It had to happen. All the comments, the jokes, all the years. Someone finally asked Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt about the big furry caterpillar in the room.SB: When did you decide you were going to adopt the mustache as your signature look?He never did quite nail that Charles Bronson look. Yet somehow the Wannstache is immortal, while Bronson's mustache slowly fades from memory.
DW: Well, I always thought the Charles Bronson look was the way to go, and I didn't realize it would take off. The biggest problem I have is that I don't have much skill with a razor in my hand. I've butchered that thing up more times than not. I had never really given it any thought until someone told me I was on the 10 most viewed mustaches on some Internet service, up there with Charles Bronson and Tom Selleck and myself. So it's crazy. I've been at games in stadiums with students who have pictures drawn up, and that's all they talk about. It's hilarious. I don't plan on shaving it off, that's for sure.

1. It wasn't Reagan that knocked down the Berlin Wall, it was the Wannstache.

2. How does Wanny still have a job coaching at the college or pro level, maybe the stache has something to do with it. Sure the guy can be a decent recruiter but his Xs & Os are terrible.
