dear lord they live on another planet. They better hope it rains next year too, that's the only thing that kept them in the game.
Honestly, I would make the goal to win next years game by 39. A very realistic goal considering who penn state has returning and coming in. That will mean Penn State will have outscored pitt by 100 in the 4 year series which should end rivalry talk
I just want to point out something and say thanks.
All of the posters here who were reasonable and realistic and told us that PSU has major talent, depth, and match-up advantages over Pitt were correct. All of the moron pitt boosters, with their hyperbole, circle-jerk exaggerations, and downright lies, were completely wrong.
The BS started to pile high last week and since i'm a pessimist, I let it in. I was nervous. Thanks to everyone here who is knowledgeable and reasonable for keeping me sane.

I saw one post from him here a few days ago, was the first that I ever saw. Was gonna ask why we allowed him to post here, but didn’t have the energy to waste on him.
They are always wrong, they talk in their echo chamber and convince each other that the world is flat.
Nominated for most idiotic post of the week!
This cat needs checked for mental illness
Love it...Students have to bus back to their dorms! HA...wonder if the shuttle busses run on a schedule to allow them to get back early, or if the University only runs them after the game to ensure they stay!
Well the gates were locked, so they couldn't leave until the end.

Even Saquon disagrees with you. Hard to have a rivalry when even the players don't think there's one.
Even Kijana Carter disagrees with you:
“I mean, I’m from Ohio, but I know that Pitt and Penn State rivalry,” Carter said. “I think it’d be good for the state to have that game again. ... I hope they (renew) it.”

Last I checked Ki-Jana graduated 20+ years ago. Saquon just 1. Who do you think has a better idea of what current players think?
So once again you are saying the perspective of an older generation doesn't count. Am I still putting words in your mouth?
It's like this: If you were born before 1975, you remember the rivalry. If you were born after, you don't.
You know what else will be like that in ten years? Sandusky.

Also, are you saying that a rivalry exists only if the players deem it a rivalry? Is that your position?

Yes, you're putting words in my mouth. What I'm saying is that only the older generation that grew up in Western Pennsylvania still consider it a rivalry. The majority of Penn State fans, and current players, do not consider Pitt a rival. My statements about this have been pretty consistent and I don't know why you can't grasp that. Please reread the posts.

Once again, please reread my posts and do not make stuff up and attribute it to me. But, if you think something is a rivalry when the players don't, then you have a unique perspective on what makes up a rivalry.
Love your sig picture. As for Pitt, it's over next year. Let it go.
If we lose 4 one would have to think Pitt loses a bunch more than that. Unless of course the ACC isn't as strong as what they'd have you believe.
By 2020, this thread will be a distant memory.
In all honesty, it's a rivalry. That said, after this last week, I don't think the majority give a damn about playing Pitt. I know I don't, and that's saying something.
This board will talk about the Pitt game through Kent State week and through Illinois week. We should get over Pitt sometime into Ohio Stae week. Don’t get me wrong, I hate Pitt almost as much as as hate Notre Dame, but I’m ready to move into the B1G season.

I love it. You can multi task so very well LionJim. Using Fair’s crush to describe an oxymoronic personality trait (normal obsession) and posting about it while stuck in traffic yet, at the same time, resisting the urge to search for Elisabeth Shue pics to include in your post (which is a bitch on a phone when you are steering with your knee) shows both great restraint and extreme social media savvy all at the same time. BRAVO!
Why would I reread the same drivel. This is just the same back-and-forth going on:
1. You make a comment with an inference,
2. I disprove your inference.
3. You claim that isn't what you were inferring and then bitch that I am putting words in your mouth.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

I must have missed the parts where you disprove anything. BTW, the definition of inference is "a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning". If you call my comment an inference then you're calling my comment accurate. But thanks for playing.
And, as far as "putting words in my mouth", please point out where I said "the perspective of an older generation doesn't count". I can, however, point out where in one post you argue that TV ratings make a rivalry and then in the next post you argue they don't.

1. In response to my statement that no other game provides as much entertainment (and using, at the time, this 67-page thread as evidence) you inferred (incorrectly) that my comment is not the reason for a rivalry to exist.
2. I pointed out that you have mistaken evidence for reason and the special hatred between these fan bases is evidence that a rivalry exists.
3. You did not deny there is a special hatred but that it only exists for older fans, thereby attempting to qualify for your statement, only to have me point out that just the rivalry means more to older fans doesn't make it less of a rivalry.
4. You said "Blah..blah..blah...You're making that up and and confusing me with words! Nobody cares about the game!"
5. When I noted that it was highest rated prime-time game on Saturday and you inferred (incorrectly again), that the purpose of my comment/link was to show that the relative tv ratings is PROOF! Voila!
6. I pointed out that the #'s show the ratings are evidence that people (including the TV executives who decided to make it a nationally televised game!) obviously "care" about the game. (And in that same post, I pointed out that sheer ratings #'s alone don't make a rivalry.)
7. After again claiming that I said ratings make the rivalry (which, again, is an error in evidence vs. reason) you (ironically!) said "You are attributing things I never said! I'm taking my ball and going home!".
8. Thinking you are gone for good, you decide to come back for more by posting the Saquon Barkley tweet. When I posted the Kijana tweet in response, you painted yourself in a corner again by making a comment that once again discounts the views/perspectives of older people.
9. Again, you cried that I was putting words in your mouth. HOWEVER, you did leave us with this admission. You said "What I'm saying is that only the older generation that grew up in Western Pennsylvania still consider it a rivalry."
So after all of that, you finally agree that there is a rivlary. It may not be as hotly anticipated as UM/O$U. It may not gather ratings of an ND/USC. It may be more regional (even within Pennsylvania). And the series may be coming to an end, but there will still be ill-feelings between the schools. And if/when they meet on the baseball field. basketball court, wrestling mat, or football field, the game will mean a little bit more than if we were playing Rutgers, Temple, or almost anybody else.

Once again, you're whole post is BS. You were the one that challenged me to "spin" the rating and when I did, you backtracked. And the rest of this post is you changing the meaning of most of your posts to try to spin it to your view. And I stand by what I said on in point 9. But I never said that older generations don't count. I said they are in the minority. That's a big difference.
Late Edit: I also never used the term "special hatred" and never would. Hating on some kid because he plays for a team that PSU plays has always struck me as juvenile. But feel free to hate on thousand of kids you've never met because they don't happen to wear blue and white on Saturdays. I'm hoping they all go on to have happy and productive lives.

Only in as much that I'm Penn State and he's Pitt. I've moved on from a former rivalry and realize that it doesn't matter anymore to the majority of PSU fans and players whereas he's yelling that it still exists and is still vitally important. And everyone else should agree with him, dammit.Is j30329 vs nitanee123 a rivalry?
Can you guys take this elsewhere? You are ruining a perfectly good Pitt insult thread.
I think somebody should throw a bucket of water on them.Is j30329 vs nitanee123 a rivalry?
Before the hair pulling starts.
