Holiday Bowl, Snapdragon Stadium (35,000 capacity, expandable to 50K), San Diego, CA

Friday, December 27, 2024, 5pm PT, Pitt vs. Washington St. (Pitt favored by 0.5)

I’m in if this is the destination (if only to see a new college stadium in a great location)

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

Narduzzi says the Youngstown State game gave the coaches a chance to get a lot of players on the field, including 26 on offense, 31 on defense and 52 on special teams.

The #1 Women's volleyball team opened ACC play by traveling to Clemson and #13 Georgia Tech.
At Clemson (8-4), Pitt swept the Tigers 25-21, 25-15, and 25-13.
At #13 ranked Georgia Tech, Pitt also swept the Jackets 25-11, 25-17, and 25-8 in an absolute beat down of the 13th ranked team in the nation.
Pitt is 12-0 overall and 2-0 in the ACC, and has preserved its unbeaten set streak at 36-0, the only team that has not lost a set this season.

Pitt's streak of having 2 #1 ranked teams at the same time should continue into a second week.

And I do not think many Pitt fans realize how absolutely dominant the volleyball team is. They are just a #1 team that is barely #1...they are completely poised to win Pitt's first ever NCAA-awarded team national title, with the only other team pundits are mentioning are in their same category is traditional powerhouse #2 ranked Nebraska. It may be a race between men's soccer and volleyball who can cross the national title chase first.

Dead at 83

How does everyone feel about this with less than a week to go? Sounds like we got a chance and he is still making his decision. Not sure if UVA is still alive but appears to be Pitt vs. UNC.
Will Derek Dixon land at PITT?

Yes or No?

Finally.....it's about time!

Don't blow it. Yinz all agree?

Stanford over VaTech
SMU over U of L
Clemson to boat race FSU
Pitt over UNC by 10
My Upset special is Cal over Miami.

After watching SMU speed, speed and more speed. Just don't think U of L's style of defense is a good fit.

I think Stanford is a good match up for VaTech's offense. Plus I just hate VaTech.

I like it

Do you think FSU is asking him for advise this season. Just say'n!!

2025 Derek Dixon is on an unofficial visit today

It seems Eli amd Williams are on the sidelines of the LSU game tonight per their social medias

As much as they are trying to destroy, it is like having to flip between Scarlett Johanssen, Jessica Biel or Sydney Sweeney vs like.....Bette Midler.

Looks like we have what may be the first NIL holdout? UNLV’s QB sitting out due to unfulfilled promises.

Really great to have the late night ACC game on the West Coast. Now Pitt has to start it off with a win!

FSU’s version of PJ. And the HC with the HUGE $$$$$$ extension just keeps playing him. 😜 🤦‍♂️

My girlfriend and I were looking to get tickets early to be safe, but when we looked last night we were getting an error about the pitt site not being able to find any. Is it possible that its already sold out, or are they not on sale yet?

Here's a rundown of notes on a first-half suspension, redshirts, injuries and more on Pitt's personnel coming out of the Panthers' off week and heading into this weekend's game at North Carolina.

16 returning, 16 transfers in and 6 freshmen in.

Starting lineup projects OK - Pitching another black hole
