Not many schools can capture the grandeur of the full game experience for their spring game, like Pitt can. Somehow, it's nearly identical.
Pitt had a "Yellow Out" for their Spring Game
- Thread starter Judge Smails
- Start date
Looks like there were more people on the field than in the stands. I guess this is what Pitt uses as a selling tool to prospective HS recruits parents. They can sit anywhere they want to see their son / "daughter" play on football Saturdays!
Pitt is all about consistency... whether it's having the same crowd for a scrimmage or game... or not having a 10 win regular season since 1981.
Luckily, the delusional group on the Lair won't be able to afford these tickets. They are used to paying $6.
Don't forget how consistently they win the national championship.
Exactly why we shouldn't play them. When only one team gains anything, the game shouldn't happen. Financially we made their season for them...why would we want to help them like that? Their numbers and $$ will be way down this year...but they can ride through until next year when we save their ass again.
No crap he had more all purpose yards because he returned kicks. Even a mediocre return man can gain 15 without even having to break a tackle or make a move. When you return kicks for the team with the 106 ranked scoring defense who gives up an average 35.2 points per games you are going to get a lot of return. Henderson had a pathetic 917 yards from scrimmage. Barkley had 1,898 yards from scrimmage.
CaptainSidney also thinks Pitt punter Ryan Winslow is better than Barkley...he had 2385 yards.....punting
The NFL draft next year will be a surprise to them. Q won't come out. Barkley will be a top 10 pick. How will they spin that?
That's awful, yet hilarious.
Here's one that really rankles some of the Pitt fans I talk with:
On any given fall Saturday when both teams are playing at home, there are more people who live closer to the Pitt campus than PSU in Beaver Stadium than there is total attendance at Heinz.
In other words, one of the multitude of activities that keep people from attending Pitt games is attending Penn State games.

That's not right. Pitt or not, these kids work their a$$ off all year and this is the support that their "fans" give them at their spring game?? They should be ashamed. That's messed up.
Those jabronis dont even go to the games, they just sit at home listening to Hillgrove and start threads about PSU
Somebody should dub some crickets chirping over that.
The crickets were drowned out by the intense silence.
Crickets' kids had U12 soccer tourny that day.
My daughter's 8U softball team received a similar ovation Saturday.
Wow, that's really pathetic!
The fastest team in the NCAA.. All World-Americans.. All NFL bound.. All NFL Hall of Fame bound!
Q.Henderson better than Barkley.. blah blah.. Their punter better than Barkley.. blah blah.. The Duzz better than the carnival barker.. blah blah..
Recruiting or OMGstarz doesn't matter.. blah blah.. No reason to choose the cults over the mighty fighting panthers.. blah blah..
Wait, am I doing this right Capt Sid? I mean I talked about a whole bunch of nothing in 3 paragraphs annddd I used crayons! Hey, I also underlined a couple of "un-key" words (just made that up.. like you do).
P.S. - I mean seriously.. As someone mentioned earlier, those kids are working so damn hard for their school and their alums have no gawd damn pride. These kids have no support from their fan base. Its really sad!
Guess what.. Pitt isn't it! In fact, Pitt is SHIT!

Of course, there will be a great crowd at the Blue-White Game because, you know, we all live in State College and walk out our front door over to Beaver Stadium. The majority of Penn Staters stay in State College after graduation.
Hell, if all of the players' parents would have showed up they would have doubled their attendance. I guess the parents had to go to the opera as well.

Not enough spelling and grammatical errors.
https://www.landof10.com/penn-state/despite-loss-pitt-penn-state-dominating-rival-recruiting
On signing day, that translated to a total rout of Pitt on the recruiting trail. Fourteen Nits signees chose Penn State over offers from the Panthers, according to Rivals offer sheets. Just three recruits picked Narduzzi’s program over offers from Penn State.
Penn State similarly dominated previous cycles under Franklin, but that was before the Panthers won bragging rights on the field. One would imagine Pitt would get some kind of boost from that.
Instead, the winds have continued to blow hard in Penn State’s favor. In fact, the Nits already are way out in front on the 2018 cycle. With the commitments Friday of Woodbridge, Va., running back Ricky Slade and Erie, Pa., linebacker Jesse Luketa, Penn State has pledges from six prospects who also hold offers from Pitt. The Panthers, meanwhile, have yet to secure a commitment of any kind, let alone one with an offer from Penn State.
That, my friends, is domination.
If that’s how things are going to go in the year after a Penn State loss against Pitt, it’s hard to imagine Narduzzi making headway when the Nits return the favor.
And they certainly appear poised to.
A Nits victory is by no means assured, even as this game will take place in Happy Valley. You have to figure, though, that Penn State will be a pretty heavy favorite to beat its rival for the first time since 1999.
If that happens, then what? Will Pitt win a single recruiting battle head-to-head against Penn State? The last year paints a pretty grim picture. Perhaps Narduzzi has a surprise or two up his sleeve again.
But for now, it appears not even a dramatic win at home can turn the Panthers into a long-term threat to Penn State’s superiority in the Commonwealth.

It's true I mean why not say to Narduzzi you wanna brag about 42-39 well we can brag about a Big Ten title and Adam makes a good point ....
Or MAYBE Akron won't get 107k in the stands, Pitt will since more alumni remember and care about that game than current students and you'd rather have a celebration in front of more people instead of less. I mean I understand they don't get that at Pitt since they're used to having small crowds for everything but still. Not fully hard to understand.
My favorite part is where he talks about how Narduzzi is trying to use the results of the game to make hay on the recruiting trail, but the results at this point are "questionable". No they're not, the results are obvious...they lost ground since beating us. How is that questionable? Players want to play for championships, not just one game (but they have their key chains).
Little brother personified in print. They care more about one game and being our "rival", we care more about championships. I wouldn't trade their program or season for ours. And we'll still deck them the next 3 anyway.
Is this the guy that asked about Pitt at Franklin's introductory press conference as PSU head coach? Little. Brother.

A serious question. Is Bittner that high school kid that writes for the PPG?
C'mon, those flag carriers had a big head start and most, well some, of the football team seemed to be gaining on them.
ESPN's Power Football Index actually is predicting Pitt will have a losing record this season....
http://www.espn.com/college-football/statistics/teamratings
The Football Power Index (FPI) is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily.
RK TEAM W-L PROJ W-L WIN OUT% CONF WIN% REM SOS RK FPI
8 Penn State, Big Ten 0-0 9.9 - 2.2 2.0 7.2 61 18.9
44 Pitt, ACC 0-0 5.8 - 6.3 0.0 0.7 29 4.3
That should get the hot seat pretty warm for Narduzzi , amirite? Losing season in his third year? Can't recruit. Horrible defense. What's the future look like?

But but but the 3 posters of the liar board said things have never been better and they are going to win another national championship this year .... Nardouche has them trending alright ... unfortunately for the pitters it's a nose dive into planet earth
He's pretty close to a losing record overall... fortunetly for him he had those lucky wins last season.
