f.) How tiresome is it to scroll down 12 inches for everyone of your posts such that we are now on page 3 and have only like seven posts on this subject?
GREAT STRATEGY! Pitt should be SMART and try to emulate that! I WANT ELEVEN WINS and a HIGH RANKING.
The issue isn't with PSU or ND, but with a team like Ok State. They bring out basically no additional crowd and likely prove to be losses. Plus, a school like Ok State barely provides notoriety, even if you do manage to beat them. They aren't a name, even when they are good. I mean, it is better than playing Boise State, but not by a major stretch. If we aren't playing someone who will fill the stadium, we are much, much better off just getting a win.
of all the detractors from my opinion in this thread, this is the one I could possibly agree with. I think if you are going P5, best to stick with a mediocre P5 program. Iowa and MSU when we caught them about 5-6 years ago was good, name programs that were decent but far from "unbeatable". We caught Iowa on the wrong year 2 years ago. Same thing with Nebraska in '04, real good "name" program that wasn't a power house at the time. that was the game with Walt where we were driving at end of game to tie but fell short. My boy Strong had a sick catch.
You shifting the goal posts again steel?
I lived in Carnegie, which was basically wiped out from that storm. I was in my basement playing college football all night, oblivious to anything. Next morning, hot as hell day and the damn point was covered, every 3 minutes a dock with 6 boats attached would come floating down the river. Nice boats too. Some pics of that flood:
this is what kind of annoys me about Steel Curtain and the other guys. They've given up hope on beating good teams and their primary objective here is to try and make an average team look good, thru smoke and mirrors. That's all this is, this schedule cupcake philosophy. It's basically getting a better record and hope people don't look too closely to the product.
in Johnstown we'd call that a puddle from some drizzle.......I lived in Carnegie, which was basically wiped out from that storm.

I used to think like you, but since (1) all the others do it and (2) Pitt administration won't back the challenge of a tough schedule with investment in great coaches (up and down the line) and juice for recruiting ... then I now say, F that.
And on every internet site too! Like ESPN, SI etc. You go to "scores", right in your face is "Top 25", and if your team isn't on that list you need to open the drop down list and click on your conference to find your team listed. If you're on the Top 25 list, 95% of fans and recruits don't know if you're 8-2 because you beat Arkansas and Georgia or Arkansas State and Georgia State, all they know is that you're on the BIG LIST!
I noticed that when pitt was playing BC a few nights ago. They had the records of both teams and just by the look of it, you'd think it was two good teams playing.
