Let me know

just seems to have narduzzi’s number -
It would not surprise me at all if SMU struggles with BC in 2 weeks

Luckily don’t play SMU again until 2027 - by then lashlee will be Oklahoma’s head coach

Still in the top 25, I think they might be a little higher on Tuesdays rankings

I detest PSU, but even if they lose tomorrow, they’re still going to be in with just one loss. However, if OSU loses, they have a decent chance of losing a third game, which would put them out. Do we as Pitt fans swallow our hate for 1 day and root on those idiots to the east? Is it better for Pitt’s CFP chances for a PSU win?

He teased the Pitt fans by pulling a Pitt hat out, and then he threw it to the side.

We can all be dumb as teens but he also had said to the media he would change Pitt's culture because they don't get elite players like him. Ok.

the next Arkansas coach when Pittman tanks...so hopefully we won't have to see him for a long time in this league.

Honestly, given just how much cell service costs, it’s fairly unacceptable that all through the north hills there are dead spots where LTE and 5g just crap out.

I have Verizon, anyone else have this issue?

Delete - repeat thread

Have to give credit where credit is due. I don't know their remaining schedule, but they very impressive.

An interesting stat was brought to my attention by our friend and Pitt historian Sam Sciullo.

By beating Cincinnati, West Virginia, North Carolina and Syracuse, Pitt has defeated four teams it lost to in the previous season.

That's the most "revenge games" Pitt has won in a single season since 2015, when the Panthers - in Pat Narduzzi's first year - beat Akron, Virginia, Georgia Tech and Duke.

Interestingly, the last time Pitt won four revenge games in a single season prior to 2015 was 1997; that year, the Panthers avenged 1996 losses to Houston, Miami, Virginia Tech and West Virginia. Coincidentally, that was Walt Harris' first year (just like 2015 was Narduzzi's first).

Of course, you kind of need to have a bad year to pull off that many revenge games. Pitt was 4-7 in 1996, 6-7 in 2014 and 3-9 last year. That helps set the table. But I think it's interesting nonetheless.

Tonight Sucked plain and simple. Offense couldnt move defense got run through, hell even Sauls missed a kick. But theres a pretty easy opportunity for a blowout bounceback next week versus a very bad UVA team. Huge game the next week vs Clemson if we wanna have ANY chance at sneaking in ( im probably gonna get flamed for even suggesting it, fight me ), then we have Louisville which is gonna be a real tough game but u never know. Then should end the year with a W vs BC. All and All im thinking 10-2 ( 9-3 floor, 11-1 Absolute Luckiest Ceiling) which is one hell of a bounceback after a 3-9 season. Good momentum into the offseason after a successful year should help in the portal, and all of the sudden next years team may be even better. I know tonight has been horrible and everyone has a right to be frustrated. But it aint all doom and gloom for this team. Hail2Pitt

I have no idea how accurate this is, so don't shoot the messenger.

It’s figure out

Sorry if that makes me a bad fan. I hope I’m wrong and everyone can tell me how stupid I am after the game is over. But right now it’s just so awful to see a team who I all thought was legit playoff team get destroyed like this.

They just said they’ll be in Pittsburgh next week.

Not a hoops guy. I have no idea who this kid is. I guess this kid has Tenn, Pitt, and Xavier in his final 3. Heard from a guy that I know and trust Xavier came through with a big bag and he will be going there. That was about 72 hours ago. Things change with NIL by the minute though.

I kept thinking of Wanny saying we need to run faster during that one half time. I think we need an upgrade in team speed outside of our LB and Reid. We just seem to need to find a way to increase speed in our skill players in particular and on the back end. SMU I think really exposed us in that area. Yes we were in a positions and just didn’t execute but they also just seemed so much quicker and explosive as well.

How big are Eli Holstein's hands? If larger than 8.5" I would expect him to have a better grip and be more accurate on Saturday given the forecast.

No, I don't think he should be anointed the starter in the post-game presser lol

But there's a message being sent here to Holstein, as there should be

The leash isn't endless

The best-case scenario for Pitt is that the Panthers just experienced the worst-case scenario.

Because with any luck, Saturday night’s 48-25 loss at SMU will represent the team’s bottoming-out this season.

Been waiting all season for all 3 phases to be on the same level…. Wasnt envisioning this.

Eli bouncing easy passes a la Phil Jurkovec and hasnt looked like himself since UNC. No confidence
Junko back to his old lousy self
Sauls doing the impossible and missing a kick
Missed tackle after missed tackle
Both lines pushed around
Des Reid being ran up the gut giving Larod Stephens-Howling flashbacks
SMU comprehensively punked us tonight and Pitt looked like they never got off the bus. No fight!

Comprehensive gong show. Cinderella turned into a pumpkin tonight and need to correct a lot for their last 4 games

Look, there was so much bad last night. This debacle wasn’t the QBs fault. The Oline looked like a depleted oline. But just a quick observation and question. Eli’s footwork looked way off. His release was slower than I seem to remember. Did anyone notice, or am I off here? I’m no QB coach, never played the position, but it looked like he needed an extra second to set his feet before attempting a pass.
