Barnes coming clean

[NTOP]

who said anything about majors or howland. ironically both did leave though due to the culture but at least they built something successful before they left. Don't have to limit it to Oakland, just maybe someone that won't go back home when their 83 year old mother gets older..

This view of the world makes myopic thinking seem grand. It's a pinhole view of the world. And it's part of the provincial thinking that holds Pitt athletics back.

But I'm sure it makes you feel better to take a shot at an 83 year old woman. Good on you friend.[/QUOTE]
you and I are doing something weird with our quotes..[/QUOTE]
Neither of those guys left because Pitt was a bad culture. Majors has frequently said he made a mistake leaving Pitt.
Both left for home areas, to schools with better resources...and both did pretty well. Pitt was a huge upgrade for both of them,,,,the upgraded when they left.

Why can't we root for the coaches we have at Pitt right now , I want Duzz and Stallings to both win big here , guess yinzers can't comprehend

LOL. Says the guy who couldn't smear Matt Canada enough after Week 1 of the season. Please do tell us more how NC State fired him solely for being crap at his job.

I was not happy with his second half play calling , it got better as well, so did he , and I was wrong , and I can admit that. You know what's funny, you jagoffs been on Stallings before game one. Hypocrite

Check my post history and find one post about Stallings to my credit. I was underwhelmed by the hire but never said anything.

Your post history on Canada speaks for itself. Sure, you were only critiquing his play calling....Post after post categorizing him as NC State's garbage.....

The only hypocrite here is you.. Support the coaches indeed!

You got that from the single mention that says she was a "former basketball player at Utah State is dealing with a medical issue" in the same sentence that mentions an 83 year old woman getting older? Oh, it also fails to mention she lives in Pittsburgh and attends Pitt, not Utah State and not Spokane CC.

Did you "actually read the article"?

They also say life changed about 6 months ago due to a mediCal issue. I'm assuming that is their daughter. It changed their outlook on life.

And I still don't get your obsession with her being at pitt. She may be the one that wants to go back west to be closer to family.

Barnes quotes that his plan was to stay at pitt for the foreseeable future and that all changed over the summer.

I don't think you are reading the article at all. You are stuck on two things that really are insignificant in this whole thing.

It actually says "in the last six months, 12 months" which just so happens to line up to when he talked to Washington and before the mess with Stallings. Are you reading the article? I don't think you are reading the article at all.

I'm reading the article. You are focusing on inconsequential things to support your agenda.

Economics seems to be a weak link with some of these people

I am quoting the article. I have no agenda.

True. But you gotta admit that the "pharmacy guy" verbalized a lot more enthusiasm for Pitt athletics than we heard emanating from the Cathedral of Learning in a loooong time.

The pharmacy guy was a vice chancellor the past decade.
People just don't pay attention.. he hasn't need a pharmacy guy since 2002

Yep...that's why I put the term in quotes. There is that tendency to stereotype people according to their training and/or profession - for better or worse, but usually worse.

Jaimie had to go, he was doing NOTHING here but going in reverse! If you can't see that or don't want to see that , then go follow TCU, he is beating cupcakes there as well, and losing to the good teams. Pads his record , but in reality, accomplished nothing at Pitt for 5 years and counting

Gets it.
