Coach is straight trolling upitt at this point...
- Thread starter dwiz
- Start date
Trolling? I don't interpret it that way. Enthusiasm for recruiting the area while driving the point home with some good natured humor. Nothing wrong with that.
Coach and staff believes in the product they sell. Makes it easy and fun when it is from the heart. They are having the time of their lives. Good times ahead. FTG.
I don't consider it trolling it either. It is recruiting an important region. Trolling would be responding to pitt athletic supporters with pictures of empty Heinz Field while questioning the pitt gameday experience.
Wish we had one in the Orlando area. I have beento the one in Ft Lauderdale many times.
I used to take church members from Warren to Presbyterian Hospital near the University of Pittsburgh. That entire area is so gloomy that I am amazed any athlete would seriously consider living four years in the slums if other scholarships are available.

Oakland is far from a dump and not at all what you describe. Take the blue and white sunglasses off the next time you go.
I appreciate the shot at the Pitt fans, but let me go on record as saying I am not enamored with a Primanti's sandwich. It's OK, but nothing to get excited about.
It absolutely is a dump compared to State College.
Absolutely agree. I'll take a Roast Pork Sandwich from Tommy Di'nics (sp?) or any New York Deli Sandwich or slice over the over rated cholesterol dump that is Primanti's. Sorry not a fan at all.
Oakland's really not all that bad. The area around Presby is just typical medical campus architecture, and the buildings are really quite handsome in a very old-school sort of way. I don't know how you could call that area gloomy at all. If anything, the part of campus up by Presby, WPIC, and the Pete is pretty nice.
I'm sure you realize that psuguy04 is a troll and will always go against the grain with anything we discuss about PSU. He claims to be a "PSU guy", but he is telling you to take off the "blue and white sunglasses". Typical for him. Troll.
It's ironic... I don't find CJF's tweet to be "trolling" or inflamitory in any way, but you twisting it into an anti Pitt post is what I would consider trolling. When are you people going to let go of Pitt. They aren't our rival... they are a school and football program that happens to be located in prime recruiting territory. Nothing more or less. If you stop calling them out all of the time, maybe they will do the same and we'll have a touch more sanity in our world.
I don't think there will ever be sanity on the Lair, no matter what anybody does.
Can we ask Franklin to get Primanti to improve their menu for the State College location? Maybe they could offer a sub roll loaded with steak, cheese, onions and peppers. That sounds like it would be better than a greasy sandwich overloaded with sauces, cole slaw and flaccid french fries.
It's ok. I normally go when I'm in Pittsburgh, but I loved G-Man and it replaced that so kinda a black mark in my opinion. Nice recruiting post though, especially with all the H2P and group tweets the WPIAL kids have been doing lately. Karlo is spurring that though and he's a total d-bag masquerading as a reporter then actively recruiting kids to his school. Gotta be a violation.
Thank you, psuguy. His experience must have been long ago, when the factories were prevalent, because today Pittsburgh is one of the most beautiful and vibrant cities in the US. And, most of the ratings from various publications back that point.
The funny thing is that the 412crew, or whatever they call themselves, still have not had a single Pitt commit. They may end up with a few, but most of the good ones are going elsewhere. That recruiting class is just too bad, and their best commit of the 3 they have is just biding his time before he decommits and goes elsewhere. Good players want to be part of good classes.
They're getting a 0* S from Central Catholic tonight. Be a real embarrassment if he chooses someone else.

We've had the
This discussion has been beaten to death on this board. I like cheesesteaks, roast pork sandwiches, and Primanti Bros. sandwiches. Others don't. If they sucked so much there wouldn't be one in SC or Florida. As for overrated, when Primanti's gets a Michelin star, let me know

There are McDonald's and Burger Kings in SC and Florida also. What's your point?
All that may be true, it may be much nicer than Detroit. But compared to State College, it is a dump.
I didn't know Central had any zero stars this year. They seem to be completely loaded.
Who are you hearing?
They will never stop, they are obsessed lunatics. We are simply having easy fun at their expense. Just because you make fun of someone doesn't mean you are interested in them in any way.
I just realized that there is an embedded pic in the first thread. It was blocked by my work. Social media and file sharing sites are widely blocked by employers. There is no indication of a broken link or anything. I had just assumed that the text was edited out for some reason.
For those who can't see it, the tweet reads: We are so committed to recruiting the #412 that we convinced @primantibros to open a spot in Happy Valley! #WeAre

Sorry, no disrespect to State College intended, but I've been there, and there is no comparison to Pittsburgh as a whole. Your college experience may have been great, and it is a nice college town, but I'm talking about as an overall experience and opportunities to thrive.

I screwed up multiple details, my bad (found this out late last night when I couldn't sleep)
Bricen Garner is announcing tomorrow night not tonight, but he is expected to select Pitt. He is actually a 2016 prospect which is why he has no stars yet. Also, long way to go to keep him if and when he does get ranked.
Now the producer for the same station (of which I am not familiar is saying that someone else could announce).
Apparently this guy is a Pitt fan boy. someone in Pittsburgh is going to need to provide me some context of this buffoon. When Googled I did find out this about him from last year: http://thisisgettingold.net/2014/03...ranklins-tweets-still-follows-him-on-twitter/
Yeah, Vukovcan is a complete Pitt homer. He pretty much sets the tone at that station regarding coverage. He is by all accounts a complete ass.
By his offer sheet, looks like Garner is a MAC level prospect.

It's early for a 2016 recruit who is not a sure fire 4* or 5*, so you never know, but yea at this point it is not a huge get, minus the buzz he can put in his teammates ear. Which Central has like 7 or 8 future D1 guys starting this year.
Well, isn't everybody a 2016 prospect at this point? He's going to be a senior.
On that team he's one of the lesser lights, because as we both have said, Central is just loaded for next year. They are going to stomp on every WPIAL team without question.
I don't get the impression that he's going to have anybody following him to Pitt. The Pitt people seem to think that Wheeler had a really good visit, but if he wanted to commit to the home town team, he could have done it by now. Central is literally a few blocks from the middle of the Pitt campus, so those kids know what they are getting into. In fact, I wonder if it hurts Pitt to some degree, that they are so close to the high school. Some kids might just want to get a different experience than just moving two blocks up the street.

I'm from western PA originally and spend a lot time in Pittsburgh. As cities with career opportunities, no, there is no comparison between SC and Pittsburgh, especially with Pittsburgh becoming more of a tech center - Google, Apple, Uber, etc all setting up shop there. As college experiences go, if you want the huge college with first class facilities, a beautiful campus, great school spirit, and a great student life, Penn State is hard to beat. If you prefer a more urban experience, than Pitt is a good choice. Point is, you are only an 18-22 year old college undergrad once, so which experience do you prefer for those four short years?
Wow, I can't get anything right today....
You are correct he is a Sr. and that means he is a MAC level prospect who will likely finish a 0 or 2* recruit. For some reason I forgot that the class of 2016 was this years class. Too much multi tasking going on.
What I find more interesting is that some of the WPIAL guys who are all real close now are going to be competing against each other hard this fall and maybe won't be as close after they start losing to each other.
Stop doing drugs sir!
Have you seen the crime statistics for Oakland & the surrounding area??
