It seems you’re befuddled about what you’re actually saying , per usual. Dementia.
You claim the MaC is actually good because ND lost to NIU .
Which is silly
And in no way related to how terrible a team Kent state is .

Such a weird back and forth.
One poster was dumbstruck how a team can be as bad as Kent State.
I pointed out that Kent State is the worst program within the MAC. And the MAC is bad conference. So when you’re the worst of the horrible, you don’t have much of a floor. So it’s believable that they could be that bad.
And somehow we were off to the races based on such a throw away post.

It was a platform to deride Pitt. Kent State is awful and Pitt kicked their ass. Nothing else about Kent State is relevant to Pitt. Who cares if they lose every game this year?
We've only played two games, and they are one of them. If you are trying to evaluate how good we are, how good the two teams that you've played so far matters.
I mean I agree that if your analysis of the team is never going to go deeper than, "win, good, lose, bad", then sure, Kent doesn't matter any more. But most people care a little more about the team than that.
But the back and forth hasn’t been about Kent State.
They would at least make sense.
Where did I say the MAC was good anywhere in those posts? You continue to be confused.
You also seem confused. But your attempts to diminish a 31-point win are the starting point of the discussion.
To be fair though, the only reason you think that is that you don't understand context.
Does the average P4 team go 67-50?
I'm laughing at someone who thinks there is something called a P5.
I didn’t start the thread about Kent State losing to some nobody. I didn’t make the post dumbstruck about how Kent State can be that bad. I merely responded to it.
How can my post possibly be the starting point of the discussion?
Kent state is a terrible team .
Their losing at home to St Francis of Pa
Demonstrates that
The only alarming part of the pitt game was how we surrendered 24 points to that bad team .
3 quarters at cincy demonstrate the defense is suspect for pitt
Thankfully the offense bailed them out .
Pitt played a lot of guys against Kent, tbh. So I don't know.
Without some desperation plays (going on 4th an 1 in the 2nd quarter, just throwing for the end zone down two scores to an NEC team [which at least makes sense]), Kent left about 10 points on the board against Saint Francis. They also missed a field goal, so they could have realistically scored 13 more without actually playing better fairly easily against SFU, who actually does have a pretty stout defense for their level.
Definitely cause to think the Pitt defense is questionable after the first half in Cincy, but I wouldn't put too much stock into using Kent as a comparison here.
Any post can kick off a tangential discussion. Why bother to post if the post says nothing. You obviously intended something with your post and I reacted to it.
This isn't a hard concept.
I was there in my west club seats .
You weren’t .
Kent state is a terrible team .
Bad enough they just lost their first home game
To a NEC school .
Yes. Intended for the post to explain why Kent State is able to be so bad, which was the point of the post to which I responded.
That’s not what people are amused by in this thread. It’s how you took that post and turned it into a discussion on the MAC based on Northern Ill beating ND.
“How is it possible an FBS team can be so bad?”
“Well, when you’re the worst program in the worst conference, there isn’t really a floor to how bad you can get, which is why they lost to a saint.”
“Go ask ND.”
I get you don’t see which one is the dumb post looking to take the thread down a dumb back and forth, so I’ll let others take it from here if they feel like it.
All I know is that I'll be at Saint Francis on Saturday. I won't be there for football but I'll be there and that should kinda matter.
That is irrelevant to the fact that Pitt won. Pitt beat the team they played. That's the only thing that matters.
Whether I was in your seats is also irrelevant. I watched it from the comfort of my sofa and then watched the following games without leaving my house. It was a pleasure to do so.

I sat next to a dude who played football for St. Francis in Quantitative Methods at Pitt. Given the fact that he could barely walk, it never made me think much of their football team. He was also about 5'10", if that, and played on their o-line.
He liked to draw certain, um, things on my computer by coloring in Excel boxes. I didn't learn much in that class.

You're the one who added the MAC to the discussion. I merely pointed out that a MAC team ranked 100 spots behind ND (in The Athletic rankings) beat the #6 team in the country in an away game. That would seem to contradict your demeaning of the conference.
I know. Was wondering what parking was going to look like but I have to be there by 7:30 AM or so for a volleyball tournament. Imagine I'll be fine.
Worst home beatdown since the National Guard came to town....
They get about 1000 people this time of year. You'll be fine.
Central Connecticut isn't a huge draw? There might be more people there for a thirty team, high school volleyball tournament.
Its funny though, that after the Kent game, most posters came running to the board saying yeah Kent sucks, lets see what they do with a Big 12 team that have the same or better players as Pitt.
Now the narrative is the Bearcats sucks, a bad team with no players, lets see what they do against WV. And then some of you wonder why you get questioned about an idiotic comment/statement.
If Pitt beats WV, people will run back to the board claiming now that WV stinks, and who have Pitt beat? Well from all the outlandish statements made on this board by you same posters, Pitt sucks, and will probably only win 3 or less games this year. Bunch of tools.
Who was arguing Cincinnati was good before the game?
I think people were arguing that they were better than Kent State. But I don’t think many people thought they were good before the game or would be a real test. Just a better test than Kent State.
Or some of us said -
Show me what the offense does the next 3 games - and then we will believe it -
Because Kent state is actually terrible .
Thankfully the offense played 20 minutes of the cincy game very well - after the first 40 being very bad .
Of course , defense is still a big question mark in both games
67-50 is a .573 winning percentage. Last year, P5 teams (yeah, dumbass, P5 teams) including Notre Dame went a combined 509-378, for a winning percentage of, wait for it, .574.
67-50 is exactly the kind of record that an average P5, and now P4, program would have.
Once again, you have no idea what so ever how to put things into context.
Cincinnati was the worst team in the B12 last year, and they are expected to be one of the worst teams in the Big 12 this year. The fact that people thought that they had players as good as Pitt isn't a good thing. At least not for a Pitt fan.
The only people who thought, or think, that Cincinnati is a good team are the ones who are making idiotic comments/statements.
Their qb was pretty accurate -
But with WRs beating one on one coverage downfield regularly - it helps
Speaking of context, there is no P5 anymore.
Let's talk relevant context. Is Narduzzi average in the ACC?
It's OK for you to sometimes admit that you had no idea what you were talking about. It's not like the rest of us don't already know.
Over his whole career he's probably slightly above average. Hooray for us, I guess.
