SABOTAGE!!!!

B (Boston)

I love that Loretta brought Miggy Tejada to SD because he's a cool guy and a reward for a good season. Miguel Tejada everyone!

Larry (Tampa)

I think I may wear a Ilgauskas Heat jersey to an Indians game. Wish me luck.

Andy (Olathe, KS)

No Big Brother here, I watched Wipeout instead.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

I just bought Madden '10 so I'll let the folks who paid $50 for the new version play and critique it for now.

Scott (Indy)

Looks like a possibility of someone in the Brigade going home on Big Brother this week.

Buzzmaster

  (10:11 AM)

Rachel's going to put up Hayden and Kristin. And if Hayden's smart, he'll try to get Kristin out of the house. She's going to bring him down if he's not careful.

Brandon (Minnesota)

Same here Andy, It was couples edition on Wipeout. And the lady's were the suck.

Mike Gundy (Stillwater)

Tom, that's garbage. So get your facts straight.

Marc (Charlotte)

Snooki pontificating on politics last night might have made the Jersey Shore that much better.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

Watched an episode of Big Brother sometime last week, I guess, and I hate the Jersey Shore talking guy with a passion.

Josh (North Dakota)

You are so stupid, Buzz. You know NOTHING!

Christian (High Point, NC)

My wife hates it when I get sick and whiny, avoids me like the plague. But of course, when she gets sick ...

Buzzmaster

  (10:12 AM)

LadyBuzz has the immune system of 20 humans. She never gets sick. I think she's had one cold in the last 2.5 years.

Ryan (NY)

Andrew's plan at the veto meeting was pretty dumb. People aren't that stupid. If any1 agrees to become Saboteur, it will suck.

LadyBuzz (Buzz Mansion)

Whiner? That's like saying the Great Wall of China's sorta impressive.

Internet Whiner Guy (Cyberspace)

Whiny? Like us? By the way buzzard. Why won't you post me?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Oh, I couldn't see you getting whiny.*

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Sorry I'm late.

Scott (Indy)

Did you see Kristin and Rachel yelling at each other after Rachel won the HOH already? I'm looking for a lot of drama this week.

Jackson (WCH, OH)

Buzz, I don't know if he did it on purpose. All I know is that me and the wife were still laughing about it 20 minutes after the show ended.

Pete (NC)

We should have a Big Buzz, where each week we kick someone off the TMB. So who's on the ballot this week?

Buzzmaster

  (10:13 AM)

No. We're trying to grow the audience not drop it. That's how I keep my "job."

Greg (Boston)

Is Kristin the first reasonably attractive female on one of these shows who most guys didn't even realize was there until week 2 or 3?

Buzzmaster

  (10:14 AM)

Yeah, they barely showed her the first few episodes. I was convinced she was the sabatoger because of that.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Marc: Sad part is, she's probably about as politically educated as most of the voting public.

B (Boston)

I watched Toy Story 2 with the kids for the 10,000th time.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Wait, there's a guy named Hayden on Big Brother? Just when I thought I couldn't like that show any less . . .

Zack (Louisville, KY)

I nominate to kick out Pete (NC) for bringing up the idea of kicking people out of the MB.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

My wife is the same way, Buzz. She spends all day around our kids, who frequently get sick because, you know, they're kids, and my wife doesn't get sick ever. Which is probably a good thing given how she's the chef.

Scott (Indy)

I thought the one guy saying he voted to have Andrew committed and evicted from the house was funny.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Dog v. cat chat > Big Brother chat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:15 AM)

Five minutes until Coach Wannstedt gets here!

Greg (Boston)

How impressive can a wall actually be?

Ryan (NY)

Big Brother After Dark was prob interesting last night.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Wait until (if) you have kids, Buzz. I was doing pretty well for awhile there, and then ugh

Brandon (Minnesota)

Cottage Cheese chat > Dog v. cat chat

Spelling Police (TMB)

Buzz, that's 'Saboteur;' you can mail us a check. Now spell safe out there, mmkay?

Scott (Indy)

The MB is a very inclusive club. We let everyone in!

