Huge Game

[dr2011]

As a died in the wool Penn State fan, now a N.C. State fan I think this game is huge.

Since I grew up in Pennsylvania and have always been a PSU fan, it is the one game
that I want to win.

My brother, who is a "Pitt#1" guy says he would rather have Pitt beat UNC. I doubt
that.

Good luck Panthers.

Any Pitt fan or PSU fan that plays down this game is delusional. Doesn't mean much
in the grand scheme of things, recruiting or in any other way, but every Pitt fan and
any PSU fan over the age of 50 want this game more than any.

We remember the great rivalry that this game used to be

In reality, North Carolina is probably the most important game on this year's schedule.

Oh yeah. Who would you rather beat? Maybe the younger fans don't understand the strength of the rivalry. It was always the game that
either Pitt or Penn State fans wanted to win.

When you gather around the water cooler on Monday morning, your co-workers who are half PSU fans don't give much of a concern about UNC

I agree, for the ACC Coastal, but not for the ACC or In-State Rivalry, and future Progress of Building Up the Program:

1. Penn State-Make A Statement In-State & Region!
2. Clemson-Compare To National Top #5 Team!
3. Miami-Tough Talent To Take On Every Year!
4. OKSU-Another Narduzzi National OCC Away Game!
5. UNC-Must Beat UNC To Win ACC Coastal!
6. Virginia Tech-Top New Coach & Team!
7. Georgia Tech-Always Tough Win for Pitt!
8. Cuse-Historical & Now Conference Rival!
9. Virginia-Future Rival Same Size & All!
10. Duke-Tough But Beatable Now!
10. Marshall-Doc Holiday Wants Revenge Proving He Should Be Pitt Coach!
12. Nova-Over And Done & Pitt Won!

Are Duke and Mashall tied for 10?

Are

Are Duke and Mashall tied for 10?

I say so this year only because Doc Holiday really wanted the Pitt job, but Duke's Cutcliffe gives anyone fits that underestimate his Teams.

Times have changed. I'm looking forward to this game too but a W over UNC will be more important.

you always take a conference win over an OOC game but the psu game is important because we lose this one, it's looking like a 2-2 OOC record.. We need to figure a way to go 3-1 in OOC.. You lose psu and OK state, all momentum and duzzi love fest is gone and moans of "Same old pitt" will be ringing loudly in the burgh..
