Don’t worry. They’ll still be the best 5-7 team in the history of college football.
In fairness, they are one of the top 165 in the country.
They're on work release
But others are answering him as if Pickett really does have a chance. He wouldn’t even be the Heisman winner for the state’s of PA and WV.

I'm looking forward to the annual Thursday night pitt home game. That is always good for a few yuks. Like yakity-sax level yuks. Hopefully their precious PSU night game doesn't preclude another thirsty Thursday party in Pittsburgh.
I think what happens when you do not have a good program is that you look for the slightest bit of optimism and over exaggerate it. It seems to happen often with Pitt but makes it more enjoyable watching their fanbase self destruct
Pitt fans celebrate whenever their stopped watches show the correct time.
But when does your watch say it’s 1976 again?
H2P vs MikeMauti:
The 800lb elephant in the room while discussing Pitt D vs PSU D is TEAM SPEED.
PSU offense has skill guys with major separation all game last year - if McSorley wasn’t jumpy on so many passes, PSU was hanging 45+.
Pitt D returns 9 starters. Sure. Great.
Most of them run around the field in space like they are wearing concrete boots & full diapers.
Meanwhile:
Pitt has zero OL and zero playmakers. PSU D may be green but still will be faster than anything Pitt’s O can deal with. Good luck w that, Kenny Keystone.
Not everyone is on the same page

I think this year will tell us a lot. We have a veteran OL. If they play well, then we will have a good year. If the OL is bad, then that does not bode well for this year and the future. IMO we need to go at least 7-6 or better.
Our OL is the weakest part of our team

The talent, recruiting, coaching, and program can be debated by the respective loyalists all day long. That's par for any fanbase. But, the reality is this: PSU recruits better, has more talent, and is considered a top program. Most Pitt fans realize this. However, the game is played on the field, without consideration of the above. PSU will be favored to win, and should win with the talent they have accumulated with their recruiting. Pitt really has nothing to lose. They are supposed to lose. If PSU wins handily, it was expected. If Pitt wins or plays close, it is a bonus for the program, and fans. If Pitt wins, coaching should get the credit for winning with lesser talent, and could be in for a good season. If PSU wins, they are on course for a shot at the B1G championship. Makes sense, doesn't it?
You've just summed up why there is no benefit in this series for PSU.
Thank you.
College Football Focus has rated the ACC Coastal as the 8th strongest conference ........Big Ten East 1. Only 9 in P5 football.
Thanks for explaining in a nutshell why it is stupid for us to play Pitt. At least you seem to understand the frivolity of it, so please spread the word on your board in between your slurs of all things PSU.
If Pitt were to win, it might very easily have NOTHING to do with the Pitt coaching staff.
It could be some lucky bounces, it could be some fluke plays, it could be some bad officiating, it could be PSU self-destructing, it could be some bad coaching calls by PSU’s coaches. Maybe even a combination of all the above. But Pitt pulling an upset wouldn’t automatically mean credit should go to the Pitt coaching staff.
That said, Pitt’s coaching staff could / should get credit (whether they win OR lose) if the team comes in prepared, plays clean, plays smart and plays hard.

What I love is that Pitt could come in and do all of those things and still get thumped by 3 scores or more. These teams are not on the same level.

When PSU went on sanctions, Pitt should have been favored in all four games of this series. But Pitt couldn't capitalize. That is all you need to know about the potential of the program. Winning wasn't a bonus two years ago other than the keychains of course because recruiting got better for PSU and worse for Pitt. I used to think that Pitt needed this game. But now I realize that the big picture for Pitt will not change even if they win the last two games of this series. Unlike many here, I will root for Pitt in the other games. But Vegas has you at 5.5 wins for a reason.
Unless McSorle has a horrible game im assuming PSU has an easy victory here. He is Pitts bestchance to keep it close. He's not always that good on the road. PSU's weakness on D is new Safetys and LB's. The DL and CB's could be among the best in the country.
Hey now. The best 5-7 team in the history of college football was the 2007 Pitt team which beat WVU. Some schmuck even wrote a book about it. 13-7 forever!!!
Pitt may enter the game prepared and they may play hard. OTOH, given who their head coach is I'm not sure if they'll play smart or clean.
Then PSU shouldn’t schedule any team OOC that is an underdog with lesser talent, like Temple, Akron, etc. Pitt, at least, is an in-state game with much interest, with a chance to win.
In-state game with much interest? Outside of Pittsburgh area I don't see it. Everyone I talk to is very happy to pick up other teams. PSU is on the right path with their program and their scheduling and I believe you know it. Locking into a long-term series with anyone would not be smart. Two more years and the PSU and Pitt fans near Pittsburgh can hopefully let it go.
So you consider yourself on the same level as Akron and Temple - little hard on yourself aren’t you.
That’s wrong...when you schedule a P5 team, it has to be one that moves the dial if you win...the non P5 games are fillers.
No, I don't feel that way. I was just saying that if you guys feel that is a reason for you not to play then the same applies to Akron, Temple, etc. You guys feel superior, and losing to Pitt is humiliating. It would be the same with a loss to Temple or Akron, even though I feel there is less chance of it. Pitt, despite its poor recruiting in your eyes, was good enough to beat PSU, and Clemson in the national championship year, and undefeated Miami last year. Even though I admit that PSU has recruited better and is a better program presently, there is a place for the game. There is great interest in it, is an easy away game to attend, and has more impact than many of the OOC games that are scheduled. I won't lose sleep over the discontinuation, especially since Pitt picked up W Va, but it was great while it lasted. Leaving now, catch you guys again someday.
Translation: guys, I just said a bunch of things I know deep down aren’t true and I’m afraid to read the responses to them
Virginia Tech, Auburn, and WVU are all games I’m more excited for than Pitt. If it was 1985, pitt would be fun, but each of those programs has far surpassed pitt this century. Pitt has become a Rutgers, Maryland, Indiana type program. I know you don’t want to hear it, but it’s true
In the spirit of your handle.....if Pitt can play Albany.....PSU should host Bucknell.
Presently? You had a 7 year run like 40 years ago. Just stop.
