Beat American University 4-0 in a friendly today down in DC.
They were Patriot League Champs. 11-5-5 last season.
Attended the game today in Columbus against JMU.
1-0 loss but it wasn't nearly that close. At halftime i wandered over to the Pitt tent and was surprised by what I overheard. Vid appealed to them playing hard...they had been outhustled the entire 1st half.
His post game comments were clear and harsh. He was right..only four guys came to play...the goalie and 3 others.
It may take longer than 3-4 years to be competitive in the ACC. The ACC is just that good.He has a challenge on the level of Kevin Stallings. Pitt Soccer is miles behind and he has been pretty honest in admitting that. The program he took over was closer to D2 level than ACC level. Its going to take 3-4 years for them to even be competitive in the ACC and longer than that to challenge for an NCAA bid.

It was like watching a soccer mom recording her daughters game from the top of the bleachers with a flip phone. Ok not that bad, but not far off.Watched them play Hofstra on espn.3. No commentary and you couldn't even tell which team was which, Hofstra dominated the game, but couldn't score and Pitt scored on the counter. Have watched a number of their games, and they are lucky to have the record they do.

34-5 shot differential is insane in division 1.In their game against Cincinnati they were outshot 34-5 and Cincinnati had 7 corners while Pitt did not have one all game and somehow Pitt pulled out a 2-2 tie.
34-5 shot differential is insane in division 1.
OuchSomeone who watched the game told me that Cincinnati had more than 90% of the possession in the second half. And he realized how absurd that sounded, but he said that 90% might actually have been selling Cincinnati's possession time short.
Speaking of soccer, anyone catch the Pitt women against northern Illinois or whoever it was. I caught some of it on espn3. The camera work Is absolutely terrible. Terrible angle, terrible zoom, terrible everything. Someone needs to fix it, it's just awful.
It's in progress. By fall of 2018 all ACC schools have to be ready to produce ESPN quality events for all of their sports in prep for the launch of the ACC network in 2019.
ESPN getting more and more people cutting the cable and satellite tether because they are pis--d at espn hosts mixing politics with sports. Most people want sports discussion devoid of political commentary. Similar to problem NFL is having with game attendance dropping.
This trend has potential to really hurt the launch and ultimate success of the ACC network.

They lost to Wake Forest tonight, 2-0. Pitt was outshot 21-3 and Wake had 14 corners to Pitt's 1.
Middle school game?Oddly enough, the Pitt men also lost a game to Wake Forest 2-0 while getting out shot 21-3. What are the odds of that happening?
I had the game on but wasn't watching very closely, just on in the background kind of thing. I thought Pitt played much better than the stats show and while Wake had most of the possession, they didnt test the GK much even though they were racking up shots. At one point in the 2nd half when it was 0-0, the announcer commented on what a great game the Pitt GK was having and I thought, he hasnt even made a "good" save yet.
Women soccer ties tonight. ESPN must have produced the game. Looked good.
That is a stunning result. The Hoopies were 30th in the coaches poll released today. They were picked second in the MAC preseason poll this year, behind only Akron who is usually pretty good. The fact that Pitt beat them probably isn't stunning, but the fact that they won 7-0 is. Pitt scored all seven goals in about a 30 minute span from late in the first half to early in the second half.
