Good tourney for us. Two games against name teams. We will have the big/acc challenge as well. Good start to the schedule for next year.
2k sports classic
- Thread starter UPitt129
- Start date
add to that our extremely brutal H-H's in the ACC next year (SU, UL, Miami and UNC).
I cannot wait for people to bitch next year when it is required we have to play two of the other four programs, IUPI, Eastern Michigan, Gardner Webb or Howard, at home before Pitt gets to NYC....and blame it on Dixon.....
People will complain because this doesn't help the home schedule. People feel entitled to a home slate of mich st, Kentucky, and Kansas.
Add that to the possible WVU matchup, and our SOS is ridiculous. Unless we get some major minutes out of newcomers, I don't like our NCAA hopes next year.
It doesn't help the home schedule. Identify one poster who advocates playing a final four line up in the preseason. Typical hyperbole.
I'm sure this news will prompt more season ticket sales.
OK, just "those that defend Jamie at every turn", who largely don't exist. Well played.
I'm exaggerating, of course. But the non con is looking very solid for next year, and I'm sure people like you will still complain because you feel entitled to "entertaining" home games.
I did edit the post soon after I posted. No biggie. I won't make this a big deal. It really isn't worth it. I thought we were being funny, you thought it was something else. But then, you are very principled, so good for you.
hilarious that some people complain about other fans wanting entertaining games over 50+ contests with schools no one has heard of.. even more ridiculous is that we have such low standards to what a competitive OOC schedule looks like that a game against Marquette or SMU is news-worthy..
Ridiculous that most can't comprehend that our ooc schedule is generally not significantly worse than most other teams and one ore game would generally put it on par.
Top 4 games for both: Florida, Virginia, SD St, and V Tech versus Gonzaga, Purdue and Kent St, Davidson. I would give them a slight edge if we compared versus when the schedules were set. Virginia was part of the Jimmy V thing. Florida was B12-SEC game. Ours comparable games are Gonzaga/Purdue. So really we have SD St/V Tech (were projected worse than they did) compared to Kent St and Davidson, both who annually compete for a tourney slot in March from their conferences. Coming into the season, I would say the schedules were very close.
The rest of their OOC: North Kentucky, James Madison, Stetson, Bethune-Cookman, Richmond, Kennesaw St, UL-Monroe, Marshall (their Duquesne) and Eastern Kentucky. That looks awfully familiar. Richmond the best of the bunch, comparable to Morehead St RPI-wise.
I would say WVU's is basically 1 game "harder". If that. It's a shame the Gonzaga game didn't play out. Could have helped our RPI.

FYI, it wasn't a bitch, it was a statement, there is a difference....example, you bitch, I make statements
yet our program gets laughed at by national pundits and I don't see the same articles written about these other programs. Guess it's a witch hunt..
I asked you how many cupcakes we played, you said we played 7 cupcakes. I asked how many most teams played. You never answered.
do you want me to go thru every other team's schedule and list their cupcakes? I don't want to do that..
Then how can you have an argument comparing our schedule to other's then if you aren't even willing to look at them??
That's not what I asked you to do. Just swag it. Or just check 3 comparable teams. Heck, I just did WVU for you right above. Do 2. If you are going to say we are worse, shouldn't you at least know if we really are, or if we are, by how much?
I am over arguing about this topic, we've beaten this topic to death last week.. you win Kiwi.. Honestly, if every program treats their OOC as a 2 month exhibition season then shame on all of college basketball. 50 point wins don't do it for me, if it entertains you, watching pitt embarrass other programs you haven't heard of, you are a better fan than I am. I wish you well in all future endeavors kiwi, you are a prince among men..
Thought so. Great response by the way. You didn't make it personal, it was well thought out, fact based, no hyperbole or goal post shifting. It was a pleasure.
Is this goldberg fan's new handle?
The similarities are striking. This is probably his 20th handle over the last 2 years.
Couldn't be, spelling is too good. You're way off.
no reason for personal attacks, you're a pitt fan so good in my book. the hyperbole thing is a big deal, I tend to go overboard to support my point.. good debate, i'll relax on the topic..
