JMU as a transfer

I guess we owe the football gods about 40 guys who could - and some who arguably should - have returned for that fifth year we got out of Pickett.

He also was the baseline official when Pitt was on offense n the second half. So, yes, that flop by Clemson (that was called a Charge on Burton) AND the referee who didn't call a foul when Burton got hammered in the final 15 seconds was a PSU grad. So there's that.

I had not seen this posted already, so just in case anyone has not seen it:

Always a well-done effort by the video crew. Note: On the game-winning drive, I was really surprised to see the wide snap that Patti collared before the great pass to Wayne. Heck of a play to gather up the snap and get it out.

It seemed like he was going to, but you never know. Kradel coming back would be nice too.

Quick question for any of you, I am getting Fiori's pizza tonight to eat while I watch the Pitt BBall game. Is it good? I've never had it before. How would you rank it in terms of pizza in Pittsburgh?

Thanks

Forgive me my ignorance; at what point in the game can the officials review a call like this? Just under 2 minutes?

As I reflect back, I wonder if there would ever come a time when the NCAA allows a coach to have a challenge - during each half - to review such calls? There would have to be a position where if the challenge wasn't reversed, that team would be charged with a timeout.

As was pointed out by DT, none of the refs had a "good look". But clearly, it was a mistake that did have an impact.

Just my two cents ...

Locked up the 1 seed…the NFC runs through Philly! There is a really good chance the Birds will bring another Lombardi home. Where my birds fans at??? 🦅 🦅 🦅

I couldn't pay close attention today.
So I'm not sure what all happened.
Why was I seeing Santos play so much?

I've heard people mention, Clemson went to zone and Nelly blowing some shots.

Any other good reasons why we lost this one?

We've got a special guest on today's Morning Pitt: it's Pitt quarterback and Sun Bowl champion Nick Patti. Nick joined us for an interesting and candid conversation about his performance in El Paso, his Pitt career and what the last year has been like for him.

I think you'll enjoy this one.

Pitt lost a meaningful game on Saturday when the Panthers fell against Clemson. On today's Morning Pitt, we're talking about what happened in the loss and where the Panthers go from here.

What stood out to @StephenGertz in Pitt's loss to Clemson on Saturday? Here's the film breakdown.

For reference, the quads are as follows:

Q1 opponents: 1-30 (H), 1-50 (N), 1-75 (A)
Q2 opponents: 31-75 (H), 51-100 (N), 76-135 (A)
Q3 opponents: 76-160 (H), 101-200 (N), 136-250 (A)
Q4 opponents: 161-353 (H), 201-353 (N), 251-353 (A)

As of 1/1/23:

Pitt: 10-4 (3-0), #70 NET (up from #72)

Q1: 2-1 (L vs. #13 West Virginia, W @ #43 Northwestern, W @ #65 NC State)

Q2: 1-1 (W vs. #32 North Carolina, L @ #115 Vanderbilt)

Q3: 1-2 (Neutral L vs. #103 Michigan, Neutral L vs. #122 VCU, W @ #137 Syracuse)

Q4: 6-0 (W vs. #250 UT-Martin, W vs. #273 North Florida, W vs. #286 William & Mary, W vs. #310 Fairleigh Dickinson, W vs. #315 Sacred Heart, W vs. #339 Alabama State)

Clemson still owns us. Bummer

Went a little meta on that thread title, but merely seeking to hear from @Chris Peak and @JimHammett if we think that Reynolds committed to Pitt, and whether anybody else did over the weekend. Chris indicated he thinks Davis did commit, so Ive got him penciled in, but that comment also got washed away in the global politics tide of that thread yesterday.


Just looking for the skinny. It’s Monday, I’ve got 3 sick kids and maybe 4 based on an “my stomach hurts too” after breakfast! Hoping that one is just FOMO about staying home from school!

"The Bills and the NFL just made a contractual gesture that is a continuation of the outpouring of love in the direction of Damar Hamlin.

Sometimes, it's OK to bend the rules.

Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest on Monday and has spent the week fighting for his life, has a contract that contains a standard "split'' clause designed to pay him at a lower rate.

But in light of his situation, the four-year $3.64 million agreement has been subjected to an adjustment, so despite the fact that he was placed on IR this week, Buffalo has (per NFL Network) worked out an agreement with the NFL and NFLPA to pay him in full."

I see Pitt tight end Keri wright is in the portal.

Allow me to go Sherlock Holmes here.

I think both players committed today and Duzz only tweeted one PAT signal

You’ll notice in todays post Duzz used 2 exclamation points as well as 2 squares

And I don’t think Karlo is tweeting this without securing both commits

I could be totally off - and I have no insider info. Just a hunch (since you guys hijacked my other thread you get ANOTHER one)

I don't believe he saw the field in the Sun Bowl, at least at running back. Was he hurt?

That is ten in a row in the series, sometimes these things just can't be explained. Thought they would flip that this year, but the streak continues.

To me, no shame in that yesterday. It is frustrating to blow that kind of lead in the second half, but they also came back from a significant deficit against a good team again. That was a big time game between two good teams. That is it. Could have gone either way. WIll say that this team cannot afford to get down early like they have. Not a good trend. Feel like they are just a bit excited and settle for outside shots a bit too much off the tip.

Just too many missed free throws, especially from Blake. Also, the poor lob from Nelly really hurt. That was an easy two points on that possession and could have ended the game. You never know but it would have been nice to find out.

Jamarius is REALLY good. You don't often see players of his age take big jumps like this. But he has and all credit to him. What we are seeing from him this year is historical type stuff in this program. There have not been many players in this program that performed like this in conference play. Just an incredible level right now.

Blake is a really talented player, but he has to make some better decisions. They cannot afford for him to be in foul trouble, and just too many careless decisions. He probably got away with a couple of fouls as well. Nate filled in and was fine, but they needed one of those threes so badly.

This team was not going to run the table. We didn't think they would be 4-1. So now the test is to rebound and move on to the next one. This is what happens in conference play. Being able to move on and not letting one loss turn into two is crucial. There is no reason this team can't beat Duke.
