This one time 5 star recruit and bench sitter for UGA is weak armed.
He had a cannon for an arm. Now he struggles with accuracy

Week after week

My father will be coming home for hospice care tomorrow and he is extremely close to the end. It is likely that this will be the last time we will be side by side watching a game.

Me and my dad grew into being diehard Pitt fans together. Our first Pitt game was vs Bowling Green in 1999 in the final season at Pitt stadium when I was 8. I still have very clear memories of it and it got me hooked early. We attended a few games sporadically after that but were offered free last-minute tickets right next to the Pitt tunnel for the 2009 Cincinnati game. While it was heartbreaking, that was the game that turned us both into the Pitt fans we are now. We got season tickets together the following season and kept them through 2022 when his health went downhill. I attended all but one game during that time (I wanted to fight though it, but I was hospitalized with severe mono), and he attended every game that his health permitted. And he soldiered through many of them in pain.

Our first road trip was Clemson in 2016. Talk about luck. That weekend is one of the fondest memories of my life among so many others. The endless memories you make having season tickets for college football is something that makes this sport special and different and something that people who are not into the sport won't understand. I will cherish them forever.

My dad has been an incredible role model, an incredible husband, and my best friend. He did so much for me and my mom. Definitely more than he realizes. All of the things in life that make me the happiest are things he taught me and things we spent my whole life enjoying together.

I think praying over sports is generally very dumb, but I am praying that even though he may not even be well enough to watch it, I know that he will be able to hear it. And I know how much joy it will bring both of us to be able to be able to be next to each other for one last game. Preferably a win! So let's put some Pitt prayers up for Big Don and hopefully our boys can give him one more win for the road.

One final thing, I know many on here have already been through this. So any advice on how to handle these coming weeks/months would be greatly appreciated.

H2P.

Milroe is TERRIBLE. Glad we have Eli 😀

Lincoln Riley sitting on a scorching hot seat now.

I am not a Steelers fan. But I absolutely believe they have to start Russ. Justin Fields has been okay, but the whole reason they blew up their QB room is because they wanted to be better than okay at QB. Kenny didn't get a fair chance IDGAF what anybody thinks because he was a better quarterback at the beginning of his Steelers career than he was at the end of it. That screams coaching! In spite of they weren't winning a Superbowl this year with Kenny, Mitch, or Mason.....and guess what....they ain't winning one with Justin either. They could have gotten Justin level play out of Kenny and had him on a rookie deal for 2-3 more years (assuming they picked up 5th year option). They brought in Russ to get over the hump with a fringe elite but aging defense. If they don't at least make a significant run at the playoffs this year it will be mission not accomplished and now they gotta pay 1 or 2 quarterbacks and still be in middling mode or perhaps be forced to blow the MFer up and trade some of their aging defenders to a true contender for draft capital.

Their offense is pretty damn good but their defense doesn't seem to be.

I'm really not sure. I think Pitt would have a better chance beating Clemson than Miami.

With Texas losing to Georgia last night, there are now 10 undefeated teams left in the country:

Army
BYU
Indiana
Iowa State
Liberty
Miami
Navy
Oregon
Penn State
Pitt

None of those 10 play each other this week so there are no guaranteed losses, but there are a few notable games, like Navy playing Notre Dame at Giants Stadium and Pitt and Oregon both hosting one-loss teams (Oregon plays Illinois).

Dude is a character.

Looking for a parking pass in a surface lot for Cuse if anyone cant make it or has an extra. DMs are open.

Is kicking their butt big time

not much passion. Dominated the game but couldn't finish. But the biggest bonehead move was
let Sahmkow take the PK. All the talent on the team and he picks him. Now before you say he the
leading goal scorer, his goal are more grit than talent.

So far epic game

Did anyone catch this on Pat Bostick’s weekly insider show earlier? Honestly I had never even heard of it before I saw some talk of this on the board in 2021. Ironically the awarding body wasn’t present that year which is when Pitt would have won it for the first time since 1980. Anyway, Pat had the guy, a Pitt alum, who is helping to bring it back on his show and he announced that Pitt was retroactively awarded it in 2021. Now that does beg the question of if it would be awarded in 2022/2023 too (I’d guess to PSU who I’m sure would get on the high horse about it), but whatever.

It’s just a fun thing but does go back to the 30’s so cool to see it return for eastern football. And it’s also interesting to see how strong a lot of the eligible schools for it look right now - Pitt, Army, Navy, PSU, Syracuse, Miami too apparently. Also BC and VT are… decent.

I don't think I've ever seen a more impressive team at snatching defeat from the Jaws of Victory before.

I can't see Wilcox surviving this season. Just ineptitude at the 4th quarter consistently, complete opposite of our team.

Neve say never but it looks like Duzz will be here for a while.

Curious, what your thoughts are on this one?

Mentioned in this paywall article that “Pitt is a school that really likes me.”

Figured starting an Olympic specific thread about the AD to avoid getting yelled for daring to care about these sports. Curious what everyone's thoughts are