Clay (Charlotte)

Does anyone know how to make an amount from one tab on an Excel spreadsheet copy to another tab? I think I'm slow.

David (Ottawa)

The problem with Big Brother is that its not a good show.

Steve (NJ)

So, Burn Notice was awesome last night...that's 70-odd episodes and counting in a row.

Greg (Boston)

And here I thought you kept your job because the forklift to move you out of your office would cost more than what they pay you

Steve (NJ)

My wife turns into an infant if she has a headache; you have to do everything for her. I, on the other hand, just want to be left alone to recuperate. Should be interesting to see what happens when we have kids someday.

Nate (Madison)

So the bar across the parking lot from our apartment had $2 retro beers last night. Schlitz, PBR, High Life, and Old Style. Stomach is a little questionable today.

Godish (Chicago)

What are people's thoughts on Turkey Burgers? Guy next to met at work said if his mom ever made him a turkey burger he'd put her in a home. Concensus at work is it's not a manly thing to eat.

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Really? I've had my fair share of them and they're pretty good.

Scott (Indy)

I spent a weekend with my nephews a couple weeks ago. Two days later I was getting sick in the restroom at work. Kids have super germs.

Steve (NJ)

Buzz, let's face it - how many chats out there have an FB page and support year-round fantasy leagues?

Buzzmaster

  (10:17 AM)

Bob, I'm going to go with one.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Turkey burgers are fine. They're no cow burgers, but they aren't turrible.

tom* (parkville, md)

If I put a Tab on a spreadsheet, it leaves a ring.

jillinho (norman)

When will I ever remember Friday is chat day and not get up. Bobby Lee needed feeding anyway.

Steve (NJ)

Nate, you moved into an apartment across a parking lot from a bar? What on earth was Yoga thinking?

Pete (NC)

Awesome. My self-sabotage worked.

Brandon (Minnesota)

Nice Bob Barker reference buzz.

tom* (parkville, md)

Turkey burgers are outstanding. Just make sure they are thoroughly cooked.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Steve: Only issue with Burn Notice last night is that the lightbulb trick was completely unnecessary. Also, Jesse is still the scarecrow in the group.

Steve (NJ)

Turkey burgers are on the menu for dinner tonight; a deli nearby makes really good ones. No sub for beef, sure, but they taste good and are much healthier.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Poultry shouldn't be served in burger form, in my opinion.

Bob (Lowell)

Morning all. By the way the new granddaughter is absolutely gorgeous.

Buzzmaster

  (10:19 AM)

Mazel Tov!

Brandon (Minnesota)

Anything turkey gets my attention. So yes, i would eat them.

Ellen (LA)

I'm voting myself off.......out

Clay (Charlotte)

tom*, extremely helpful.* Wait, do they still make Tab?

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Well, at least Nate only has to stumble across the parking lot to get home.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Free Nate!

Nate (Madison)

Had my first veggie and salmon burger last week. We were at a cookout type thing at a vegetarian's house. Salmon burger pretty good, veggie burger was decent but a little dry. Still prefer my red meat.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Black bean burgers are in my opinion better than turkey burgers. They have a little spiciness to them.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Free Bobby Lee!

Greg (Boston)

Turkey Burgers are pure pulse, not ssure I'd slap my mama for making them, but not something I would go out of my way to order (or ridicule someone else for eating. But giving the choice, why would someone not go for the real thing?

tom* (parkville, md)

I proposed a toast to Bob's new grandaughter (raises Coke Zero)!

David (Ottawa)

I'm so sidetracked today. Buzz dropped a "mazel tov" two days in a row. Wondering if he actually knows what it means (the literal translation)

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Either way, I'm sure you'd be more than willing to *enlighten* the rest of us.

Nate (Madison)

Monday ($4 off pitchers so just $6 for Miller Lite) we both went over there to have ONE pitcher. Had two along with one drink. She was a little tipsy coming back home.

Scott (Indy)

Buzz is getting ready for Coach Wannstedt.

Buzzmaster

  (10:21 AM)

Yes I am. He should be here any minute!

B (Boston)

Yay Bob!

Marc (Charlotte)

Nate moves in with Yoga and starts eating Veggie Burgers.... And it starts...

