Uber Eats makes national headlines but not the game itself

Duquesne made national news last night.  The sad thing is that our city’s all sports all the time station 93.7 carried the Uber Eats delivery story but didn’t even give the score that Duquesne won as an even “by the way” story.

They only cover Pitt now and no other scores.

Re: Uber Eats makes national headlines but not the game itself

The incident was more annoyance than anything, to me. The irony was that the announcers screamed into the microphone repeatedly about 'Hey, there's a basketball game going on', while they themselves ignored the game while yakking about the delivery kid..

Come, come now! That was just snappy repartee by the Algonquin Round Table of announcing. (somewhat obscure reference in the style of Loose Cannon)

Had to look up "Algonquin Round Table", but "Loose Cannon" - got that part.

Does anyone know how this guy got admitted to the arena? Where was security at the gate?

It was a prank.  Not really an Uber eats driver.   There was no security as people can apparently just walk onto the court.   And he was not kicked out but allowed to return to the stands.   Mickey Mouse operation at Duquesne.

I had the same questions Motor.  I am glad it was just a prank, but regrettably in today's world people in charge of security can't afford to laugh it off as a harmless prank.  At least I hope that is the way DU Security looks at this.

The Dukes went on a scoring spree after the Uber-Food dude. Maybe that should be our new mascot? Just saying. LOL.

Right!   No one commented on the bad turnover their best player had, throwing to ball directly to Rotroff while that kid was on the floor.   It worked out great!
