I can guarantee that coach Fuente reminded these kids of a sea of yellow at Heinz Field.

I mention this because some posters on this board refuse to acknowledge that this is a significant problem and justify this by comparing us to Miami and Southern Cal.

Anybody looking at this objectively would compare our situation more to Boston College than to Southern Cal.

Pitt football checks all the boxes except for this one. If we can't figure out a way to fill up Heinz Field I don't see how we will consistently get top shelf recruits.

Which translates into a 9 win program at best instead of 11 wins or beyond.......

Honestly, I am looking forward to the day of a nine win season. Once Pitt returns to that level, we can worry about the next step. Although your point about attendance and fan support is obviously valid. Hail to Pitt!

VA Tech did what Pitt needed to do, and that was go to the conference Championship game. They put themselves in a better position for recruiting.

We also were the only team in the nation to beat the National Championship (not to mention on the road in a place very few teams have one in the past 5 years)...I would find that more impressive as recruit than losing to the national champion in a ACC Championship game

No, on field results is irrelevant to more pertinent facts like attendance.

So we should be out recruiting clemson and Penn state.

They both had better seasons than us. One was in rose bowl and the other won national championship. Real bad post my man.

You said head to head only matters.
