I've been to every game Pitt has ever played at Heinz. I can still count on the fingers of one hand the number of Pitt home games I've missed in the last 34 years. Try again.

That is certainly the fantasy you have constructed. The lower level visitors side had row after row of completely empty seats. The home side did as well, although not as many. Look at the view of the crowd on some of the videos on ESPN and tell me that the home side was anywhere close to 100% full or the visitors side was anywhere close to 80% full.
Well then, I can only conclude you do very poorly at those guess-how-many-jelly-beans-in-the-jar games.
--Is it my imagination, or do opposing kickers NEVER miss a FG against Pitt?
--On the other hand, will CB leave Pitt with the record for hitting the uprights?
--We missed a ton of tackles today and Miami made us pay big-time with lots of yards after those misses. They were a bit faster than us, but we still missed tackles that should/could have been made.
--NP has problems completing short passes when he is on the move and ad-libbing. The ball always seems to sail high, plus he putts too much steam on it... Needs to work on that for next season.
--I don't understand you guys complaining about Avonte M. It's not like he's giving up any easy scores. I think he does a pretty darn good job for what he's asked to do - and he's a tough sob...
--Disappointing game today, but still a super season - and much future promise.
--The attendance debates get so boring...
Go Pitt.
For the record, the official attendance was 40,126. I don't get the impression that Barnes plays the games that Smiley did. I think 40,126 is a pretty accurate number.
Opposing kickers are 24 for 25 against pitt this year. It's an amazing stat, considering 9 of the kicks are over 45 yards.

Opposition coaches coming into Heinz should take note of 2 things...
-- rarely if ever, punt the football
-- anything inside 70 yards is FG TERRITORY....especially into the South End Zone
Are you a child? Not everyone that thinks our recruiting hasn't improved makes them a penn state fan. I hope penn state loses every game. Youre a cheerleader. Rah rah rah. 3 nationally televised games on real networks and we were way behind in the first half, that can't happen.
Hill, Sanders flipping, you should worry about that, And you are paying 4 million for a record that is less than Pitt. Ha.
The arguing about 35/40000 fans is just a waste of time ,this is Pitt . You want the place full you have to win and compete at a national level anything less this is what your going to attract period. This means recruiting better and no matter how good the staff is its not going to happen overnight.
Pitt team didn't quit. They lost, but they went out fighting unlike Miami who laid down & quit on their coach during the Clemson game.
If you watched the game on tv & want to complain about attendance, but live within 2 hours of Pittsburgh take a good look in the mirror because you are part of the problem.
1. Any game is as close as the score says it is. Try telling a bookie that the favored team you bet on really beat the snot out of the other team but the score didn't show that. It's a 60 minute game, period.
2. There was no exaggeration of the attendance. 40,000 or somewhere around there was clearly what it was.
3. Let's not over exaggerate Miami not scoring a legit TD. Very close, but it did look like on the catch his foot was just in bounds. On the other hand though, the Kayaa called TD run was not even close. To even think that might have been a TD is plain foolish.
4. I'm probably more disappointed than most people about the loss. I absolutely hate losing. But look at the bright side, at least we're not Penn State.

This talk about not scoring a legit td is laughable
They were scored , reviewed and upheld.
Also .... Do you people think the ball was just placed on the inch line or in scoring position by suddenly dropping out of the sky there ??
Got a clue for you Miami worked the ball there.
Miami won that game by kicking Pitt in the tail for more than 50 minutes when to its credit Pitt played much harder and better than Miami for a couple series ..and a kickoff return
