Pitt fans say the darndest things

[PSU87]

Then PSU shouldn’t schedule any team OOC that is an underdog with lesser talent that they recruit against and whose fans chant "Penn State sucks" duringlike Temple, Akron, etc. Pitt, at least, is an in-state game with much interest, with a chance to win.

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.

Let's summarize....in your last few posts you:
1. Admitted there's no upside in this series for Penn State.
2. Admitted that for Penn State, losing to Pitt would be like losing to Temple or Akron.

Yup, you're pretty much done and should be moving along. You've said everything that needs to be said

At least GT is realistic and knows Pitt’s place in college football unlike @HailToPitt725 who is as delusional as they come

 

[LurkerLazarus]

Everybody pays attention to failing regimes, just to see what happens next. Sort of like Venezuela.

 

[odshowtime]

I read that Venezuela has pirates now.

 

[AldenT]

That may be a while, since it appears that Penn State fans pay more attention to Pitt than they’d want to admit.

I still remember fondly the post last year from you here, about the real buzz around the program and how excited everyone was, how Narduzzi was the real deal...4-8 and now stealing recruits from James Madison. People falling asleep at your games.

You’ll probably give us a game. Steal one from someone you shouldn’t. And still lose 5 or 6, and be back for more next year with 10 of your closest friends.

Straight up love you guys. Just bottomless little brother nonsense. Don’t ever change.

 

[mikemauti42]

Don’t think I’m too delusional now, I only spelled “he” instead of “be” because of the tiny keyboard

I think it’s cute that you think Pitt has a chance and look at who Penn State has to replace when you’re replacing some of the only players on your team that were worth anything. Maddox, Whitehead, Henderson, O’neil. The difference is Penn State is replacing their players with 4/5 star talent that has been waiting in the wings and pitt is replacing theirs with Narduzzi’s recruiting misses

That pitt buzz occurs every year at this time and every year it just seems “different”. Then the ball gets kicked off and all hell breaks loose on Pantherlair.

Example posts in a few weeks
-this D was overrated from the beginning
-I’m done with Narduzzi
-it’s Patti time. Pickett stinks
-fire Narduzzi

Pitt fans are the gift that keeps on giving

 

[mikemauti42]

What is your username on the Lair, since you took the time to screenshoot a post from inside the paywall?


4-8? 5-7 with a win against the #2 team in the country in the season finale. And that recruit we stole from JMU? Now ranked as a 4 star. If that’s what happens when we “poach” FCS schools, I say we keep on doing it

My name on the lair is ChetheJet

A 4 star with one other power 5 offer. Come on man who references ESPN rankings. He can’t even get an offer from Maryland

 

[diggerpup]

@HailToPitt725 who is as delusional as they come

WUT ???

 

[mikemauti42]

WUT ???

You’d swear Vegas, who is pretty good at what they do, was predicting pitt to win 9 games. Nope, they are predicting 5.5

It feels like their fanbase lives in bizarro world. The recruiting is pitiful. The team is regressing. Drafted Chryst talent is leaving and being replaced by grad transfers and 5th year Dlineman playing oline, yet there is “buzz” everywhere.

Never underestimate how desperate a coaching staff and those around the program will get to sell the program when it’s fading. The problem is eventually you have to face reality and that’s coming shortly

 

[Roar More]

I read that Venezuela has pirates now.

Just like Pittsburgh.

 

[mikemauti42]

So it's okay to reference stars when they benefit you, but noi

C'mon, Mike. Using Vegas as an indicator? I'm sure you were singing the same tune in 2016 when Penn State went to the Rose Bowl after predicting them to win 6.5 games.

Penn State has legit 4 stars with legit offers. You don’t want to compare recruiting

Ok how about basically every prognosticator that has predicted them to win 5-6. See Feldman, Bruce today. The only reason for optimism is the fact that games have not been played.

They will struggle with Albany and say it’s because they’re not showing anything for the Penn State game. Then PSU will crush them but it won’t be by enough for them to think it was a butt whipping. Then by about game four or five the bitching will start.

 

[marshall23]

A 5-7 team simply doesn't have talent to replace. Teams that win in double digits will always have great players to replace. This is a function of recruiting.....and that's the rest of the story.

On another matter, I notice that much of the confidence for a Pitt victory over PSU (on the Lair) centers on the fact that PSU lost a great running back. I must have missed when that tune changed over there?

Here's an interesting thought. Suppose Pitt beats PSU. Which team would you lay money on to have a better SEASON?

 

[mikemauti42]

2016, I was concerned about the Pitt game at Heinz. Pitt was a veteran, experienced team with great senior leadership, a veteran qb, pass rushing threat, great RB, a big talented oline, and they were playing for Connor. Penn State was a young team with talent but a first year qb making his first road start. After the first 20 minutes, penn State dominated that game

They will dominate this one from start to finish because of a veteran qb, veteran oline, veteran Dline, and better talent at the skill positions

Agreed. Also, Pitt fans have created the legend of upset in that game. They were the favorites for all the reasons you explained above.

