I think the only way this headline gets more Yinzer is if I sandwiched a handful of french fries between the words. The Rooney family, known for their class, made a nice gesture to welcome new Pitt basketball head coach Jeff Capel to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ opener today. Capel, interviewed by AT&T Sportsnet’s Robby Incmikoski said the Rooney’s personally invited him to their Steelers’ suite.
Capel is already rocking the Buccos’ hat too. A nice touch.
After getting the Panthers’ job, Capel confirmed he’s been a life-long Steelers fan.
“As a lifelong Steelers fan, I know Pittsburgh as the ‘City of Champions’ and our goal from day one will be to recruit, coach and develop champions on the court, in the classroom and in the community,” he said at his opening press conference.
