For the "Pitt travels well now" crowd

[Sean Miller Fan]

Explain this:

The Pinstripe selected 8-4 Wake Forest, who will sell 457 tickets over 7-5 Pitt.

They also selected 7-5 Duke over 8-4 Pitt in 2016.

I guess the Yankees dont like us.

They clearly around worried about tickets sold. Probably just want a different team in the game. Will be interested in seeing the ratings of when Pitt played there compared to Wake.

The Yankees don’t like us, the Southerners don’t like us. Heck, half of our own fanbase doesn’t like us

Don't forget the refs. They don't like us either. And not just football refs. All refs, every sport.

The volleyball refs had it out for us last night!!!

It's not always tickets sold. Jezis. Sometimes these bowls want different teams, different matchups. We just played there a few years ago..... Here's a better way to resolve it, don't tank at the end of the season every year.

No. The Yankees want to make the most money they can. They arent a charity. Their selection of Wake is very odd.

UNC to Military. Pitt to Quick Lane.

Pitt played in the first football game ever in the old Yankee Stadium. 3-3 tie vs Syracuse.

Think the conference doesn’t have any say so?
Kind of like how Pitt got the Sun Bowl last year by being Coastal Champions

As it is, disappointed fan bases don’t travel. I wouldn’t expect Wake to bring a ton of fans either, but Pitt wasn’t going to match 2016 numbers
And it may not matter anyways with Michigan State as the opponent to buy what Wake doesn’t sell

Did they tell the Pinstripe to take 7-5 Duke over 8-4 Pitt in 2016

I'd imagine michigan st fans are disappointed, but they will travel.

Pitt played Northwestern in the Pinstripe in 2016
And Duke went 4-8 that season

I guess you’re talking 2015
All I can say is Pitts 2016 Pinstripe bowl outdrew Dukes 2015 by all of 900 people, so I guess Duke playing in that game didn’t hurt the Yankees that much

Tough to make an accurate comparison unless you know how many people each school brought.

I remember Barnes saying Pitt preferred Annopolis? For what it’s worth, Giglio I think said wake was pushing for NY and unc did not prefer military so who knows. Maybe bowls, ACC rotate honoring requests lol.
