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.
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!
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.
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.
Here is a running list of all the current Pitt players who have announced via social media a return to the team next season.

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?
Pat Narduzzi is compensated as one of the top coaches in the ACC. USA Today released its latest coaches’ salary database, and Narduzzi is on the border of the 25 highest-paid coaches in college football. He makes $6,699,551 as the head coach of the Pitt Panthers, which is the fourth-highest...
HCPN should be on the hot seat, year after year they recruit the same, they coach the same, and their records have been the same. So, they are doing the same things year after year and as fans we are expecting different results. I’m tired of waiting til next year, I’ve been waiting 49 years for a different result,
