Has the stench surrounding the filth at Louisville reached your senses yet? You seemed shocked when folks even dared suggest Louisville added some baggage to the ACC. Well after some motor cycle accidents, screwing of staff members wives, screwing of waitresses, strippers, prostitiutes, we now have a cheating scandal unfolding at this Community College.

At least you kept FSU and Clemson happy.

That was in September and things are, of course, "fluid."

BTW, PITT fans pointed at the hiring of Barnes showing that PITT was getting serious about athletics.

They made their bed 30+ years ago and then went all in again in 2002. If you're going to be a basketball school, probably a good idea to be relevant in the sport. Not sure where they thought they were going to get the talent from because Pittsburgh HS hoops is a joke for how large the city is.

Oh well.

LOL!!!!

Love this board.

No matter what you guys may think all is not Doom and Gloom.

In fact today, Max Browne (Rivals 5-Star and No 1 Rated QB in the Nation in 2013 from USC) just committed to Pitt as a Grad Transfer.

He will enroll in January and compete in spring drill with Pitt soph QB MacVitte.

On the OC front I am hearing that Matt Canada is going to LSU for $1.33 million ($1.8 million with incentives) per year. Pitt was offering Canada a 2 year contract worth $1 million per year.

As with Penn State last year, Pitt was not going to get into a bidding war with the SEC for an OC.

I have complete trust in Narduzzi and in his selection of a new OC. With the money Pitt was going to offer Canada they will be able to obtain and fairly compensate the new OC based upon his qualifications and experience.

Rutgers, Temple and Pitt are all in the market for an OC so we can continue this discussion when all the candidates are selected.

Additionally, Pitt today also received a commitment from Jerry Drake (Rivals 3 Star 6'7" 300 lb OL from Palm Beach Gardens Fla.) Prior to selecting the Panthers Jerry had official visits to Oklahoma,Tennessee,Alabama, LSU and South Carolina and will enroll in January. Can never have enough good OL (No 5 in this years recruiting class) recruits from Florida.

Today Pitt also reported that they have sold out their allotment of 7000 tickets to the Pinstripe Bowl. I suspect Pitt may be requesting extra tickets to the Bowl (similar to what they had to do for the Military Bowl in Annapolis last year).

Always a pleasure guys.:smiley:

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

If you are referring to the Louisville and Wake Forest matter.

I don't really have anything to say, other than it didn't involve my University.

Kind of what happened at Penn State with Jerry Sandusky. Bad situation which was not good for the B1G Conference but did not directly affect Rutgers University.

I was trying to address all of the topics which were brought up in this thread relating to Pitt.

A change of scenery often does a QB well but is this the same Max Browne who has career totals of 650 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs? Ask these Rutgers guys about the last high profile High School QB they took as a transfer and how that worked out.

On the commit part, you lost me at 3*.

Oh, and congrats on selling your 7,000 bowl tickets. I'm sure the Pinstripe officials let out a sigh of relief.

You never know how they will work out.

However, for Pitt we have had good results with QB transfers coming to Pitt (Tom Savage and Nate Peterman). For Max Browne it remains to be seen but I am hopeful.

Pitt has had good success with transfer QB.

Don't know what you mean about 3*.

What I do know is that Aaron Donald was a 3* and your Hackenberg was a 5*.

How are they doing in the NFL.

By the way Pitt beat Penn State this year in both Football and Basketball with our recruits no matter what you think about them.:smiley:

Why don't you tell me about the number of stars along the OL that made things run?

Also, your Donald vs. Hack analogy is dumb and typical PITT delusion. Stars matter and to say they don't is idiotic.

Yep, you won the game and lost the war. We are the #5 team in the country and I think you may be "others receiving votes." I wouldn't change a thing about this past season.

Finally, for all of PITT's efforts to become a basketball school - Big East, Petersen Center, etc. do you know they have the exact same # of Final Fours as Penn State since 1941? Seems to have been a rock solid decision by PITT.

Sure did. And yet Nardog still can't get any traction in PA and will end up with one highly regarded WPIAL throw in from the entire state. Eight wins and #50 recruiting class...he's killing it. Gotta give him credit though. The one year where he had a shot to beat PSU, he did.

And Temple beat Penn State with their 2* recruits two years ago.

What is your point.

And we beat them senseless this year.

I'm not going to get into it because I don't want to slight any team who has beaten us over the past few years. What I will say is that *s matter and over the next several years I expect the macro view of Penn State's results will show that.

LOL!!!!

To begin with Penn State did not beat Temple (with their 2* recruits) senseless this year.

Penn State beat Temple by a score of 34-27 (maybe your interpretation of senseless is different than mine).

Stars do not insure winning records, if that was the case then Texas, Notre Dame, LSU etc. would have had fantastic seasons.

Stars are someones assessment (subjective) of the talent (potential) a particular recruit has.

Other than stars I am more impressed about the schools who have offered a recruit because those schools are all doing their own evaluations.

The 3 Star player from Florida (above posts in thread) that you somewhat mocked had offers from Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU, Tennessee, South Carolina, Pitt among others.

Those schools recognize (in their assessment) that this player has great potential even though he is only 3*.

My previous example citing Aaron Donald (who was also a 3*) had significant offers from good football schools. In his last year playing for Pitt, Aaron Donald goes on to win almost every NCAA award that can be awarded to a Defensive Linemen. In the NFL, he is already a pro bowler.

Pitt is making significant progress in elevating their football program whether you want to believe it or not (it really doesn't matter).

Dumb comparison. Typical of Pitt fans.

A better comparison would be the #1 QB of 2013 MAX BROWN 5*, #2 Hack 5 * and #3 Shane Morris 5*. Max Brown had 2 starts in 4 years, was benched and is now transferring. Morris had 0 starts in 4 years and is now transferring. Hack is in the NFL and collecting a paycheck.

Aaron Donald? You mean the guy from the Rams that always gets dumb penalties, several ejections and costs his team games?

Penn States 2 stars beat Temple's 4 stars. Temple benefited from sanctions. Greg Webb 4 star, Colin Thompson 4 Star, Buddy Brown 4 star, to name a few. Half of PSU's starters were from the sanctions. Half of those players graduate this year. Next year PSU will be putting their 4 stars on the field vs TU's 2 stars.
 
I love watching PSU and Pitt fans fight, and I hate potentially siding with Penn State...

But how is Pitt anything but an afterthought in the state of Pennsylvania?

I can't tell if this was meant to be an actual question, a rhetorical one or a statement. Well freakin' done.

BTW, I can't believe some of the things I'm reading ITT from the Rutgers faithful.
