Dismissed PSU DT Cam Carter is transferring to Pitt

[21Guns]

Who were those two teams? Clemson and Duke



This sounds very so familiar. GN!

No it doesn't. Nobody said jack about last years' game. We're talking about THIS years game...the one with 9 of our 11 starters back on offense and 8 of our starters back on defense. The one at Beaver stadium against an immobile qb and a defense that loses half of it's players.

The one in which Lamont Wade will play in, haha.

Maybe if he took a dump in your Beamer you might not feel the same way

Would you care to explain this post please. Did I miss something?

So you predicted 11-3? Overly talented! Really? Top recruiting classes? Top 25 classes not top 10. Plus all the bitching and moaning last recruiting cycle because of the late de-commitments. Suspect offense line, new QB, new OC, and new DC. Stop trippin, there where plenty of question mark for Penn State coming into the season. If we are going to talk football you need to keep it real! Last season was definitely lightning in a bottle. Now if you go 11-3 next season I would say it would be expected.

Lightning in a bottle implies luck...there was no luck to last season. And when Pitt gets anywhere near a top 25 recruiting class, let us know. You know damn well you would trade where Pitt is at for where PSU is at in a heart beat and if you say you wouldn't, you're lying.

Good points on NW and Pitt. Bad point on Franklin. People trying to force out Franklin after the Michigan game were not being irrational. Up until then what he was 3 years on the job and not showing any forward progress. He was well into his fourth year before he had his signature win. That's hardly being irrational! Don't look now but the bar is set high. That is to say, the standard is where it should be. Let's hope Franklin can keep it up lest the "irrational" among us come back out... in droves. That's what happens when you have high standards. If you can't handle the heat then go root for Pitt. I thank you.

I disagree totally. It was irrational. This was only his third season with most of the roster not his recruits. A qb not in the mold of what he likes and an offensive line woefully short of top level talent. Not to mention a sanction shorted roster. It's crazy to think that his firing could even be thought about.

Okay, you don’t know much about Northwestern if you think simply saying they were 6-6 is stating that’s a bad team. They lost 2 games they shouldn’t have early in the season. Thorson improved significantly as the year went on. Justin Jackson and Anthony Walker Jr are two of the best players at their respective positions. Austin Carr always finds a way to get open. Northwestern played very well against Nebraska, Ohio State & Wisconsin. The Minnesota loss was bad though. Losing a meaningless bowl game to another well-coached team is hardly a negative.

Giving up 61 to Syracuse is unacceptable and Pitt is still a work in process. We all know that. Being unable to give Narduzzi credit though is just kind of pathetic. They beat 2 teams that finished in the top 5 including the fact they were the only team to knock of Clemson. They should have beat UNC this year. People should allow coaches time to develop and build their teams. Just like people trying to force out Franklin after the Michigan game were being irrational. Not comprehending that Narduzzi has Pitt on a good path is just ignorant. He probably won’t be at Pitt all that long but he’s doing a good job. Just because we don’t like Pitt doesn’t mean you can’t accurately evaluate them.

Very true. However, they were upset about playing Northwestern, and thought they would kill them. You know, because the B1G is so overrated and all. So, they aren't exactly on the up and up themselves. The same folks that were calling for Narduzzi's head, and for the benching of Connor this past season. It's fan bases in general, and Internet coaches that never played.

Pitt had turnover too and won the game with no sign of a down field passing game. Again trying to rationalize the loss. Bottom line is on that day Pitt was the better team. We'll see how things unfold next season. For as bad as Pitt's D was last year they only loss big to Miami. Every game was close.

It's sad that you feel the need to come here and rationalize Pitt's 2 lucky wins in an otherwise mediocre season. 8-5 is reality, you need to come to terms with it! You can come here and cling to those lucky wins all you want, but 8-5 is not going to change. A bowl loss to NW is not going to change. The future looking dim for Pitt is not going to change.

Situation reminds me of a few years back when Miami cut a recruit because they found out he never graduated from high school. Pitt took the kid in with open arms. pitt is so obsessed with being a decent football program that they will take anyone regardless of circumstances. They have no standards or ethics.

Little brother, thanks for coming by to visit. Can't blame you for wondering what big brother has been up to. We know you just can't stay away.

Their fans aren't any better. So many of them took joy in the fact that an ex-PSU employee assaulted some kids, they still try to use it to make PSU look bad... because of football.

I'm concerned about the effect of discipline on our team. Now our guys know that if they screw up, they can still get a full scholarship at Pitt.

Very true. This could be an attempt by Narduzzi to sabotage our program. If a player drinks too much and gets out of shape, pitt will take him. If a player doesn't study and gets lousy grades, pitt will take him. If a player robs a bank or shoplifts, pitt will take him. Since Narduzzi is a horrific recruiter this is a way for pitt to pick off some of our best recruits. Next pitt will be sending cretins to State College to entice our players to get into trouble so that Narduzzi can snatch them away. I think you have this figured out, lionlurker. Good job.

I think you are looking at this in the wrong way. Screw up... off to Pitt with you! That would be the greatest deterrent in the history of CFB.

Yeah, I believe we're pretty much on the same page here.

Those Pitt fans, like many Penn State fans, don't actually follow the sport as a whole. Anyone that thought Northwestern was going to get killed by Pitt isn't a true fan of the sport. Picking Pitt to win would have fine but Northwestern's offense is too talented not to move the ball well against Pitt's defense.

As you know, the B1G being overrated is largely incorrect and perceived because the B1G had to play up in most bowl games. Penn State and Michigan played extremely well. Ohio State's failure to show up really, really helped people push their agenda.

I get why people are criticizing Narduzzi for failing to win 9+ given the state of the Coastal Division but Pitt is performing well for what is reasonable to be expected at Pitt. Kind of like when people think Ferentz or Pat Fitzgerald aren't good coaches. Iowa & Northwestern aren't going to dominate. They'll have solid year and maybe once in a while a great year but they're going to remain a mid-level BIG program. Just like Pitt can became a steady solid performer in the ACC and probably win a weak division from time to time. Unless Richt gets Miami on a roll.

Narduzzi CAN coach--doesn't mean he's elite. I believe he's an excellent coach for Pitt at this time. I also believe he won't be there long. I also believe many here don't like him simply because of his recruiting tactics but that's just an opinion.

 

[lionlurker]

Nobody in the Big Ten liked him because he was an asshole. That's the extent of it. He still is, but because Pitt isn't in the Big Ten, you don't realize this. It's not just us, dude. The whole conference knows he's a prick.

Lower your expectations....that will work.
