Lipscomb beat TCU
- Thread starter DiehardPanther
- Start date
St. John's beat VCU, which is about as equally relevant to our Panthers at the moment.
Did somebody piss in your wheaties? They just flashed the score and I posted it. I will be watching the Arizona game next as well, and will probably comment on Ryan Luther. Am I allowed to do that, or are you the only person allowed to comment on people with previous ties to Pitt?
Oh no. That is a big enough upset to be discussed here, especially when it involves our former coach. And yes. It is hilarious
Point taken, but every thread that mentions anything about Jamie Dixon, pro or con, almost always inevitably ends up being a dumpster fire before all is said and done.
Posts about Ryan Luther don't seem to have quite the same impact.
This board has been more lively and agreeable as of late. My hope is only that it stays that way, at least for a little while.
Dixon did a heck of a job while he was here. A lot of good memories. But losing to Lipscomb by 9 jumps out a bit, especially when it is flashing on TV during a game. No harm meant.
Oh ... I have no doubt that you meant no harm, nor did I really. But I just cringe when I see any Dixon/TCU post.
Jamie is our best coach ever. What he does elsewhere, good or bad, will be talked about by Pitt fans forever. That's what fans do.
I get it -- just tied of the arguments it always creates.
Agreed. Now does someone have to start a TCU thread every time they win? Every time they get a recruit?
Lipscomb returns five starters from an NCAA tournament team.
They'd beat quite a few power 5 teams.

Until a coach comes in here and exceeds what JD accomplished here all future coaches will be rightfully compared to JD . Let's hope down the line they will all be compared to JC !
PS... why anyone gets pleasure out of JD losing is beyond me after all he was forced out by the greatest AD of all !

This one of those classic Jamie RPI manipulation games. Lipscomb will probably have an RPI in the Top 100-150 and are a decent team but they'd finish dead last with a terrible RPI in any major league.
You do have the choice of not reading posts with Dixon or TCU in the title.
Why is any of this important? We're going to lose a lot of games this year, and that is more relevant than TCU losing one game. If we beat anyone on our league schedule, it will be an upset. We have no room to talk about a pretty good TCU team being upset in one game. They'll probably be in the NCAAT and we're not going to any tournaments this year.
I get it. It’s essentially the same with politics these days. This site had a political forum which functioned off on its own with minimal trouble. But then when politics filtered over to the main boards, things would get toxic. There was no need for Chris to remove the Locker Room. It was a place where such things were discussed. Politics was just something he needed to police on the main boards. Maybe he should create a Jamie Dixon Forum to keep these boards free of all the poison.
In any event, I think the Dixon thread is pertinent. Just as Ben Howland ones are too. The lipscomb loss is one he never seemed to have at Pitt when he had good teams.
No - but I think it'd be fine if someone posts for discussion every time TCU wins a game of significance, just as it's fine when someone posts every time they lose in a major upset.
I wouldn't have noticed they had lost, as they games around the holidays are hard to keep track of, IMO, if it hadn't been posted. I usually follow TCU scores, just as I usually follow Miss. St. scores, just as I will probably one day follow CCAC scores once Stallings takes over the helm.

I don't doubt the relevance as you and others have stated. In fact, I agree. But the "poison" was my worry. This board is just started to get fun again.
The Jamie Dixon Forum seems like a GREAT idea.
I just look forward to the days when there is much more to discuss in relevance to Pitt's chances in the NCAA tournament as opposed to anything TCU is doing.
I just dont get the hate. I dont like reading these lol. Hes gone. I follow him but dont like to put on board anymore. Hes got a young team with more 4 stars than he ever had at pitt altogether. They will be better at end of year.
DiehardPanther, You don’t owe anyone an explanation. We know Dixon did a heck of a job with lots of good memories. If DT is going to get upset or sensitive that’s on him. He does not want JD brought up but responds 10x in this thread. It was a big upset of TCU and you stated that. Not like you bashed JD.

The locker room wasn’t created as a political board- Just off topic.
It evolved into a political debate forum- starting decent debate but became the refuge for several who can’t post without invoking politics.
Which became boring and toxic
