    "I don't believe we can win now."

    Finally, somebody nails it. The "sky is falling" crowd has been out in force, as have those attacking Hayes' character (although apparently not an issue if he's wearing our uniform). This is today's college football, and Pitt doesn't have the resources of many other programs. They have to...

    Our QB Room is Awful

    I'm glad that you mentioned Diffenbach. In the film that I saw, he had a nice combination of athleticism and arm strength. It seems that has a decent set of tools. I've yet to watch Holstein, but I do remember seeing Pat Bostick at a spring game many years ago and immediately being...

    Do We Have a Chance With PA. Qb Who Is Committing Today

    I honestly think that the system Bell is installing will depend less on arm strength and athleticism and more on accuracy and quick decision-making. We have been picked apart over the years by QBs who were able to make the quick slants or tuck and run when everyone is covered. It's a limited...

    OT: razors and blades

    I used razors for years, then switched to a Braun shaver maybe 25 years ago. They make a fine product, but the replacement foils and cutter bars are a racket. Several years ago I tried an Ali Express razor made by Surker. It's every bit as good as the Braun, and the replacement foils are a...

    UNC BOT Chair suggests leaving ACC

    Any ACC school that has a seat at the Big 10/SEC table will take it. They would be crazy to decline. Some will join a "best of the rest" conference, which may be the Big 12, a rebuilt ACC, or a merger of the two. The Big 12 feels confident they will pick the carcass of the ACC, but neither...

    Pitt included 48 team expansion scenario

    I would be thrilled with this, although Pitt is on the bubble in any 48 team configuration. If it's 64, I don't have any worries. If it's 48, we could find ourselves in some Big 12 mashup with VT, NC State, and Louisville. Those teams plus WVU and Cincinnati would provide some regional...

    Jeff Hafley to the NFL

    Hafley was making $3 million at BC. Average coordinator salary is around $1 million according to my impeccable source Google. That's a big haircut. And would have been even bigger for Kingsbury if he were a serious candidate for the Steelers OC position. I can totally understand a college...

    ACC Duz Interview - the last 1/3 is interesting

    You're right about all of that. On offense, the identity that Narduzzi sought to promote was dominating the line of scrimmage, moving the ball on the ground, and controlling the clock. We've not been able to recruit the personnel consistently to run that offense, and it has little appeal to...

    What’s The Different This Year ?

    I see this criticism a lot. What shots would you try to set up, and who would take them? We don't have front court scorers. It's great to work the ball down low when you have wide bodies who can finish. Fede and the twins are 6'11" finesse players at 5. We don't have a Sam Young, Chevy...

    It looks like FSU is voting to challenge the GOR tomorrow

    No longer having an openly disgruntled lame duck member who will leave eventually anyway. Because there is always risk in litigation. Because litigation can be expensive and distracting. Because it's likely better to focus on strengthening the conference than fighting scorched-earth...

    Worst weather Pitt home games you remember or attended?

    My son and I went to that game in a Honda Accord. I had been outside clearing our driveway and thought that the roads seemed fine. Thankfully we didn't encounter anything that seemed at all hazardous. To go further afield, I was in law school when Pitt closed the university during a bitter...

    Long Weekend in Wheeling

    Wow! The original poster is going to be visiting Wheeling and asked what's in the area. I told him some things to see, and I think they're worth seeing IF YOU'RE ALREADY VISITING. Most of the country -- heck, most of Pennsylvania -- is not very exciting from a tourist perspective. But I find...

    Long Weekend in Wheeling

    I second Oglebay. In addition to the Christmas light display, you can tour the mansion, there is a small zoo, and a glass museum. Nearby in Triadelphia is a Cabela's. If you're at all into outdoors, it's worth a stop. Probably some good Black Friday deals going. I also second Moundsville...

    Pitt plus the points

    Only if FSU watches the ND film and decides to sleepwalk through the first 55 minutes. No other way we cover.

    Overdoing it a bit? (Or exactly how much dirt do you need to throw on Slovis?)

    I don't think you can generalize. Guys like Priestley, Peterman, and Savage were more than adequate for Pitt. John Turman was a JUCO, I think, but also did just fine. And, yes, he had a very talented sister.

    Those against expansion outed

    And it seems that the Big 10 perfectly played Oregon and Washington, whom they probably wanted all along. They cut off the Pac-12's head by taking USC and UCLA, making it impossible for the left-behinds to get a good media deal. After letting Oregon and Washington twist in the wind, Big 10...

    Florida State buying its way out of the ACC?

    I don't get their end game. If they have an offer to leave and believe they can challenge the grant of rights, or reduce their buyout, then JUST GO. If they think the other ACC teams are going to give them an unequal share of revenue to continue sucking, and to torpedo their own programs --...
