Worst since 98' in my opinion. 2005 team actually looked very good in a few games against lesser teams. This team has largely been a total disaster. YSU and Duke were lucky wins. Rice might be the worst team we've played in 10 years. There has been almost nothing of redeemable value about this team. In 2005 Palko started out awful but then got better. We were excited for 2006. 2006 was a decent team that got tripped up by injuries and an odd schedule.
This team just isn't good. Very few young players to be excited about. The star players for this team are Hall, Idowu, Lopes and Whitehead (who is likely leaving). I never remember not looking forward to a Pitt season until Chryst's 2nd year. I had only mild interest for this season. I'm starting to dread next season. Barring something crazy, I'll be walking down the ramps out of Heinz after Miami, at my lowest point as a Pitt fan since 72-0. Even the 96 team won 4 games against a much tougher schedule.
