Welcome to the Athletic Aesthetic Podcast - where art and sports connect through conversation. 🎙️ On today’s episode, we sit down live at Cupka’s Cafe II in Pittsburgh’s South Side with former Pitt Panthers Oderick Turner, Chris McKillop, and Eric Thatcher — three key players from the historic 2007 Backyard Brawl. Hosted by Vinnie Candelore and co-hosted by Brian Iwanonkiw, we revisit the memories, rivalries, and raw emotions of the legendary 13–9 upset that shocked West Virginia and etched itself into college football history.This episode is brought to you by:🏠Pillar to Post – Ruggieri Team: Helping Pittsburgh realtors and homeowners with trusted, top-tier inspections.
