Thoughts on the SMU game

SMU isn't a juggernaut, but they could hold their own with any team in the SEC except for maybe Georgia.
Look at SMU's schedule and results this year-then let's revisit this.

You think a team composed mostly of guys who tranbsferred to SMU because they couldn't get on the field at those SEC schools is suddenly ready to contend in that conference? Come on now. Going into this game, we hadn't played anybody, they hadn't played anybody--and yes I'm including BYU in that statement. SMU certainly had better coaches and athletes than Pitt, game planned us and our simplistic offense well, knew we were weak in the trenches and elsewhere, knew we only have one real offensive weapon and he weighs 175 pounds, knew the LBs, corners and the back end of our D are suspect, and came out and shoved it up our a$$es from the opening snap on.

Point being, the fact that they beat the brakes off this Pitt team that featured most of the same guys on the field that went 3-9 last season doesn't mean they're ready to take on the big boys. BYU, Duke, Nevada and Louisville all agree. None of them are even remotely in that class.

Pitt’s new on campus football stadium

I agree that building a stadium doesn't help the team win now. But it makes it a better experience for students. That helps the team to win decades down the road. Pitt needed to rebuild the stadium and also committ to the program 25 years ago. It's not going to happen now.
So why moan about it. 25 years ago the decision was correct, as much as I hated it.
I've said many times that there aren't building a stadium. If I'm being obsessed, then it's about the reality of what would have been best and they chose not to do it. Something you often do here by pointing out mistakes Pitt has made.

My view is that they made too many blunders and because of those, their window for getting into the Big 10 is closed. So it really doesn't matter what they do now. It's only a matter of time.
Drama queen.
