by worst you mean actually competitive and not filled with exhibition fcs games that no one goes too?
Two out of the three toughest games are on the road. What does that do for attendance??
it's a home and home. we have both teams at home one year, and away the other. that's how home and homes work. we play wvu home in a week, we have to repay them with a visit. same with cincy. We arent in a position to pay a D1 school like cincy to come here only..
the only issue here is the ND scheduling agreement, that creates an imbalance. hey, i agree, it kind of stinks but on the flip side, you do get a visit from them in '25 i think. what's the other option? Tell ACC to NOT schedule notre dame on your schedule? that isnt happening.
I think our fall back to the pack will be 7-5/8-4 type seasons in the future. Hopefully.
so they should have said no to the backyard brawl and instead paid new hampshire to come here?
there are pitt fans that would rather play fcs scrimmages in front of 14k fans than an actual P5 team to get a better record. it's weird and quite pathetic actually. like someone else said, we'll likely have one team in the top 25 and we are crying about our tough schedule lol.
I didn’t enjoy the $5k I spent on a Peach bowl trip to watch us look feeble on offense all night. Actually , I did enjoy the trip , just not our play that day.
Maybe some past Bowl losses are on on the coach for not treating it sufficiently. But for the Peach loss… blame the “system” on that, not the coach. The system for a sport that purports to be a serious enterprise, but that inexplicably is fine with players randomly blowing off post-season games, for which they were given scholarships to participate in.
bowl games are becoming less and less meaningful by the year. the coaches and players dont even take these games that serious anymore. I like them cause it's more football but you just cant take them that serious. i almost consider them more of a prelude to the upcoming season.
With the transfer portal, and our success with it, i am confident we wont have a "2017-like" year, even when losing 5-6 OL, kancey, Habo, Alexandre, Dennis, Hill, Morgan, Hallett, Williams... Damn, you know what, i started out posting this to make a point but literally changed my mind in mid sentence.
