Wins from 2021 - 2022

Power 5 teams with more win over the last 2 years than Pitt:
1. Georgia: 27-1
2. Michigan: 25-2
3. Alabama: 23-4
4. Ohio St:: 22-3
5. Clemson: 21-8

That's it. That's the list. Other notables:

6. Notre Dame: 20-6
T7. Pitt: 20-7
T7. Oregon: 20-7
T7. Utah: 20-7

17. Penn St: 17-8
50. West Va: 11-14

So hopefully Utah passes us on Monday.

The journey was a total mess this year and they left a lot on the table but I don't think I'll ever call a 9-4 season a disappointment for Pitt.

Pitt was missing a lot of key players on defense in the Sun Bowl, but that didn't stop the Panthers from stopping UCLA in the second half.

The Panther-Lair Post-Game: Reactions to Pitt's win in the Sun Bowl

Pitt finished 2022 by beating UCLA in the Sun Bowl. After the game, we went live to talk about the win, the season and a lot more.

Beating two ranked teams - same day

As printed in an article in the Tribune-Review:

Pitt’s two victories over ranked opponents Friday — the basketball team defeated No. 25 North Carolina earlier in the day at Petersen Events Center — got author and Pitt historian Sam Sciullo Jr. thinking:

“I can’t think of a same-day, football/basketball win combo to match this since Dec. 7, 1963,” he wrote in a text.

• Pitt defeated Penn State in football, 22-21, to finish 9-1.

• Pitt defeated Duquesne in basketball, 69-67 in overtime, in the Steel Bowl final at Fitzgerald Field House.

“If someone can come up with something better, bring it on,” Sciullo wrote.

DTR

Absent injury I’m not sure I've seen a player hurt his draft stock more playing in a bowl game.

Stupid taunting when up. 3 INTs. Sulk by yourself on the sideline. Quit on your team an limp to the locker room. Come back to the sideline and chest bump after UCLA takes the lead.

Wouldn’t touch this clown with a 10 foot pole.

Lol. Should’ve just opted out.

Today Was a Good Day

Haven’t had a Pitt day like that since the ACC Championship last year, which isn’t that long ago, and that feels really good. I started my Pitt fan-hood in the dregs of the Walt Harris era - was the triple overtime Thanksgiving week win over WVU to be exact. Since then there haven’t been many periods that have felt as good as Pitt winning 20 football games has these last two years. This year was definitely a disappointment from what I expected, but they finished well, and I feel good about the program going forward.

I loved every minute of the Howland and Dixon years. Sure, I was frustrated when things went downhill, and hated that we didn’t succeed in the tourney, but those were fun times. I’m finally letting my guard down a bit now with this hoops team and really just letting myself enjoy them and root for them for what they are. A tough, mature, scrappy, team that plays with chemistry, intensity, plays defense pretty well, and can score from anywhere.

What a great day! Hail to Pitt!

OT Not OT. Meaningless Bowl Games

I don't know about yinz, but you haven't been entertained??? The last few days have produced some fantastic college FB game which have gone down to the last play.

What is not to like??? Why do even people paid to cover sports dissuade them?? I don't get it. Either you like college football or you don't.

These bowl games so far have been fantastic and entertaining.
