How awesome would it be if Narduzzi

[Sean Miller Fan]

opened next year's press conference after the win over PSU (they lose Barkley, Gesicki, Hamilton, and most of their D) saying, "we know last year was their Super Bowl, for us this was just like Albany."

Narduzzi and Franklin's relationship reminds me a ton of Dabo and Spurrier. Frenemies with little jabs at each other. I love it. Rivalries are great.

Big Ten is a dumpster fire, and Jimmy sucks!

Bama, Clemson, USC, Oklahoma will be the Final 4

If we win I wouldn't care.

Ya, stoop down to scumbag level..... no thanks. He's paid millions of dollars by Pitt to act like a professional and win football games. Act like you have some class and respect for your peers.

Not very.

Narduzzi and Franklin don't actually like one another though, so there's that little problem with your theory.

Meh. Only interested in the win. And there's lots of work to be done between now and then to make that happen.

That would be fine except that Franklin's replacing the D with kids with a lot more potential than the ones leaving (Hansard, Gross-Matos, etc). Until last year their defensive recruiting left a lot to be desired. That's no longer the case.

Their OL has 3 Sophs, 2 of which are in their first full year as starters. Who cares about Hamilton? The guy they have coming next year (Shorter) could start for them TODAY. I'm not saying we can't do it...but it will be a tall order. The Pitt faithful will have to come out in full force to support us next year...and the Duzz will need to do the his best coaching job.

I agree the rivalry is good. Franklin can say its not a rivalry all he wants. They both have to keep the heat on to recruit the WPIAL. Narduzzi and Franklin are good for each other. They'll never be buddies. But they both will have to be at their best to keep ND, OSU, and Michigan from plundering PA.

Losing 7 starters on D plus Barkley and Gesicki, and to a lesser extent, Hamilton is tough. Sure, they will still be good, but I'd expect us to win. We have 9 starters back on D, 3 on the OL. The big losses are Weah and Browne but I'm not sure how big those losses are.
