yellow white white

Interesting that they didn’t grab the white lids for this. Maybe thinking they are cursed from last years WF game

Virginia was steamrolled.....here's the proof...

• An easy sweep....3 sets to 0.....Pitt won each set by an average score of 25 - 11.....a 14 point difference per set.....amazing
• Pitt hitting % .393.....Virginia - .011
• Points/set......Pitt 18.3.....Virginia 10.0
• Points/set given back due to errors....Pitt 3.0.....Virginia 9.3
• Scoring 10 pts/set and giving back 9.3 means you have no chance whatsoever in winning a set in a million years!
• Total domination by Pitt in every aspect of the match
• Everyone on the Pitt team played well but Stafford stood out in particular....she hit .455%....11 kills....only 1 error....2 blocks....8 digs....13 points

This was as dominating a performance as any we've seen all season.....Virginia is not a bad team (17 - 4 record before tonight). They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.....namely facing Pitt playing at their very best. I wonder if Virginia Tech was watching.....the next to the last place team in the ACC. If Pitt plays this well on Sunday they may be arrested for assault and battery! Lord Have Mercy!

Also an apparent Pitt flag is being flown as well.

Well done guys, well done.

Does anyone know where the watch party is in Philadelphia tonight? Pitt website says old city beer garden, but I’m worried that is out of date since that is an outdoor bar.

November…more truer than ever for this Pitt team..time to prove it.

My biggest takeaway from the Narduzzi interview is that Pitt/Alliance 411 has adopted an incentive-based NIL program. The better you play, and presumably the more the team wins, the more $$$ you get from A412 at the end of the season.

If I’m understanding the new approach correctly, that would mean that some Alliance 412 donors are donating, or “pledging” $$$ to cover the incentive-achieving payouts for successful guys on this successful team.

I think approach makes it much more attractive for donors, especially folks who have been interested but wary of not getting any “ROI” for their $.

Can anyone confirm how the new system works?

Jeff Capel is meeting the media right now. I'll post notable items in this thread.

LET’S….

It feels like an eternity just getting to kickoff for this game. Tomorrow is gonna feel like running a marathon just getting to 8 p.m.

So while we wait, let’s do a temperature check. How’s everybody feeling about tomorrow’s game?

Rate your confidence level on a scale of 1-10.

I’ll go first… I’m a solid 6-7. I think we’re legitimately good and probably have better depth and more talent across the board when you go position by position. But… The stupid betting line has me spooked, and their QB worries me quite a bit.

"Can you feel it coming in the air tonight?"

This is where Pitt should be ranked in the AP and Coaches Poll.

Mad respect for ESPN here and imo very accurate.

No. 14 Pittsburgh Panthers​

Previous ranking: 16

So much of the buzz about Pitt's hot start has surrounded Eli Holstein and the offense, but Thursday's 41-13 win over Syracuse was all about the D. Pat Narduzzi's unit looked like it had Syracuse's playbook, and it absolutely embarrassed Kyle McCord, picking off five passes, including three it returned for touchdowns. The job gets bigger in Week 10 with a trip to Dallas to face 7-1 SMU, and if Pitt's defense is peaking now, it might be just the right time. -- Hale

I saw Pitt had reached out to him. Looks like he’s testing his draft status.

Beating UNC at Chapel Hill on an Arnau Vilamitjana goal in the 88th minute.

I know some of you mentioned a meet up for a game, anyone interested in doing so this weekend? Sunday AM, spurs have a tough one early so The Pitch on Butler should be hoppin, and then at 11:30 is Chelsea vs Man United.

No use in complaining. If you like the sport, just root for the Dodgers. It’ll yield less headaches.

Are there any "Pitt" bars in the city where a bunch of Pitt fans go to watch games? Or just a watch party this weekend for the SMU game specifically? Would like to watch the boys go 8-0 with a solid Pitt crowd this weekend. Bonus points for good seating & having the sound on for the game. Live in Lawrenceville but willing to drive a little around tahn if its within 20 mins. H2P.

Flew in from Palm Springs for the game.
My son and his family lives less than 2 miles from the SMU campus.
Taking my 2 grandchildren 8 and 6 to the game as well. Have to get them started early.
It is homecoming and the game is sold out.

Funny thing as we were Ubering to my sons house a car dropped off three guys in Pitt Shirts.

We won’t be alone.
