Pitt fans say the darndest things
- Thread starter mikemauti42
- Start date
Pitt better take a picture of the scoreboard before the start of the game because that is the only time the score will be tied!
And the Penn State beat writers still probably picked Ohio State as national champions.
Listened to 93.7 driving back from Washington pa today and I don't know who said it but right before a break one of those morons said "trevor Lawrence leads pre season ap all American teams as Penn state and west Virginia get shut out"
Lol at how they chose to lead the listeners...

OMG...I totally agree with a Pitt fan!! (Wash my mouth out with soap) The hot women threads HAVE been missing lately!!
Rutgersal has toned it down a lot.He seems to realize the inevitable will occur and another losing season is on the way.A lot of the posters over there are on a level with Pitt.Both teams hate the fact that PSU has been able to right the ship and their expected rise to beasts of the east went poof.
Pitt and Rutgers will be fighting it out all season long to be the “Least of the East”!
The thread on Petrishen is too much
I know what your point is .... BUT why are you upset and assuming he will earn playing time at Pitt ???? ...... and IF he does, at some point, earn playing time at Pitt, it may not be because our players suck but may mean that Petrishen would have been higher on the PSU depth chart without injuries ...... my guess is that Petrishen was brought in to help with special teams and add depth to the secondary ..... if he can do this as a non-scholarship player, it is a win for Pitt and if he contributes above this, it is a bigger win ..... if he never plays a down as a non-scholarship player, we have lost nothing ..... IMO, this move reflects very little on what the staff feels about our current safeties.
Petrishen was healthy enough to play special teams all of 2018, but from what we know coming out of Spring practice could not crack the 2-deep at Safety for PSU, and with Brisker arriving in the Summer chose to have shoulder surgery and look for a team where he had a better chance to play Safety during his last 2 years of eligibility. Pretty simple to understand.
Sorry pitt fans, yes it does say that Duzzy is trying to bring in talent to play Safety at pitt. Do they really believe Petrishen will stay the next 2 years without getting on scholarship? That he would leave PSU without a clear path to a scholarship on another team?
Petrishen is a Pittsburgh boy and I was rooting for him. But the fact is that he could not beat out Taylor, Wade, Sutherland, and now during the Summer, Brisker. And then chose to transfer for a chance to play. And yes, that is a reflection on the talent on the pitt roster. Sorry pitt boys...

From the article that I read.....Nardouche refused to answer the question if he was on scholarship.The thread on Petrishen is too much

It's a logical question for pitt reporters and fans.
But it's hard to believe that if Petrishen is healthy enough to play in 2019 that he would not be on scholarship.
Good luck to him. As he said on leaving, he has his PSU degree as well as the friendships he made at PSU, and will be a PSU letterman for life as well....
Nobody is really stating it this way, but why would he leave a PSU Scholarship on the table to walk on at Pitt? Not saying he didn't, but why would he? It appears he left in good standing, right?
No path for playing time at Penn State. Some guys just want to get on the field.
Peak is worthless himself.
Something may be useless, yet still has worth.
Worthless has no use, and no value, hence, Peak.
Yep, I believe he must really have a scholarship at pitt once he fully recovers and passes a physical. Probably why Duzzy would not answer the question yesterday about Petrishen being on scholarship. Duzzy also probably didn't want to upset all the "fans" in the Lair that don't want to offer scholarships to players that can't get PT at PSU, which would kill their fairy tale that the pitt roster is better than it is...
Another funny post in the Lair Petrishen thread floats the idea that Petrishen is a double agent and being sent to Pitt to get Duzzy's play book (which we know is empty
)..... The only upside to playing pitt is the "entertainment" that surfaces from their "fans"..........
I’m really gearing up for the season. If anyone’s interested, 1:38:40 of this podcast is a good analysis of our week 3 opponent.
Of course that is the case. At the time of the presser, Petrishen had not been cleared to practice nor had all of his "paperwork" completed.
Interesting comment about they don't know how Duzzy keeps his job given how he was supposed to turn pitt's defense into one like he had a Mich St and how mediocre pitt's defense has been ....
The other interesting thing for us in Pittsburgh to keep an eye on going forward is the fact that Mack Brown will likely bring UNC along, with Brown's 2020 recruiting class an indication of that so far. And pitt laments their losses to UNC so much that it will be fun to see them squirm as they continue to lose to UNC........
There are so many threads on the Lair right now about the new ACC tv channel that if you didn’t know better one would think that they just discovered fire.

Given the carriage agreements, or lack thereof, it's hardly as successful as people had hoped. It's doing better than PAC-12 nets due to signing with Directv, but most cable companies, and Dish, are pretty much unenthused. I live in Atlanta and Uverse has not picked it up and neither has the local cable providers. Streaming services seem to be on board though.
I live in Allegheny County and can't find it on Comcast. So far, Pitt's home opener with VA is not on a TV schedule that I can find. Broadcasters must know they can't compete with the Refucilo winery, Cadillac Jazz and Southside BBQ, not to mention Distillery Days.

Not to take away from how inferior a product the ACCN is to the BTN and SECN, when the SECN was introduced the carriage agreements for ESPN was up at the same time so ABC could strongarm carriers into taking SECN. They're selling ACCN standalone to most providers. That's not helping. Uverse carries the Longhorn Network but says no to ACCN. Uverse also dumped the PAC-12 nets, at least nationally. I'm not holding out much hope of seeing Pitt lose to Ohio, or at least the first hour of the game. At noon the real games will start and I'll be rooting for the Black Knights.
Things are sizzling at Pitt....they are thrilled that recruiting is soaring.....they are ranked 37. Pitt claims national championships and Rome once ruled the world. LOL
True, but at least it will be fun to check the score and see that they lost to Ohio!!!!

They’ll only be about a 7-point home favorite with a look ahead to PSU. Should be a good game
UVA is their first game, so Nardouchey wont have the luxury of playing a vanilla offensive game plan this year.

Whipple is their new OC. A vanilla offensive game plan is his game plan.
But he was using his Goggles Pisano pseudonym...
While the Liar's have been enjoying an all day circle jerk celebrating the Lynch law suit.....James Franklin lands a recruit the quality of which Pitt can only dream of...........
