Duzzi needs to keep playing with himself.
What are things a former rival coach says when he is consistently losing most every recruiting battle in his own backyard?
Because it is a huge boost for Pitt. Financially, image, recruiting and more.I don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game. Taking the business side out of it, it’s a game any true Pennsylvanian will want to watch. Everyone loathes the whole “I hate how bastardized college football is”. Then in the same breath, “ugh why help them with their brand and their finances”. If you love football, who gives a shit.
No hate...I don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game. Taking the business side out of it, it’s a game any true Pennsylvanian will want to watch.

Ask yourself why PSU doesn't play Kutztown. The answer is the same.I don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game.

I'd rather watch an interesting competitive game against a legit SEC school yearlyI don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game.

WVU usually sells out home games, they are consistently better than Pitt. W Virginia is not a recruiting hotbed.You guys are nuts. It’s a classic rivalry game and I get stupid answers like Kutztown. We should just scratch ever playing non conference games unless they are FCS or above us in prestige based on that logic. Why help West Virginia either for that matter?
Because it would get boring crushing them every year.I don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game.

Stop living in the past. You will feel better.You guys are nuts. It’s a classic rivalry game and I get stupid answers like Kutztown.

Once upon a time, Amos Alonzo Stagg coached The University of Chicago to 2 National Championships before the university axed the football program and then left the Big10. The point is that things change. Pitt used to be a football power. Pitt/PSU WAS a classic rivalry.You guys are nuts. It’s a classic rivalry game and I get stupid answers like Kutztown.

They desperately need to sell out one game and force people to buy season tickets.
Guess I’m not a true PennsylvanianI don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game. Taking the business side out of it, it’s a game any true Pennsylvanian will want to watch.

Maybe we should play Lehigh to avenge our worse loss ever?You guys are nuts. It’s a classic rivalry game and I get stupid answers like Kutztown.

And their fan base is vile we don’t want to be contaminated by them.I think true Penn State fans don’t want to play ASWP because they know that by not playing them we’re ruining their chance to make money. Go eff yourself school from Oakland
This is obviously a very unpopular opinion but I’m with you. If a MAC team gives us a scare in September you will read all of the same types of scheduling complaints here anyway.I don’t understand all the hate for making this an annual game.

No idea--we shouldn't be playing WVU--it's a wasteYou guys are nuts. It’s a classic rivalry game and I get stupid answers like Kutztown.

And a competitor who stabbed you in the back.Because it is a huge boost for Pitt. Financially, image, recruiting and more.
Why help a competitor?
Probably only take 40 years to make it even.This gets rehashed by a Pitt fan every year at least once. PSU needs home games. That is why they need to play the MAC level teams of the world. PSU is currently rotating in old eastern “rivals” each year. WVU now. Temple and Syracuse in future years. Pitt fans hate this line, but they can always agree to play at PSU every game.
Must be that time of year for the annual whining by Pitt
Pitt is basically a MAC school so what does that have to do with this thread?This is obviously a very unpopular opinion but I’m with you. If a MAC team gives us a scare in September you will read all of the same types of scheduling complaints here anyway.
Pitt needs to do something to generate buzz around their program, and they're going to need help. This year's schedule consists of WVU in WVU in mid-September, Clemson in mid-November, and ten games that will draw little interest outside the respective teams' fan bases. I don't fault Narduzzi for trying, but the need to talk about a team they're not playing tells you where they stand as a program.
How many games did, "Who" win last year? Two against Ncaa teams and 1 against Wofford. Yeah they're competitive. Hahahaha 😆Who??
A lot of PS fans want that game every year, but PS wouldn't gain anything from playing them. We already cherry pick the players we want from that area. Playing sPitt would not be like going into VA NC SC or Fl if we were playing teams from those states and recruiting there.
Haha I hear you.Pitt is basically a MAC school so what does that have to do with this thread?
