Pitt fans say the darndest things

Who knew..... Sean Miller Fan opines on Trace.
"Not Heisman caliber? Ummmm......duh! He's a good QB, not as good as Pickett. He does have a knack for clutch drives. Though it helps he has better players than the team he is playing against nearly every week."

Oh, look....captain cut-and-paste is back.
Jerot.....do you have any original thoughts of your own?
Is there anyone with more astute observations than this guy? Pitt beats Albany and look out. VT goes into Tallahassee and destroys Fla St...they stink
Dokish does have some interesting thoughts on the Pitt OL .
Windsor should have no problems-
Last season's offensive line was mostly above average, even after losing all-conference players Adam Bisnowaty and Dorian Johnson the year before. And now with early NFL entrant Brian O'Neill, and long time veteran Alex Officer, moving on, every lineman from the very good offensive line of two years ago is now gone, except 6'6" 315 pound redshirt senior Alex Bookser, who will return to start at guard. Bookser missed the beginning of last season because of a suspension, but he needs to be on the field and have a good year for the offensive line to also have a good year. Physically, he's capable of turning into an all-star player in his last go around.
At the tackle position, there will be two new starters, and both will also probably be players that are new to the team. At left tackle, the starter will be 6'5" 305 pound redshirt senior Stefano Millin, a graduate transfer from Kent State, unless something very unexpected happens. He's coming from a poor team, but he has the potential to be drafted in the NFL with a good year. At the very least, he should be serviceable. At right tackle, the favorite to start will be 6'5" 310 pound redshirt junior Chase Brown, a junior college transfer that is strong and has quick feet. If he makes the transition to full-time starter, the tackle position should at least be solid.
Opposite Bookser at guard could be one of many different possibilities. The candidates include 6'4" 310 pound redshirt senior Mike Herndon, 6'4" 310 pound redshirt sophomore Bryce Hargrove, 6'6" 350 pound redshirt sophomore Justin Morgan, 6'5" 310 pound redshirt sophomore Brandon Ford, 6'6" 280 pound redshirt freshman Gabe Houy, and 6'5" 325 pound redshirt freshman Carter Warren.
Herndon is a veteran that has played at defensive tackle last year, too. He projects as an average starter, at best. Warren, who is naturally huge, and Houy, probably won't be ready to start this season. The best hopes may come from Hargrove, Ford, or Morgan, but Morgan has yet to play a game, and Hargrove and Ford have each played just one game. So, needless to say, this is a very questionable area until at least one of them shows they are capable of being a quality starter.
Warren and Houy could also play at tackle, but the main reserve there should be 6'5" 315 pound redshirt freshman Jerry Drake, who the staff thought was capable of playing last year if he had to. With Millin and Brown brought in to start at tackle this will give Drake another year to develop so that he could take over as a starter two years from now. Also in reserve at tackle is 6'5" 320 pound redshirt junior Tony Pilato, who has mostly played on special teams at this point in his career.
At center, returning starter Jimmy Morrissey is a former walk-on that got a scholarship last season. At 6'3" and 300 pounds, Morrissey has the size, and he has the leadership despite his youth. He was only average as a starter last season, but there's hope that he'll improve next season and beyond. He'll be backed up by 6'3" 315 pond redshirt senior Connor Dintino, who lost out to Morrissey as a starter before the season started last year, and 6'3" 280 pound redshirt freshman Owen Drexel, who is a tough tactician.
Two locals- Jake Kradel and Blake Zubovic- will redshirt, but both could be future starters. Kradel is listed at 6'3" and 280 pounds, which may force him even more inside, to center, and Zubovic is already a solidly built 6'4 1/2" and 310 pounds. The staff sees him as someone that could also end up at tackle.
Right now, this is a very questionable unit because there will be three new starters, and two of them were not on the team last year. This group could really go either way. I think they will at least be solid, but if they can become good or even really good, that's anybody's guess (really good may be a stretch).
What makes this unit even more mysterious is that there will be a new offensive line coach in Dave Borberly, who has been a major college offensive line coach since 1986. His vast experience can only help develop all of the rawness before him. Like someone that comes in as somebody is putting together a puzzle, a new set of eyes can see things that others could no longer see. And Borberly with his experience should be able to get things out of a few players that others could not.

