Pitt lost to Texas. I remember Larry Wanke coming off the bench to toss three tds but Pitt lost 32-27.. But the thing I remember most about this game was the last BB game. It was played the Astro Dome but like 23 thousand showed up despite the fact that it was played in Texas.The Bowl disbanded the following year and I remember reading that the teams didn’t get their share. It was on New Years Eve I believe. If you do remember it you are an old dude like me!

This probably doesn’t need it’s own thread but…

Has there been a more overhyped quarterback in recent memory? I mean he gets talked about like he’s a Heisman finalist and one of the next prodigous NFL quarterbacks. He is big and he can throw a ball far. Cool. I don’t recall him ever looking elite for a half, let alone an entire game. He routinely misses easy throws and goes like 12/20 for 150 yards.

That throw to Notre Dame at the end of the game though…beautiful. Maybe my favorite pass of the year 😉 Thank you for saving us from having to watch Penn State play in a national championship with that one Drew!

….was malpractice. The end of game offensive failings are a punctuation mark on the fact this incompetent(apparently untouchable staff) are not up to the task. You may not be able to fire Capel at the end of this season but if he is not forced to clear that bench then this program gets what it deserves….spoiler…it deserves disappointment.

I always enjoyed throwing back a couple of complimentary cocktails and hearing the coaches speak. Kind of became an off-season tradition for some of our tailgate group.

Samara Coleman was an incoming star recruit for the Pitt volleyball team, but I'm hearing that she did not get cleared medically.

This is a big loss for the Panthers. Coleman is a really good outside hitter prospect, which is a position of need after Torrey Stafford left for the transfer portal.

I thought that play calling was piss poor. A couple 3rd and shorts in the first half when they loaded up and ran right into a brick wall. Then on 3rd and 3 late, with the field spread and knowing that it was 4-down territory, I thought they should have tried to hit them with a draw.

Weather couldn't have benefitted the Eagles any more, though. That was homefield advantage on steroids. Not a bad model to emulate if you're the Steelers. Need to keep devoting high draft capital to the lines.

Did that Texans player shove his coach in anger or in celebration for causing the fumble?

**** man. I hate making these threads but I’m so ****ing irate right now

Capel has fixed NOTHING .

The same issues that we identified week one are even WORSE now.

And there’s been zero sign he can fix it.

Kelsey draws up these perfect plays for his guys. Knows when to use timeouts. Always had an answer

Capel just be rolling the ball out and refusing to make adjustments

The team continues these stupid drives into the teeth

The team continues to have massive defensive lapses

The team continues to have ludicrous shot selection

The team continues TO GET MURDERED ON THE GLASS

And he never subs so they’re exhausted at the end!

Although this is about Villanova, look at the difference in win totals and not making the NCAA Tournament as soon as Jay Wright retired.

That's why if Pitt could get a better coach who actually understands X's and O's and would bring in much better assistants, I think we wouldn't only be invited to a play-in game in 7 seasons now.

Beamer gets an $8.15 million contract for leading SC to a 9-4 season. That makes him the SEC’s NINTH highest paid coach.


For comparison sake, Narduzzi at 6.5 million is the 4th highest paid in the ACC, at least when he was extended

... have a nice night and safe travels tomorrow.

Here we go....

While 23 rebounds is a historic number, Lampkin came into the game as a known immovable object. What I saw during the game was Pitt taking advantage of the lack of speed in pick and rolls and back screens. The staff knowing that G gets knocked off the blocks by a stiff wind and that Cam is a slow leaper, chose not to play Kante more. Why? Maybe to reduce the number of fouls or efficiency on switches, but it was deliberate.

While I also think that Capel should substitute more often, his coaching style is to go about 7 deep. I recommend looking at the ACC basketball stats website. Pitt has two of the top players in the minutes played category, ….and Lampkin rebounds against everyone, yes Pitt gave up the most. It is an informative journey through stats to see where Pitt actually stands at this point in the season, even given the fact that the ACC schedule is quite unbalanced.

Harbaugh keeps saying Zay Flowers is questionable each week until gameday and then he doesn't play. When I saw him go down I thought it was a torn ACL, but I'm not doctor of course. Is there any repercussion in the NFL if the injury is more serious than what he is letting on?
