You’re on a roll today.They should just leave the guy alone, whatever nonsense he’s describing is better than the actual game if truth be told.

It’s Pittsburgh....you know, where Myron Cope had a career in broadcasting.We tuned in to the Pitt game (SiriusXM) on the way back to Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Observations:
Bill Hillgrove needs retired immediately. He makes glaring mistakes on every series and has to be corrected by Pat Bostick or the producer in his ear.
He is simply awful and makes the broadcast unlistenable.
I feel for Bostick, who not only has to concentrate on doing his job well, but has to pick up Hillgrove constantly.
If he was to listen back to his performance I’m sure he’d reach to same conclusion. Time to hang up the headphones.
Ah, The Lair...don't see the funnies in the paper anymore...the lair fills the void.Bed time entertainment:

Agree on this for sure. I’ve been a fan of Bill Hillgrove for along time, mainly from being the Steelers lead radio announcer ~ Tunch Ilkin/Craig Wolfley have been covering him & correcting him often the past few years. There comes a time when it’s time to give it up and theres no doubt it’s time for Billy Hillgrove.We tuned in to the Pitt game (SiriusXM) on the way back to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

So true Mike. Absolutely maul them. I think they feel refs will only call a couple. It’s crazy how bad they interfere.Pitt literally interferes anytime the ball is in the air. Just mauled a guy. No call
Hillgrove is a great guy and lives a modest lifestyle. He truly is a class act. Sadly he is up there in years and his best broadcasting days are behind him. All the same his voice behind Pitt and the Steelers is an identity. When he decides to move on it will be a sad day.Agree on this for sure.

That’s fine, but obviously he would have been better to read than listen to.AWS, normally I click 'like' on your posts but not this time kind sir.
Myron Cop, back in the day when being a journalist had something to do with being a proficient writer, was indeed one of the very, very best. SI can vouch for that.
Separate his voice from his ability nd you got a top notch sports journalist sir.

Cope’s voice was very distinctive but he was quite good at his vocation. And, as stated above, he was an exceptional journalist.
Poor Billy, he is truly a class act but his mistakes are way too frequent.
If you think Hillgrove is a “ class act,” you truly do not know him.Exactly!
Nobody could come close to writing like Myron did back in the day!
'ArtsandLetters' would have loved this guy!!

Adding fuel to the fire, when they refer to Penn State on their threads, they speak of the "Pedophile front 7," and the " Ped D. "I think we need a running thread for the funny things Pitt fans say
I'll start
In response to Pitt landing a 5.6 3 star
But at least Pitt is 7th in compliance.

The use of that word is more a reflection on them than it is us.Adding fuel to the fire, when they refer to Penn State on their threads, they speak of the "Pedophile front 7," and the " Ped D. "
LOL!The use of that word is more a reflection on them than it is us.
Picket and McSwirly are not even remotely in the same universe. Anyone with 2 eyeballs can see that Pickett is talent wise head and shoulders above that poser from the cesspool.
You have to give them credit though...even as they lose, they still think they will beat us. Even if they lose to Ohio this week, they will be sure they will beat us. They ignore recruiting and feel that winning is just about wanting it...the poor, delusional little souls.Lots of good material right now. I love the suffering of the pitt panthers. Tell some more child rape jokes while you lose, you miserable swine.

It's really difficult, at least for me, to distinguish between the legit posters and the trolls on that site.You have to give them credit though...even as they lose, they still think they will beat us.

Beautiful! Nice work! LOL.It just sets them up for more suffering, which I endorse. I want to crush these people and squeeze out that last little bit of hope, like the last dollop in a rolled up old tube of Preparation H.
Assholes.

Absolutely.
If you have to resort to making jokes about sexual assault to insult your sports rival, you have serious issues. Particularly when one considers not a single player or coach on this Penn State team had anything to do with Sandusky (and no Penn State player EVER committed any such assault).
Their program has fallen to the point where they only get satisfaction by rooting against Penn State. How pathetic. But I guess when you have one 10-win season in 36 years, this is how you approach sports.
I tell you what, there are some classic delusional stuff in that thread. Not just McSorley, but that Barkley sucks too. Even now, they believe that Pickett would be a better QB if he had a competent OC. A more delusional fan base does not exist.
I have heard this firsthand from a guy I used to work with. I proposed the same scenario you mentioned and he said "of course I would take beating psu and losing the rest" I then said it wouldn't mean psu also lost the rest of the games, they would still probably win at least 8 and then his dumb ass said, "no if that's our only win psu would have to lose all the others"Most PSU fans would rather that PSU lose the Pitt game if it meant winning all the others (including the conference championship) and making the playoff.

PSU lives rent free in their heads. Waking up every morning is their own private hell.
