Which do you think is worse. I feel apathetic given how much lower Pitt has performed based on expectations. Anyone else finding it hard to give a crap about the game this week?

I gave up about 3rd quarter of the WVU game.
This team has almost no exciting players and the offense is like watching paint dry.
Doesn’t disappointment come first, but when you’re a fan and continually get disappointed over a few years, eventually the apathy can set in and you don’t care anymore. You gradually change from diehard to casual fan to …….Which do you think is worse. I feel apathetic given how much lower Pitt has performed based on expectations.

This is shaping up to be a year where everything goes wrong...
And then another #2 ranked team (FSU) comes in and Pitt finds a way to knock them off
From ACC Champs in 2021 to being happy we avoided winning fewer than 4 games just 2 years later. Unreal.In the season prediction thread, I posted 3-4 record going into ND, pitchforks are out, but then Jurkovec turns it up against his old team and leads Pitt to 5 straight wins to finish 8-4.
Although more realistically now I see maybe 4-7 heading into Duke game, who will have a good record like 9-2. Narduzzi will continue to have Dukes number and win in an upset, thus avoiding the season with less than 5 wins (similar to 2017 or even 2007).
Apathy because they did this to themselves. They don't give themselves a chance to win each week.
pretty much gave up on the season and really doubt i'll watch the whole thing. and this is from a guy who planned his weekend around pitt games.Which do you think is worse.

Then there's NO HOPE IN 2024, this offense is too weak and impotent, doesn't Narduzzi see that he went 11-3 and won the ACC Championship because Kenny threw 4 TD passes every week.There needs to be some serious steps forward, especially defensively, for there to be any hope for 2024. The offense ain’t changing much, so the D has to get way better.
The defence and special teams need to score 21 points each week, as the offense isn't going to score much.There needs to be some serious steps forward, especially defensively, for there to be any hope for 2024. The offense ain’t changing much, so the D has to get way better.
Agree with you here. What is troubling me is our head coach seems more interested in an offense that compliments his defense by using ball control to limit the time the defense is on the field, but It's not the 70's or 80's and we don't have 5 star lineman. We can't keep up with high powered offenses so even really good defensive performances won't be enough. Hell Alabama and Georgia can't even play offense like that and their talent level is far superior. Additionally, kids want to play in an exciting offense. Opposing coaches are using this against us in recruiting.Then there's NO HOPE IN 2024, this offense is too weak and impotent, doesn't Narduzzi see that he went 11-3 and won the ACC Championship because Kenny threw 4 TD passes every week.

This runs completely in contrast to the last 5 years of student turnout (which has always been better than general population) in both the Panther PITT and the ZooI am mostly apathetic. I love being a Pitt man and show the colors but also know that loyalty brings tremendous self induced pain. When I read the Clemson rumor I went to a different place and said to myself I wouldn’t even care if we dropped to FCS at some point because I am so tired of the way the school has managed athletics over the years.
As alumni we mostly don’t contribute. Why is that? Ya gotta put that mindset into your students while they are still at school and Pitt never ever does that.
Anyway, yes I am apathetic.
Student turnout has nothing to do with donations.This runs completely in contrast to the last 5 years of student turnout (which has always been better than general population) in both the Panther PITT and the Zoo
Sometimes I wonder what games people are watching.
If anything student turnout blows away what I saw as a PITT student. Which actually should bode well for the future
When discussing the future it doesStudent turnout has nothing to do with donations.
Only time will tell that. Hopefully it does but I can tell you I graduated in 1984 and never felt compelled to donate because I literally felt that I was on my own navigating my way through Pitt and half the time fighting through their roadblocks. I wasn’t looking for them to hold my hands but damn don’t put up roadblocks.When discussing the future it does
The point is alumni tend to donate based on the college experience and game day they remember from their times at schoolOnly time will tell that. Hopefully it does but I can tell you I graduated in 1984 and never felt compelled to donate because I literally felt that I was on my own navigating my way through Pitt and half the time fighting through their roadblocks.

I do donate, but I attended in the same time frame and have to agree. Admissions, financial office, housing, registering / ad-drop for classes, advisor process all were train wrecks. Maybe better there now, I’d hope so. But every necessary part of the process was always a struggle. My particular majors were subpar in many ways (a number of poor instructors and very difficult access to 100 level classes). I did have good experience with the internship office and with job placement service, those folks seemed to go the extra mile. And I later got my MBA at Katz and that was a good experience, both academic and administrative. A lot of frustration with most other functions as an undergrad though.Only time will tell that.
