@WPIALinsider was calling out the Pitt athletic department left and right yesterday and now he's calling out the Steelers Kenny narrative.

Karlo I will pay for some of this insight. Please speak to the people about this stuff lol

I know it’s early but that dude is shot out of a cannon. You can Clearly tell the difference between him and DD.


Hope he stays healthy. Not worried about his size as much as his insane workload.

Hope Goff gets his cast off soon maybe he can be a number 2.

We’ve had a really good run of place kickers so rank them:

1. Blewitt
2. Sauls
3. Kessman

I usually have club season tickets every year but i had many conflicting events with 2 grand kids coming this year and kids that live out west.

I have two tickets in the East club in section 212 row P for Pitt fans only. Price $180@. I can get twice that amount on the open market but only want to sell to Pitt people. If interested I will make the transaction in gold lot 1A day of the game.

12 seconds left in ND/NIU. The clock has stopped momentarily to move the chains. ND has 1 TO. Do you call it now so that you have 2 plays before a FG but risk a sack or completion short of the sticks ends the game? Or do you do what ND did and spike it, which ran off 3 seconds and meant you only had 9 seconds and time for 1 play before the FG? I call the TO and instruct the QB to only throw passes 10 yards or longer.

Pitt - it ended up not matteting but:

First down at the 20 with 2 TO's left. Cincy also has 2 TO's but elects not to use them. We rush to the line to call a quick play instead of milking the clock. Then on 2nd & 4, we inexplicably call a passing play when we are in almost in guaranteed FG range already. If this is me, once Mumpfield catches that ball, I call 2 runs up the middle then call a TO with 8 seconds left, attempt the FG on 3rd down in case there's a bad snap. Kick the ball off and the game is over. We left them 17 seconds and 1 TO which isnt much but they had 2 plays to get 35 yards for a miracle-ish FG. I didnt like that.

The comeback was "unlikely" and this gem: "The enthusiasm over Pitt’s new hurry-up offensive style that erupted during training camp fizzled quickly when Holstein had trouble finding rhythm until late in the third quarter."

Who besides the writer says it was unlikely? What's the basis for saying enthusiasm fizzled? And exactly whose enthusiasm fizzled?

If you're going to write news, at least use attribution -- or keep your opinions out of news stories. 🤮

I'm in the South Side for Pat Narduzzi's weekly press conference. I'll post news and notes in this thread as Narduzzi speaks.

Obviously Heather Lyke's dismissal is going to be a prominent topic.

I’m a Pitt fan. Contact me pitt5150@yahoo.com

Director of Athletics Heather Lyke is out, as Pitt announced Monday morning that Lyke had been fired. After the news broke, we went live to talk about Lyke's dismissal, her legacy at Pitt and more.

Big things ahead for them, but will either of them be at Pitt next season?

Pitt is playing poorly and a bunch of people post. Pitt plays really well the last 20 minutes and makes a good comeback to win and the board goes quiet for the most part. Pitt has way too many fair weather miserable fans.

Already hearing in WVU circles that they are going to have more fans than we will at Acrisure next week…yada yada yada. I had words with one of their players Dads who claimed that was the case two years ago. They’re delusional. But I do wonder about next week, now that we won today. What do you guys think?

Does anyone remember the comeback Pitt had over WVU years ago. I believe it was in the 70's. Can anyone refresh my memory?? I thought the score was in the 30s?? But not sure.

I hate this team. Icy Whites the rest of the season. That's what it deserves.

On the Monday after Pitt's win at Cincinnati, we've got thoughts on Eli Holstein's play, the offense overall and a lot more.

Anyone know of any to watch the brawl at?

Anyone surprised? I am a little, thought we would see something close to even at open and maybe a little late movement towards WVU.
