Nearby: Jeannette, PAPITTSBURGH (AP) — Dick Hoak, who spent more than 45 years with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a player and then an assistant coach, winning five Super Bowl rings along the way, has died. He was 86. The team announced Hoak’s death on Wednesday. No cause of death was given. “Dick represented everything the Steelers stand for with his toughness, loyalty, dedication and an unwavering commitment to the team,” team president Art Rooney II said in a statement. Selected by the Steelers in the seventh round of the 1961 NFL draft after a standout career at Penn State, Hoak ran for 3,965 yards and 25 touchdowns in 10 seasons in Pittsburgh’s backfield, leading the then-struggling club in rushing three times. Hoak, a Pro Bowler in 1968 after running for a career-best 858 yards, retired after the 1970 season and joined coach Chuck Noll’s staff as running backs coach in 1972.

It can become a surprise for college students walking down High Street, a viral TikTok video and an unexpected way to connect with the Morgantown community.Fink, owner of Brittany Ann Events, began bringing leftover pepperoni rolls and other event food downtown in May. What started as a simple idea has gained millions of views online, with students now recognizing her when she arrives with free food.“The intent was never to go viral,” Fink said. “It was just kind of, let’s have fun with this.” The idea came from Fink’s drive home from weddings. Passing through downtown, she often saw students out at night while thinking about the food left over from the events she worked. When a bride had extra pepperoni rolls, Fink asked if she could take them downtown rather than let them go to waste.
