Miami has almost always given us fits because of their speed and today should be no exception. Sure we might score 30 points (maybe) but I can easily see Miami beating us by 20 or more. Our defense is terrible and they have some fast fast players.

Hope I'm wrong but that's what I am expecting. Anything different would be a nice surprise.

If we.. PITT wins.. Will your topic be.. PITT poker likes to spark controversy..
 
If that's the case just drop the program. Miami is not good. Some great athletes, good QB, but it just hasn't come together for them. If we don't turn it over and get at least 1 turnover I think we win easily.

Although this is Pitt we're talking about, I'm not saying at all that you're wrong. Anything could happen with this team. I have more faith in narduzzi than any other coach we've had though to not go out and get embarrassed.

Well I for one am shocked that you would have such a negative outlook going into the game.

Hope you're right Pittx9 but speed has always killed us. I don't think this team can hang with Miami, even losing 4 in a row. We'll see but I think we get blown out.

I just can't see us getting blown out by a bad team because I think our offense will do their usual thing. Now stopping Miami.... different story.

I fully expect them to score damn near 40 points on us, as usual this season. I think this would be a really, really bad loss though so I'm hoping we can pull out a 49-45 victory or something like that lol.

The part where you stated that they have "some great athletes, good QB" is enough to scare me and lead me to believe that Pitt will have to score points on each possession to win this one.

Agreed. I just think that they will. Our offense is legit one of the best in the country.

I am predicting a loss but I don't think this game is unwinnable. The teams are fairly even. They may have more speed but we seem to have some advantages up front. The key to me is going to be turnovers, special teams, and penalties. We can't afford to have disastrous unforced errors like we did against VaTech. That bad first quarter cost us that game.

You ALWAYS have that feeling.
 
Please don't watch or post then
What happened to you man? I used to really like you and your posts. In fact you were 1 of my favorite posters on here, along with recruits, pittx9, DT, Del, TD and a bunch of others. All of a sudden I see you start liking insults about me and now this? Yeah I am a glass half empty kind of guy and wish I wasn't. Doesn't change the fact that Pitt has not been good for over 3 decades, including this year. If you care to remember, last year I was excited like everyone else about Narduzzi. However we didn't play well most of the 2nd half last season including the bowl game and there have been some questionable issues with his stubbornness this season that I believe have cost us games.

Look, you want to join in the bashing of me on here go ahead. I just thought much higher of you. I don't care if the usual haters attack me because it's par for course with them. I never expected you to start doing it.

Hey, guys, don't worry though. Even if Pitt does get beat badly today Poker will be here to bitch about it every step of the way.
 
Well in Poker's defense, we are 3-17 in our last 20 meetings against Miami. That is over 4 decades.
He loves using irrelevant past information like this to say Pitt sucks and is destined for present and future failures. By that same logic, Pitt claims 9 national championships and Miami claims 5. So Pitt should dominate right?

Miami is favored by 6.5 and should win. But using stats from the dark ages of Pitt football in the 80's and especially 90's (versus the golden era for Miami) isn't really useful in predicting today's game.

Poker, I apologize if it seemed I attacked you. but if you are this miserable before the game begins, then why suffer?

You're right, if we stink up the place you damn right I will be "bitching". If we play well I will be complimentary just the same.

It's not just this post, all of a sudden I noticed you were liking posts that people wrote directly insulting me. I was surprised because I always thought you and I got along well. I don't remember now the specific ones but they were pretty bad and you liked them. Then this post this morning and that's why I responded to you.

I am not miserable, just not very hopeful with this team right now. And honestly, I blame Narduzzi for his stubbornness to at least try to change the pass defense as a main reason we aren't undefeated right now or at most 1 loss.

Facts are your friends. Oh, wait, they aren't your friends. But most peoples.

The take away is that the consensus line has bounced between 4 and 4-1/2 and 5 this morning. It was 4 yesterday. It was 3 on Thursday. It had been either 3 or 3-1/2 since places actually started taking bets on the game.
I was in Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday and 2 different sportsbooks had the line 6.5. Again you don't know what you are talking about as usual. But in your mind, you are Knute Rockne in the 21st century. Joe knows all and everyone else is just a peon in your world.

So be it, you say that for every game, and if it happens, we will know you were wrong 8 times and right once so far this year again!