Greg (Boston)

Today is half off a slice of cheesecake at the Cheesecake factory today

Rich Rod (ann arbor)

people who watch big brother need to get a life

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Congrats on the grand baby. My kids are in Florida with my parents. My dad sent me a text this morning telling me they were camped next to a couple who have a granddaughter named Jaelen Rose. Yep.

jillinho (norman)

Buffalo burgers, anyone?

Buzzmaster

  (10:22 AM)

Those are pretty tasty.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Pitchers are normally $10 there? Damn, that's expensive.

Scott (Indy)

Did you hear Chelsea Clinton is getting married?

Christian (High Point, NC)

It's always important to have a minimum staggering distance bar nearby.

Steve (Austin, TX)

I want to try a Brat Burger. I saw it on TV this week, forgot what show, either a MvF or DDD episode. It looked delicious. They pretty much just take brat meat out of the casing and make it a burger.

tom* (parkville, md)

Buffalo meat is wonderful.

Steve (NJ)

Buffalo burgers > buffalo filets. Much easier to cook.

Bob (Lowell)

Thanks Tom*

Christian (High Point, NC)

I now want A-Rod to hit his 600th home run to put whoever is in charge of updating the ticker out of his misery.

Jackson (WCH, OH)

Why is it ok for vegetarians to eat fish? Aren't they animals too?

Nate (Madison)

Had a alligator po'boy (spelling?) when I was in Florida a couple years ago. Not bad.

B (Boston)

Ostrich burgers are pretty good too, for a bird.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Buffalo burgers are pretty darned good. Better than venison burgers, which are just slightly too gamy for me.

Steve (NJ)

Buffalo meat in chili? Now there's the way to go.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Buffalo meat is awesomesauce. Expensive, but man that's some good meat right there.

Buzzmaster

  (10:24 AM)

See, that's how I know I'm not 100%. All this talk of burgers and I'm not getting hungry.

Steve (NJ)

Fish don't feel pain...but they do invest in 401Ks.

jillinho (norman)

I guess buffalo aren't endangered now.

Nate (Madison)

Vegetarians are like religions...pick and choose what they follow and when.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Had a buffalo steak once out in Colorado. Very delicious stuff!

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

In the words of Kurt Cobain: "It's okay to eat fish cause they don't have any feelings."

Josh (Harrisburg, PA)

Is Wanny here yet?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

He's doing something with SportsCenter.com and will be here shortly. I guess they ran over time.

Ben (Boston)

Moose Burgers are quite tasty as well, who's ready for lunch?

Buzzmaster

  (10:27 AM)

Here he is!

Herb (Burgh)

Seeing that Utah rarely loses at home, what are you doing now to prepare the team for the opening game?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:29 AM)

Well, I think we have enough tape and what I say and what is written does not have as much impact as a player sitting down and watching the opponent catch the ball, make the guy miss and run 30 yards for a TD. Utah has been an exception team the last few years and the tape proves that.

tom* (parkville, md)

Good Morning, coach. Would you be interested if the Big Ten wanted Pittsburgh to become a member?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:30 AM)

We really didn't, from a coaches standpoint, give a whole lot of thought or alter anything we did for the 2-3 month period when all the discussion was going on. If there were to be a conference realignment down the road, it wouldn't change our approach to how we do things one way or another. It would really be almost a non factor to me personally.

CJ (Pittsburgh)

got to ask the Coach what he thinks of his nickname. You could be called alot worse things than 'the Stache'

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:31 AM)

Oh, you know what, I've been called a lot worse and will be. But I think that the students and some of the fans have some fun with it. If it's something that identifiable trademark, more power to it. Plus I hear that T-shirts and coffee mugs are going like hot cakes. So you better get one.

Pedro Salgado (Brazil)

How is Greg Cross going to be used this year?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:32 AM)

He's right now our fourth receiver. he was voted the most improved offensive player in spring practice. He will be graduating. I am so excited about Greg's senior year and how he's going to help the team.

