Read his post in conjunction with the one to which he was responding. Sarcasm in both. But I don't have a skin in the game so feel free to think as you wish.
I was far from serious...I was stating how Pitt fans would post. They’re always saying that everyone but them cheats, that’s why they can’t win. They accuse us of cheating in football, wrestling and women’s volleyball....but funny enough, not basketball. I wonder why we would cheat at minor sports like wrestling and volleyball, but not do it in a major sport like basketball. And since their basketball program has been significantly better than ours, using their logic, that means they cheat in basketball recruiting.
Geezer: I get your point, but my guess is that you are making it from the perspective of a longtime PSU alum and/or fan. Which means you have enjoyed consistent football success over the years, and it has become part of your expectation.
Agreed. I could possibly understand if the game with them ever means anything. We lost game one and still killed them in recruiting. It’s over after this year, but I don’t think it will change to those who live near Pittsburgh. To the other alumni, they aren’t even an afterthought.
Come on, do we really? There’s been absolutely no discussion about that on this board. Oh well I guess I’ll just have to visit the Lair for factual information about the upcoming game from now on.
Pitt's high academic standards for admission and demanding coursework put them at a disadvantage. That's why Pitt was ranked below the entire Ivy League.
So, once again, Stanford leads the way in the race to measure “Which University’s (Universities?) ICAs are willing to sponsor the most activities that no one cares about”
Yippee for Stanford (and the PAC12)
Of course, this will be wonderful grist for the “Let’s thump out chests and give everyone a big raise” Mill at ICAs across the country.
However, Penn State has been to more final fours (1) than Pitt has (zero).
Congrats to your kid, but if field hockey is their thing it’s no wonder no one has ever heard of them.
Most here likely agree with you. I do not. To me the greatest insult you can give Pitt fans is to ignore them. The continuing posts about them leads their fans to believe they matter. I personally think, and I expect this will be a solitary opinion, that many here subconsciously feel inferior to Ohio State and Michigan and so they pick on Pitt as if to say "At least we're better than those guys." I will now exit this thread before those with pitchforks, or should I say Pittforks?
Sure, but don’t for a minute think that lyke is more fiscally responsible than Sandy.
I don't get a newspaper anymore. So I can 't read the cartoons. Instead I go to The Lair.
You are not the 1st person to suggest that, but I am not. As I said in another post, the comparison flatters me and insults him, but thank you all the same. FG was one of my favorite posters before he left, perhaps because I agreed with him on a lot of things. He left a few days before I started posting (after months of lurking) although I did not know it at that time. I've taken on a bit of his style, but there are others I also admire and I've tried to take on a bit of theirs as well. In any event, I hope FG returns soon, but I fear he has run off with Elizabeth Shue and will not be heard from again.