And yet, we have people here who are beyond scared.
I have every confidence that App State would soundly defeat Pitt, based on the speed differences between those teams alone.
I hope the spread comes down to reflect the fear I see here. It will be like taking candy from a baby.
Pickett lit a high school team up for 155 yards...wowee wow wow.
Give them some credit. From 2000 thru 2016 they were undefeated against Penn State. Sure, we only played twice during that time but the Pittsters would lead you to believe they had a 17 game winning streak.
As an aside, we've never beaten Yale and every game has been a shutout. Also every game has been in New Haven. It really pisses me off.
According to the Lair, every team in America is either over rated or they stink and only win by virtue of scheduling. LOL
Lose and it will be 20 more years of "We won the last one".
Pitt bites the head.
Pitt bites the head.
They remind me of the guy at the reunion who is still talking about his "big game" after 30 years. He hasn't done anything of note since. PSU measures its football success in finishing ranked in the nation and getting invited to a top tier bowl game.Psst....we play them next year
Pitt is relegated itself to trying to beat PSU and an occasional upset.
I want to win this one. But, I want to win every game. Pitt isn't relevant. The ACC coastal is arguably the weakest division in a P5 conference. It isn't likely they'll win it either.
Pitt is Al Bundy without 3 of the 4 touchdowns.
I know it's so early in the season, but I might actually agree with the slob this time. The ACC, outside of one team, is absolute garbage. Between Francois and Rosier, that's some of the worst QB play I've ever witnessed. Duke might very well be the best team in the Coastal. I'm also convinced BC might be the second best team in the entire conference.
Pitt fans truly are a special kind of special. The koolaid they are drinking is some of the most powerful I have seen. It’s amazing what a win over Albany will do while scoring zero second half points. Its going to be a joy watching reality hit that fanbase at 11pm Saturday
First class content here. What a hillbilly fan base.

That’s in poor taste, but look up that remark by the Jimmy Buffet Parrot Head idiot. He’s suggesting that PITT cheap shot Trace and knock him out of the game.

That Parrot guy is a nut job. Based on some of his postings, his wife must be a real winner, too. They deserve each other.

Pitt fans say it must be a rivalry if Franklin chooses Sanders and Wade to speak to the media.....or maybe they are from Pittsburgh
Dumbest fanbase in the country

There's a moron thread on the Rutgers board too. Ped State insults and calling everyone pedophiles. Who knew beating these two groups in football would leave such complete and utter losers as human beings in our wake.
We are talking about a group of people that are happy that kids were abused by an Ex-PSU employee, so that they could make it about football. Sad human beings.
We're playing Pitt. So much chatter because of that. Pitt is the perfect example of " little brother " syndrome. Rutgers on the other hand has absolutely nothing to be pissed about. They are not relevant to PSU . They are not relevant in the college football world. 90% of the country thinks Rutgers is FCS.
Dude, I warned you before about posting all this crap. Knock it off.
It’s amazing he is still here. I have no issues with Pitt fans coming here and offering opinions even if they are delusional. In fact, I love the laughs it provides. This guy is just a moron with an inability to think for himself
Meanwhile on their board you get banned with no warning even when you are being respectful. Given that he has been warned and has not heeded the warning, that warrants a banning IMO.
I ignored the Pitt troll and yet my browsing experience is continually disrupted by others talking about it. This is exactly what the Pitt troll wants.
"Let's hope its a mud bowl and that celebrated Nitter OL ( who couldn't handle Hole in The Wall State last week) will be sliding around like a bunch of big hogs in a pig pen."