Tom (NM)

Coach, do you and your fellow football coaches feel like 2nd class citizens since the Big East is known as a basketball conference?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:33 AM)

We don't look at it that way at all. When you look at the non conference teams that we play during the season and our record. The bowl games and our record. The number of players per conference being drafted into the NFL, our numbers speak for themselves in all of these areas and we are second to none.

Brandon (Minnesota)

Dave, do you miss being a NFL head coach, or do you like the college game better?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:33 AM)

I love coaching at Pitt. I would not see myself doing this at any other college. Pitt is home. It's my alma mater. And I enjoy at this point making a difference in young men's lives on and off the field.

B (Boston)

Coach, what's the ceiling on what Dion Lewis can do this year?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:34 AM)

I don't think he has to do anything more than last year. I think he has to be a consistent week to week performance, like last season. I don't think he's under any pressure to score more TDs or run for more yards. The key to his season will be consistency.

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:34 AM)

Now, I would take a few more touchdowns.

Clay (Charlotte)

Coach Wannstedt, since it's a highly contested argument here, I have to ask. Charcoal or gas grill?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:35 AM)

Preference would be charcoal, but I have to be honest, it's probably been 10 years, so I'm gas. More convenient.

Kyle (South Oakland)

Coach, do you think Dan Mason is ready to handle all the responsibility that comes with being the starting middle linebacker?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:35 AM)

Most definitely. I look for Dan to be one of those unsung players that makes a huge impact on our team this year.

Adam (Pittsburgh)

Are any of the incoming freshman good enough to not redshirt and receive some playing time this year?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:36 AM)

I can't honestly answer that. I think we have some exceptional talent, but how they handle the high school to college transition is yet to be determined.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Coach, how much has the size of offensive linemen changed since you played?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:37 AM)

The position of OL has changed significantly since I played. When I played, 250 pounds was a big lineman. The norm of 300 pounds is almost the average.

Kyle (South Oakland)

Do you have to hide Jon Baldwin from Jamie Dixon to keep him off the basketball court?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:39 AM)

No. Actually, I gave Jon the opportunity when we recruited him that if his grades were good enough and he wanted to try basketball, he could. But he has had no desire.

Greg (Boston)

So in a few words, why is this the year this group wins its first BE title under you?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:39 AM)

I think we have enough players on this team that feel we can win every week that we line up, if we play good enough.

Alex (New York)

Coach Wannstedt. First of all as a Pitt grad 1982 I'm very happy to see Pitt's talent back to where it was. Question for you coach, are you worried about the interior of the OL and the DL. To me that's the biggest question going into camp and how is Tags doing?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:40 AM)

Yes, there is a concern, moreso on offense than defense. But I feel with Tony, our OL coach, and the attitude of our young linemen, the group will come together.

Clay (Charlotte)

Coach, at what point do you look at a guy and think they are good enough to play on Sunday? Does that alter how you coach them?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:41 AM)

It does not alter how I coach them. It doesn't take very long to separate, in my opinion, the guys who can play on Sunday and those that can not. Having the ability to play on Sunday and actually putting yourself in postition to play on Sunday are two very different things.

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:42 AM)

Coaches don't eliminate players in the most cases. Players find a way to eliminate themselves.

Scott (Pittsburgh)

How much did the 13-9 victory over then #2 WVU in 2007 mean to your program?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:42 AM)

It was a springboard. It didn't guarantee any wins the following year, but it did give us some momentum for the following season. It did give us energy to finish a strong recruiting class. It gave our players belief that if they keep working hard, good things will happen.

Grady (Ohio)

what are some areas(city,states) you feel you must hit every year to have a successful class?

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:43 AM)

The entire state of Pennsylvania, southern New York, New Jersey, northern Viriginia, eastern Ohio, Maryland.

tom* (parkville, md)

The best thing about the city of Pittsburgh is...

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:44 AM)

The people.

Dave Wannstedt

  (10:44 AM)

Thanks for everyone turning out today, looking forward to a great year.

Buzzmaster

  (10:44 AM)

Thanks coach!

Sparta (Peloponnesia)

We are the greatest city/state of all time!

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

You mean Primanti Brothers isn't the best thing?

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

Who makes the sandwiches? People.

Luke (Pittsburgh)

GO PITT!

Clay (Charlotte)

Wow, nice guy, complete gentleman, and great stache.

Buzzmaster

  (10:45 AM)

Coach was great. He likes to grill and he likes his nickname. What more can you ask for?

Andy (Olathe, KS)

No one asked about pie! That's what I get for having to work. The second most important question didn't even get asked.

Buzzmaster

  (10:46 AM)

I'll admit, I saw a couple of pie questions, but we had other questions coming in and I didn't want to spend the time going back to look for the other ones.

Clay (Charlotte)

Did he find the grilling question weird, Buzz, or just take it in stride?

Buzzmaster

  (10:47 AM)

He, and the other folks here from Pitt, just laughed. Thought it was funny.

Mike (Pittsburgh)

He's a great compliment to the University and the city of Pittsburgh.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Always nice to have a guest chatter who doesn't answer just 4 questions over 15 minutes.

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

My questions to the Coach sucked. Thanks for not posting them Buzz.

Bob (Lowell)

Who eats the sandwiches? Buzz.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

That wasn't too bad for an MB interloper. Glad he answered charcoal, even if he did hedge with propane.

Manager (Jerkstore)

We're running out of Buzz!

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Buzzard, just noticed you have Herm booked. Excellent.

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

Herm should be fun too. I think he has some sort of announcement that he's making that day as well. I think we'll find out Monday morning.

Marc (Charlotte)

Put your name on it, Buzz.

Buzzmaster

  (10:49 AM)

I'm a man. I'm not 40, but I put my name on it and I'm a man.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Lunch: Got enough left on the Subway gift card for one more combo. Definitely will not be the meatball marinara on wheat.

Mike Gundy (Stillwater)

Buzz, if you aren't 40, you are not a man.

Christian (High Point, NC)

Lunch chat! After taking a break yesterday with a Hot Dog with Bacon and Cheese, today is the final day of home-assembled chicken wrap with chipotle ranch.

jillinho (norman)

Can you get Mack Brown? He's always funny.

Buzzmaster

  (10:51 AM)

We did! Tuesday of this week.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Herm on Monday? Buzz you are earning that $20K/year. I'm a Herm fan for sure.

Buzzmaster

  (10:52 AM)

And J.B., we had a lot of questions coming in for Coach, so if I didn't post any of yours, it's just because I didn't see it.

Brandon (Minnesota)

Lunch: Clinton Special w/ Mountain Dew white out.

Parker (Pittsburgh)

Good Morning BUZZ!

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

I just found out that Fernando Torres, he who looked like a 90 year old in the World Cup and couldn't start for his team, makes $170,000 a week. I hate my life.

Marc (Charlotte)

Lunch: I've been crazing Arby's all week. Today, I'm making it happen.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

I seriously hope that Herm answers at least one question about his role in Press Hop 2.

Nate (Madison)

So basketball during lunch yesterday was not that fun. Tweeked my ankle, jammed my knuckle on my pinky, and got hit in the man region.

Bob (Lowell)

Lunch....whatever is in the bowl my gf gave me on our way out the door this morning.

Buzzmaster

  (10:53 AM)

Your girlfriend feeds you in a bowl? Are you sure she doesn't think you're her pet dog?

Quentin (Green Bay) [via mobile]

So apparently a giant asteroid may demolish Earth in 170 years.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Someone in Norman asking for the Texas head coach? BLASPHEMER!!!

Jillinho, you shame your Oklahoma fandom.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Lunch: Taco salad made by my wife. Outstanding work!

Herm Edwards (ESPN)

I'm going to make Buzz skinny. You play to win!

jeremy (Va) [via mobile]

Is there anybody that you didn't like after having them chat with us, Buzz?

Buzzmaster

  (10:54 AM)

I'm not sure there has been someone that I didn't like. Though there may have been and I can't remember right now. But there are certainly guys that have been better chatters than others.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Clinton, you should get the turkey sub, with chips.

Nate (Madison)

Lunch: Left my lunch at home. Can either run home or skip lunch and leave early today. Decisions.

Mack Brown (via mobile)

C'mon Jill, get your facts straight.

Quentin (Green Bay) [via mobile]

As long as she feeds me I don't care what she thinks.

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Lunch: Chicken Etouffee, I think.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Torres was recovering from 2 surgeries and was not in good form during the WC. He's a class player though.

Just finished my lunch. A grilled ham and cheese, a grilled pepperoni and cheese, and a bowl of creamy tomato soup.

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Well played, Buzzard.

LeBron (Miami)

Nate, just take your lunch to South Beach

JB (TX)

Dropping in to say happy bday to the Governator, Larry Fishburne, Hilary Swank, Jaime Pressly, Phoebe from Friends, Vivica A. Fox, the chick from Dodgeball, and Simon Baker. Also, Buzz, I know we son't chat often anymore, but it's good to know you're still fat.

B (Boston)

Yes, jeremy.....all of us.

Greg (Boston)

Did Buzz just apologize to someone for not posting him? Buzz, you are sick!!! Try to bring back the dirty tyrant by Monday

Buzzmaster

  (10:55 AM)

No apology. More explaination.

Fake Brian (Madison)

What's wrong with liking both Oklahoma and Texas?

Hayden (Logan, Utah)

Buzzmaster

  (10:57 AM)

From time to time, yes. We have to keep things Mickey Mouse friendly in here.

JB (TX)

Speaking of soccer, I was one of the 70K at the Man U/MLS all star match at Reliant on Wednesday. Fun times. Soccer has officially surpassed baseball for me as far as going to the event in person.

Yoga (Madison)

Nate better come grab his lunch. I replaced his bag of cheetos with a some healthy 100 Calorie packs of chips ahoy cookies.

Ryan (NY)

You don't have to Buzz, you just choose too.

jillinho (norman)

104 here this weekend. Golf has been temporarily suspended. Have a good weekend.

Nate (Madison)

Christian, it's open at lunchtime but closed on Sundays (good/bad for various reasons). Also has excellent happy hour specials.

J.B. (Dunmore, PA)

Thanks for the chat week, all. Gotta run for now. Have a good weekend and see you Monday. Feel better Buzz and thanks again but no explanation was needed.

Johnstone (Wicker Park)

Have a good weekend Buzz. The lesson of the week, Dogs>Turtles>Cats>Fish.

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

I was hoping to get a better response out of Forsett when I asked about the maple bars.

Buzzmaster

  (10:59 AM)

He laughed after that question. Thought it was funny, even if his answer didn't portray that.

Clinton (Indianapolis)

Bar food is definitely hit or miss. Some places have great stuff, others not so much.

Justin (Rockford, IL)

Lunch: leftover Thai Pie pizza from Old Chicago last night, good stuff

Zack (Louisville, KY)

Don't knock those 100 Calorie Chips Ahoy cookies! Those are actually very good.

Greg (Boston)

MA=Illegal to have Happy hour drink specials=pure BS

Jack (California)

Did someone mention Happy Hour?

Josh (Lincoln, NE)

Have a good weekend everyone. Hopefully I sober up by Monday.

Buzzmaster

  (11:00 AM)

OK everyone. Have a fantastic weekend. We'll be back here on Monday. Until then, stay classy SportsNation!

Everyone have a great weekend and don't forget to plan for next Thursday's giant holiday celebration. Peace.

Nate (Madison)

No bags of cookies. She made a batch of chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin a couple days ago.

Steve (NJ)

Stupid work making me miss hte last half of chat. Lunch today is lean cuisine, water, and grapes. On the plus side, there's that whole 'grilling turkey burgers for dinner' thing tonight. Best part? Grilling at my old man's place, so no clean up!

Matt (IN) [via mobile]

Alright folks, I'm out of here. After today's chat I've been inspired to grill some buffalo burgers this weekend.

Tom (West Bloomfield, MI)

Bye, Buzz. Ending the MB with Barenaked Ladies' "Crazy." Very fitting.

Mickey M (Orlando)

Dance, fat man!

Christian (High Point, NC)

"Our House" in Allston, MA had great bar food (at least they did a decade ago). Loved the steak-and-cheese and the fries.
