You won't find less of a Pitt homer than me. Is Penn State more of a player than Pitt on the national scene? Absolutely. Has your recruiting been better? Yep.
All I argued was that the people on this board have an incredibly skewed vision as to just where Penn State football stands/has stood in recent years.
And you'll have to explain to me (I only received that second-best school in Oakland education) how having the #50 recruiting class - which we don't have, although we may end up somewhere near there due to taking a smaller class laden with less skilled positions - is any type of barometer as to how the "college football world" views our program.
Tell you what, I'll admit that many of us look at Penn State through rose colored glasses--shocking for fans to do that, I know--if you'll admit that as a Pitt fan you are actually intellectually incapable of acknowledging that Penn State is a true blue-blood of college football and that it operates at a completely different level than Pitt and hence any judgment of Penn State that you render is skewed because on your preconceived bias. Deal?
