Michigan pricks aren't much different than Pitt pricks. Funny how that is.
Pitt had a "Yellow Out" for their Spring Game
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
Funny, pretty much sums up my wife's attitude toward UM fans
Maybe I'm not as big of a college football fan as i thought... Who the F is Henderson???
He's a kick returner. A good kick returner. Which is good, because they are forced to return a lot of kickoffs.
The dip shits hang their hats on the fact that he has more total yards than Barkley. If you return 6 or 7 kickoffs each game, you should lead the nation.
And they use "all purpose yards" which is Pitt speak for kick return yards and little else.
Exactly. Also, it is important to note that ALL of Henderson's All American mentions were as a kick returner, NOT as a running back. Barkley is an All American running back, so no, Henderson is not better.
And to be completely honest, if our defense was as bad as Pitt's (remember their Syracuse game?) and Barkley was returning as many kickoffs as Henderson, then yes, Barkley would be a much better kick returner too.
Henderson had roughly 1160 yards on punt and kick returns. I think around 600 rushing and 280 in receptions. So under 900 yards from scrimmage. Compare that with Barkley's more than 1800 yards from scrimmage. There is some strong weed being smoked by the Captain and his crew.
You get a lot of yards as a kickoff return guy, when you have to return kickoffs every 5 minutes. They don't seem to get that.
I thought you guys were joking but I went over there and they weren't debating whether Quadree was better, they actually believe it. They think he's a Heisman candidate. We will have to cover kicks well. They will have to try and tackle 26 all day. I think they have the bigger problem.
How on earth did we let that program beat us in football and basketball. We better beat the crap out of them in the Fall. Losing to a program that can't get anyone to come to their spring game is embarrassing. Losing to a program that has no basketball roster is embarrassing. 200 people at spring game is a joke.
Why even bother with this guy? Ignore him like he's an infant. Just some friendly advice.
I like how he insists its Michigan and OSU as "the Big Two" in the Big Ten when Michigan hasn't won the B1g title in 14 years, while we've won 3 in that span.
Extensive breakdown as well on Panther Liar about Pitt having better WRs. Funny stuff. Also, not much excitement or savior posts on Brown after Saturday's game.
That idiot has been exposed and made a fool of repeatedly, bringing that asshole here wouldn't change the pattern of kicking his ass.
This is why Pitt is the gift that keeps on giving. Soon they will be talking about how their QB is better, and then how Pat will coach up their defense to make them the best in the nation. Soon they will all be convinced that Pitt is going to win the national title. When the house of delusions comes crashing down, and it always does, it's that much more fun to watch. I have a feeling that it's going to happen earlier this year, let's say 9/16.
I've seen posters on other boards saying the same thing...they forget that PSU, MSU and Wiscy have all won multiple championships since 2004 and Michigan had won 0. Michigan is completely overhyped.
If he was that good, considering their lack of talent elsewhere, couldn't PSU just kick it out of bounds every time? [rhetorical question]
If Joe J is healthy, and depending on weather conditions, most kicks will go deep or thru the endzone. Punts may be more of a problem and then you kick to a sideline etc. If things go well, we won't be punting much.
And lose. Our spring game losing streak is nothing to be proud of. Hopefully they get off the schneid this Saturday.
It's one of America's most beloved sports traditions.
I hope Joey is kicking through the endzone but I worry about the line drive that doesn't get through the endzone. I think Gilliken has the ability to be an outstanding punter. With good hang time, Quadree will be making fair catches or getting clobbered. I'm certainly okay with seeing plenty of kickoffs though and rare punts. I just hope we use Gilliken to pin teams deep rather than going for it on 4th down every time we approach midfield.
Football aside, the spring game comes with much of the atmosphere and other aspects of attending a college football game - tailgating, fun, and an opportunity to get together with family/friends. As an added bonus for those with kids, the game is free, not as crowded. and usually provides some different opportunities not available in the fall (ie autographs or other activities).
Unfortunately for schools like Pitt that play in a city in a Pro stadium across town, the game-day atmosphere is not very good so there is little incentive to attend a spring game. IMHO this is a significant reason Pitt will continue to struggle. They don't provide a compelling atmosphere to come out to a game, let alone try to sell your opera tickets. Lack of game-day experience = lack of fan base = tough time recruiting = mediocre football team = lack of fan base = tough time recruiting.........
Until Pitt builds a stadium on campus and provides students/fans a compelling experience, the program will be summed up with one word - Meh.

That's. So. Bad.
Not to doubt the sources, but I figured it must have been a shot taken like an hour + before the game. But there's the team in the lower corner.
Almost not even worth making fun it's so bad.

Well he got plenty of practice returning in the Syracuse game. Probably had to take an IV at halftime with the amount of points Syracuse put up on their genius defensive head coach guru. He probably had 600 return yards in the Syracuse game alone
Yet they wonder why their alums aren't passionate and don't go to games despite ridiculously cheap season tickets (less than the ticket cost of one big game for most schools) and over 2.5 million people within an hour drive in a region known for its love of football.
How much nostalgia do Pitt alums have going to Heinz Field? Little to none.
The sideline reporter was interviewing Tyler Boyd and she started to ask him what's it like to come back to Pitt and she caught herself and said come back to Heinz Field because coming back to Heinz Field isn't coming back to Pitt, it's a visit to the North Shore. He then said he's been to Heinz Field as a Cincinnati Bengal or something to that effect.
Feel the majesty, the tradition, and then have your retinas checked from all the blinding yellow....
What really stood out to me on that video was the jaw dropping speed their entire team displayed while running on to the field. That's not just Alabama type speed, that's NFL level speed. If I had to judge just based on that clip alone, I would say Coach Narduzzi has assembled the greatest team in the history of CFB.
To be honest, that's just a few less and not all that different than their games in fall.
