I might just have. Again, I'm not really sure what some of you don't understand about someone stating an opinion. Sometimes opinions are proven correct, and sometimes they aren't. No one is going to be proven anything unless Pitt plays Iowa. You are fully entitled to disagree with me. You aren't going to change my mind. Not even if you call me small.
I hate PSU as much as the next guy...

Interesting projection...
from the man who is trolling a Pitt board to celebrate a bad PSU winning a game.
Yep. You've got me pegged, bud. I'm a "Nitter." My two degrees from Pitt and my 20-year status as a Pitt basketball season ticket holder are just shams. It was all a clever ruse I concocted to one day express a negative opinion about Pitt hoops on the Lair and thereby bring down the entire structure of this board. You figured it out! Next I'm going to infiltrate the Cathedral of Learning. You can't stop this "Nitter!"
I didn't call you a nitter.
I said it was funny your projections of a troubled home life to those who found your trolling attempt- and subsequent adherence to a silly premise...
ironic.
Sorry, that's silly. They already played, why wait for the rest of the year? You owe him one week salary. You were the one who made the offer, not him. You need to do research before shooting off....
You already lost the bet. I'm sure if they meet in March Madness and ND wins, you will say, it had to be the regular season.
With all due respect, my opinion of the relative strength of Notre Dame and Iowa was as they are currently playing, not as they played in a meaningless, early-season tournament consolation game. That should be obvious to anyone with any reading comprehension. I'm sorry that you disagree.
so in other words, you used the PSU winning against a good opponent as an opportunity to pile on and take another shot at Pitt. We know who Pitt is, what PSU or any team does is irrelevant to that point.
I see the words, as written. You want to emend the deal. My comprehension is just fine.
Yes, your opinion on me is ironic given your content in this thread.
Proposing bets on a theoretical, which turns out wasn't.. And trying to wiggle out.
Seems like erratic attention seeking behavior...i hope things get better for you.
Yep, I took a shot at Pitt. You got it. I must have forgotten the rule that people weren't allowed to take shots at Pitt on this board. It's great that you know who Pitt is. I assume you also have the ability to ignore posts you don't like.
A negative opinion is fine.
Illogical analogies and doubling down when challenged is not.
That's trolling
You succeeded in getting attention. Congrats
What illogical analogies did I bring up? Everyone who disagreed with my opinion used the (obviously program-changing) win Pitt had over Notre Dame as evidence that Pitt had a better win this year than Penn State's win over Iowa. I disagreed. I also stated that I believed Iowa would beat Notre Dame right now (or any time later this year) as back-up to that opinion. Obviously, Notre Dame beat Iowa earlier this year. I think that if they played again, the results would be different. I also think that if Pitt played Notre Dame again this year, the results would be different. I fail to see any lack of logic in any of those opinions.
I believe Iowa would win. I never said that the better team doesn't lose sometimes. My opinion is and has been throughout the entirety of this thread that Pitt, as it is currently playing, could not beat a better team. Penn State is not a better team than Pitt by any measure, but beating Iowa was a better win than Pitt has had this year. That's all. That's all I said. Nearly 100 posts later, we are still discussing my original point and reading thing s into it that aren't there. Good way to waste a perfectly good Thursday, though.
Q
That's for starters.
Then you doubled down that ND couldn't beat Iowa.
Then you got ouchy when these stupid things were commented on.
And you're still doubling down on this failed premise
Have the last word...clearly, you aren't interested in being rational.
You made the analogy of PSU beating a Top team as an impossible reality for Pitt.

PSU has 6 ESPN100 players in last three years
Shep Garner ('14)
Josh Reaves ('15) Mono this year
Mike Watkins ('15) Academically ineligible this year
Tony Carr ('16) - Pitt offer
Lamar Stevens ('16) - Pitt offer
Joe Hampton ('16)
Future is bright in State College.

College basketball success is by and large dictated by recruiting success. It really is that simple.
So what will you're excuse be Saturday night if/when the nits lose at Rutgers? Iowa hangover?
He was showing us that random crap happens sometimes, and that he wishes random good stuff could happen to us once in awhile.
And that means what ? Where will they ne next month ? same palce they were last year. On the couch with you watching Pitt and 64 other teams play. Dumb post. But hey PSU will take you as a fan if you like their win and season so much.
Actually, I wish that non-random good stuff could happen to us once in awhile. The way Pitt is currently playing, I would categorize the wins at Notre Dame and vs. Syracuse (the only remotely "good" wins Pitt has had this year) and the near win against Miami in the "random crap" category. I also have little hope that any Pitt win for the rest of this season will look non-random should there be even one.
This is truly a classic thread.
That's fair. Now let's take a look at the results of the last five games for each team since that would be a good indication how they are currently playing, and you can opine on which team is truly playing better right now.
Notre Dame: beat Wake 85-62, lost at Miami 79-70, beat UNC 80-76, won at Clemson 89-83 and beat Louisville 71-66
Iowa: beat UPS 73-49, won at Illinois 77-65, lost at Indiana 85-78, beat Minnesota 75-71 and lost at UPS 79-75
It really helps to do some research and have the facts before forming opinions, not only with regard to sports, but in all aspects of life...

It's pretty funny that you think the NCAA tournament is a given for Pitt this year. Admittedly, it is an absolute no for PSU, but again, you're reading more into my post than I said. I hate everything about PSU. Honestly, I do. I also think their hoops program is a giant turd sandwich. I also think that their win vs. Iowa was perceptually a better win than any win Pitt has had this year.
At the time we beat Syracuse, fans here said Pitt had nothing to be proud of because Syracuse sucked.
It's also pretty laughable that you'd refer to either of those games as only "remotely good."
They did beat IU about 10 days ago.
I watch them from time to time. They have some talent and they do hustle. Now they lost to Duquesne by a wide margin, but the conference is strong. The OP sets an opinion with which I cannot disagree,
