POLL: What was Pitt football's most ignominious defeat?

[john4psu]

Since Penn State has inflicted some of them over the years, what was Pitt's football's most ignominious defeat?

Additional game details for each of the 10 choices can be found at:

I'd be curious as to what some Pitt lurkers would pick.

 

[RLCookie]

Who cares?

 

[SaquonCappelletti]

The one where this happened.

 

[Phil's Rug]

48-14, the day we took their soul and they have never been the same.

 

[rmem]

Who cares?

This guy just likes making polls. Who knows why.

 

[psuro]

C’mon John. Enough with the Pitt obsession.

Some of you are really fvcked up with your Pitt obsession.

Thanks John! It's fun to look at those losses, but 48-14 is really the dagger that killed pitt football.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Take it to the Pitt Board.

48-14 was pitts high water mark

This is a poll where there are so many good choices it should have been a "top 3" poll......

 

[BobPSU92]

Ignominious? Stop making up words.

The Houston loss is the single most embarassing game I've ever seen. I was 7 in 1981, so that doesn't resonate with me. But blowing a 25 point lead in the fourth quarter? That kind of awful is special.

Take it to the Pitt Board.

He did.

Boy, Midnighter, you just reminded me of the 1983 game versus Alabama. We led 34-7 after 3 quarters and had to stop the Tide at our goal line in th final seconds to escape 34-28.

Someone here will likely say PSU benefited from a bad call, but if he will check the tape, he’ll see a Bama TE move before the snap on the final controversial play. Or so my memory claims

Okay, let me parse that a bit - Pitt was up 34-13 with about six minutes left.

3-0 loss in the sun bowl with shady mccoy as starting RB. Absolutely pitt-thetic. Announcers were dissing them the entire game. Too bad nobody was watching.

Well apparently you were.

Agreed. But I voted. Why not? Didn’t take much effort.

Seems we’ve got quite a consensus for winner. Was impressed that my second choice is the second choice so far-OK-state-, since I truly don’t give a darn about Pitt. In fact, I’m one of the few here who wants them to become a better team.

Because it’s ignominious.

That was horrid.

Another would be the loss to a USF team all of 4 years in existence and first year of 1-A.

Because Pitt is a turd den that can't resist the urge to call others out, and make themselves look stupid within days.

The Fralic "Pancake", Boys of "Fall", and "When Johnny Comes Marching Home" are three examples of idiocy at its best.

Don't leave out "You walk today because of Pitt".

 

[77 PSU]

None of the above. 1968 or 69 they were getting crushed by Notre Dame and played the second half with a running clock. Notre Dame will tell you Pitt asked for it to run. The Pitters will tell you ND did it on their own. Either way they were mercy ruled.

In the "Ohio State 72 Pitt 0" game, Ohio State scored their last touchdown on a punt return. The Buckeyes only had 8 players on the field (vs. 11 Panthers) on that punt return.

This thread is not here. Isn't 'here' really 'there' without the 't'?
