You've nailed the self-loathing part, that's for sure. Nobody self-loathes as well as they do on the Lair. Over there, they've perfected self-loathing.
Thirty years of bad football, severe paranoia and a healthy dose of self loathing tends to effect rational behavior.
One of the reasons that they don't believe that anyone running a clean program can win is because they only had the "one-off" success because the Golden Panthers were paying players twice what the Pittsburgh Steelers were paying.30 years? You're being gracious. It's more like 80 years with a one-off during the late 70s/early 80s. And they're a football school? Good grief.
Could make a good ad: I'm not a doctor, but I did sleep at Heinz Field during a Pitt football game last fall.Pitt games are a viable option when the Holiday Inn is booked solid.

Good point.Good luck getting anyone, even an actor, to admit they are a Pitt fan on TV. Larry Fitzgerald would rather say he's a university of Phoenix grad than admit he spent time at Pitt.
I must admit that I broke my vow and returned to the Lair and read the Spanier thread. Really glad that I did because now I completely understand the true story behind the Sandusky scandal. It clearly also answered all my questions about Area 51, who killed Kennedy, where Elvis is now and the origins of the Bermuda Triangle.

Pitt just landed a grad transfer from Rutgers. A former top 1200 recruit who caught......wait for it....2 passes last year. One for 7 yards. He will no doubt be a deep threat for Kenny Heisman.
Whipple will be hamstrung with the weak tight ends on the Pitt roster. He obviously likes to throw to tight ends, but he'll have issues with Pitts weak TEs. The new TE had 13 catches during his career at Rutgres.
But, but, but...look what Whipple did when he got his hands on former PSU 5-star Adam Brenneman. Brenneman ‘’did nothing’’ at Penn State, but really blossomed under the tutelage of Whipple at UMass. As if Penn State never had a tight end who did anything.
Hey, Pitt fans: Ever hear of Pat Friermuth? Mike Gesicki? Jesse James? Let’s work back from there.
Whipple is hamstrung by being Whipple. He has never had success at major college level and will run an offense that will cause even more napping at Heinz Field. They'll be lucky to average 14 points a game. And that's only because they play in the Coastal. If they played anywhere else they'd make the Rutgers offense look prolific. Why risk a young, dynamic OC when you could get the guy that helped turn UMass into a program that even the Sun Belt and the MAC didn't want.Whipple will be hamstrung with the weak tight ends on the Pitt roster. He obviously likes to throw to tight ends, but he'll have issues with Pitts mediocre TEs. The new TE had 13 catches during his career at Rutgres.
lol... several years ago on my first Lair post, I was banned for telling the "Adam Breneman story" when he was putting up big numbers at UM. They had never heard of him. Had he not been sidelined with injuries, he would have had a great PSU career. He had a pretty good freshman year at PSU. Today he is a great off field representative of PSU.
Only at Pitt can you get a transfer from Rutgers who can't contribute there, and is lauded as a great get who is a late diamond-in-the-rough.
Going to either program is a hardship way worse than Justin Fields experienced, so they would certainly get waivers.If you transfer from Rutgers to Pitt or vice versa you don't have to sit out a year because Rutgers is just Red-Pitt.
It is fantasy season for denizens of the Lair. All transfers into Pitt are guaranteed first round draft picks until the actual season begins. They then immediately fade into obscurity. Wash, rinse and repeat year after year.Pitt just landed a grad transfer from Rutgers. A former top 1200 recruit who caught......wait for it....2 passes last year. One for 7 yards.

Peak has finally become totally unhinged, he’s now resorted to quoting Brenneman ( a former Nitter in Lair logic ) to tout the genius of Whipple.If you transfer from Rutgers to Pitt or vice versa you don't have to sit out a year because Rutgers is just Red-Pitt.

Exactly, it’s similar to staring into a mirror and denying the existence of the image being reflected.They can't recruit so they convince themselves that they have the answer....a new OC. LOL Don't you love how they mock Paul Chryst......and they have Nardouche.
This is how legends grow and become mythical. The actual statistic was 8 yards.Kenny 15 yards?
And lest we forget: Crazy Paco is sick.
Seriously, what is WRONG with this creature who feels the need to criticize Penn State at every turn?
I actually saw that and laughed out loud which I never do but it was so damn funny.Regarding Hornibrook transferring:
"I'm dead serious he wouldn't even be 3rd string if he came here. Not in our young QB room."
I'm pretty sure he could be out their starter, Mr 8 Yards.
There are some who believe that's another posting name for Chris Peak. He can't say what he really thinks about us using his official name, goes the logic.

The good old days. Those idiots actually drank my kool aid for a littleI thought the poster was kind of goofing on everyone, much like el daddy did there. Turns out he was serious.
You were great, I thought you were the biggest douche on the Lair, and that’s saying something.The good old days. Those idiots actually drank my kool aid for a little
If his pass patterns are 3.5 yards and Kenny Heisman's passes are 8 yards, that isn't good.Pitt just landed a grad transfer from Rutgers. A former top 1200 recruit who caught......wait for it....2 passes last year. One for 7 yards. He will no doubt be a deep threat for Kenny Heisman.
[It’s] a little disappointing because I think he had the potential to be pretty good. You have to want it right here,” the head coach, pointing to his head, said according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.“You have to want to have another year of it"
