Anyone wanting a Pitt vs. Penn State annual football game is an idiot.
I don't want it...I guess I am an idiot. What is the purpose??? Seriously. it is a game we should win...and if we lose, it is used against us. No Thanks
Ok.
Iowa plays Iowa Stare every year as an OOC P5 opponent. Since Iowa is also in the conference and has to play 9 conference games they don’t play any other P5 opponent.
Guess what would happen if PSU played Pitt every year?
Just don’t hurt yourself thinking about this too hard.

The game can only benefit Pitt. Why would Penn State have any reason to play them every year?
Its a no win situation for PSU. There is no upside to beating Pitt.
Let Pitt focus on another rival so they can stop accusing every PSU fan being a child molester.
No, actually the opposite is true. Playing Pitt helps Pitt’s relevance in the state and national exposure. It doesn’t help Penn State at all. People wanting the series to continue are either Pitt fans or living in the past. The logic says Penn State should move on.
You must have a great craving for cheap shots, thuggery, vulgarity
classlessness... etc, etc, etc. Perhaps it is you that is the idiot.

Totally idiotic comment. Teams like that (2 per year) will always be on PSU's schedule. They are purchased home games, as every P5 school purchases. If Pitt wants to replace Idaho on the schedule, PSU will be happy to pay them $1M a year to play at Beaver Stadium.
Pitt is being replaced on the schedule by VaTech, WVU, and Auburn. And for some strange reason Temple for 2 years, which noone understands or defends.
I'm glad the series is over. I have no interest in playing Pitt. Franklin has absolutely owned Narduzzi and the Pitt football program over the course of this latest series. Our program has nothing to gain from playing Pitt.
Pitt played the best game they’ve played in a long time and we fought hard and beat them in a big “rivalry” game...and dropped in the polls. Yeah, that’s a great game to have on the schedule.
Sure, let's continue the series. But let's even up the home/home discrepancy. The next 50 games at at Beaver Stadium
Not only has he own him, Nardooshie should charge Franklin rent for living in head.
Franklin has played Duzzi like a fiddle.
Exactly. For proof all they have to do is look at todays college rankings. We beat them in a "Rivalry" game and drop in the poll. Yea it does so much for us.

A win over pitt was good enough for a bye week Wisconsin to move up one spot in the AP into a tie with PSU. In the coaches poll, a win over pitt dropped us one spot behind Utah, who shut out the Idaho State Bengals. Thanks pitt. Good riddance.
Actually not playing pitt is making room for Auburn, Virginia Tech, and West Virginia.
This is the perfect answer. I vividly remember great games between the two teams when both were big-time national-caliber programs. Then, a home-and-home series made all kinds of sense. Things change. Sayonara.
The Pitt boat has sailed and for some inexplicable reason it came back into port for a couple of seasons. Time to let it go back out to sea and sink to the depths.
As far as I am concerned Pitt lost their right to play Penn State when they jettisoned the chance to form a Big East football conference that included Penn State, because they were afraid of that. They can GFT (themselves). They got what they deserved.

Idiot?
One of the biggest problems I have with this board, and one of the primary reasons I left it for 5 months, was the continuing attacks on other posters simply because they might disagree with one's position. It debases the level of debate on the board.
As for my position on the topic, I am one who thinks we should never play Pitt again unless it is in a bowl game.
Agree...not sure why Penn State fans attack other Penn State fans. I’ve reacted poorly myself, but it’s usually in response to being insulted.
If a school has to make opposing fans purchase tickets to games it has no intention of attending just to support its lame athletic department, then in no circumstance should we schedule an away game with them.
Well now that got some attention. Sorry guys the Pitt Penn State game has everything needed for a rivalry.
Coaches who have a true hate towards one another
Close fan bases who hate on another
Historic programs
History between the two.
Now as one poster has stated yea keep the Idaho's and App state's ect its just not the same. And the arrogance that we as a Penn State fan base have is down right laughable. Pitt vs PSU was a Nationally televised game and always will be. So yea lets crank up the big rivalry with Purdue or Indiana or Iowa (Yawn) . Or opening games against GA State or NW Middle Tennessee state of Missouri ect ect. PSU and Pitt needs to stay

You do realize that Purdue, Indiana and Iowa are in our conference right? And if Pitt wants to play us at home every year we would gladly replace GA State or NE Middle Tenn State of Missouri with Pitt.
I do know that but playing those teams have zero flavor. Playing Buffalo, App State, GA State has zero flavor either
PSU needs 7 home games annually for financial reasons. Pitt helped put the kibosh on Paterno’s all Big East conference for selfish (financial) reasons—or wanted the lucrative gate as a result of playing at PSU every other year without giving up the lucrative Big East basketball conference money. When PSU joined the Big Ten and left Pitt on the outside looking in, overnight there was a “Big East” football conference with that long time “traditional” eastern team-Miami as the centerpiece
As others have pointed out, playing Pitt is a no win situation for PSU; it helps Pitt’s program immensely, but nothing for PSU (as evidenced by PSU dropping 1 spot in the coaches’ poll since it only best Pitt by 7 points)
I guess it’s okay for Pitt to look out for its best interests by killing the all sports Big East conference, but not okay for PSU to look out for its interests after joining the Big Ten
Despite the fact that 2 out every 3 games were played in Pittsburgh when the team’s first began playing and that Pitt hasn’t been relevant in football for decades, Pitt was “insulted” when PSU proposed playing 2 games out of 3 at Beaver Stadium as a way to keep the series going given its scheduling commitments
I have had season tickets since 1978 and attended many games when Pitt/PSU was a true rivalry and the games had national implications ever year. Pitt killed that; not Joe Paterno for you uneducated whiners. Pitt made its bed and now should sleep in it. You
