Not being negative but factual and may have been mentioned already but Pitt has now lost at least three games in a season since 1982, Even our ACC title year we lost three when KP opted out in the Peach Bowl and Patte got hurt. And I have been around for all of them and a few others but I am running out of time.

When I fell in love with Pitt and decided they were my team in the early 80’s, it was the best, yet worst decision of my life.
Then why did they keep score? Give out a trophy? Televise it nationally? Both teams show up and play?
They played the game because people watch it. People watched a boxing exhibition in big numbers on Friday too.
What was it about $80 million or so to the contestants in that boxing exhibition.
Ended up being a real yawn fest which really wasn’t that surprising or unexpected. At least the undercard bouts were pretty decent (decent being an understatement for the women’s bout).
Yea. People watch exhibitions. That doesn't mean Pitt/MSU counts....for me.
it sure did count, affected the rankings. Could have been a 12 win, top 10 season. Narduzzi should have put ego aside and kept Whipple through bowl game and got Pickett to agree to play by any means imaginable (i.e. a "bonus" NIL payment)
Oh, wow, it affected how sports writers rank teams? Doesn't get any more official than that.