Jesus dude. Yeah sorry, 5-7. Way to go.

You get a keychain win every year to smooth over the 5-plus losses and nobody recruits. Free beverage for this one!

 

[aalion]

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.

When Akron and Temple start thinking they can demand home-and-home vs PSU, we won't be playing them either. It is simple math. PSU will have 7 home games every year. With 9 conference games, every other year there will only be 4 BIG conference home games. Therefore 3 non-con home games in those years. Which means there is only room for 1 non-con road game every 2 years. Wasting it on Pitt, is, a waste.

 

[mikemauti42]

Yes. Pitt opened that game as 9 point favorites. It dropped to 3 prior to the game.

This game started at 13. I am not sure where it is now, but I love Penn States matchups all over the field

 

[diggerpup]

This 2018 game will be the result when you match up waves of athletic players + a 3-yr starting QB.

vs

a bunch of passed over, stiff, slow WPIAL kids with a few FLA kids who weren’t even the 10th best player on their own HS team.


Final score will be dependent on a few bounces & inches - but the “eye test” will be clear as day.

The resident genius over there, President Stache, often opined that Barkley was extremely overrated. If only the NFL could have hired him to help with player evaluations, the NY Giants could have saved themselves a lot of money.

 

[diggerpup]

Also hilarious that Pitters are pointing at the loss of Barkley as “Hope”:


Meanwhile, the Pitters would have given their left kidney for a Miles Sanders commitment.

 

[mikemauti42]

The funny thing about the 2016 game was the only reason Pitt won is because penn State played without 3 lbs and struggled playing positional defense early. After the first qtr, pitt has a kickoff return and little else

 

[Pittston-Lion]

Yes. Pitt opened that game as 9 point favorites. It dropped to 3 prior to the game.

Currently-13.5

 

[pandaczar12]

Single game tickets must have arrived today. Suddenly there are a lot more seats in the PSU section listed on stubhub

Interest is definitely down from 2 years ago. Evidence I was correct when I said that the series is a novelty. It would not be a consistent big draw if played every year.

C'mon, Mike. Using Vegas as an indicator? I'm sure you were singing the same tune in 2016 when Penn State went to the Rose Bowl after predicting them to win 6.5 games.

The only rankings anyone should use is the 247 Composite. Sorry Rivals. It takes into account Rivals, ESPN, and 247. It uses the most information. If anyone is citing anything other than the 247 Composite they are cherry picking the one they want to use. A matter of fact, Rivals and ESPN should both switch to a composite as well, that takes into account the other services.

Just a comment: The guy who calls himself President Stache is so full of sh*t, the stink is coming out of his ears. I cannot stomach that idiot.

Same for that piece of rat filth mbe34. That loser should have an L tattooed on his forehead.

 

[mikemauti42]

95% of Pitt’s fanbase are morons. You can look back to August of last year and there are the same idiotic posts predicting 9-10 wins. At least last year, they were coming off of a decent season for Pitt standards. This season the return a large chuck of garbage on the oline, first year qb, and limited talent at WR, no talent at TE.

Their defense returns the same garbage that finished 69th in the nation minus their 2 best players from it.

Their board will be delightful this season

Hey pitt I read today that you don't respect PSU or PSU fans. What's up with that? Why are you here acting like Mr. Cool when you've said you don't respect us?

I have you on ignore here because I think you're full of crap and that should be that, but then I read this nonsense. I google "panther liar" when I need a laugh and there you are talking schmack.

Ya he is a delusional moron like the others. The fact is I could create an account, post anything positive about Penn State, and would be banned within minutes.

I want him to stick around because he will be fun to laugh at around 9 pm sept 8th.

I’m hoping we don’t miss a beat with Sanders. I can agree Pitt maybe an underrated team. The bottom line is this game will be played on the field and I can’t wait to see it.

 

[JohnnyZang]

i can't believe the most popular penn state thread is about pitt and has 2,263 posts. What the ****. Who cares about pitt. OSU is our rival.

 

[mikemauti42]

@HailToPitt725 tried talking football on this board but when people presented him facts instead of fanboy cheerleading that Chris Peak provides he ran back to Pitt’s board with his tail between his legs. Poor guy actually thinks this is a promising year for Pitt and he can’t respect PSU. Why is he allowed to post here? Comical relief?

I have a long time HS buddy who is a Pitt fan. He’s harmless, but a total delusional moron.

Last August, he predicted 8-4 and “if the USC 5* QB transfer hits his potential, maybe 10-2 if we beat Oklahoma State”.

That is there entire fanbase in August. As soon as they get any camp info about any guy doing well against any guy from their team, the delusion goes off the tracks

It's like Okie State dominated pitt so badly that now that QB and WR live in Pittsburgh and use their training facilities and stadium and everything. I've never seen such an owning.

Pitt fan nightmares:
