this is why you play wvu every year. this is a rivalry. this is why you should play psu every year (yeah, i know the blame on that goes to psu)..
this is what makes college football great.

Give me the Backyard Brawl every season!
I agree, but get ready for the jagoffs to tell you we don't need to pay PSU and they don't care about them and they can just barley stand WVU.
yeah, they won 9 games and have their qb returning. big 12 pre-season rankings i've seen all seem to have them in their top 5 or 6 of the conference..
optimism is high. but you never know, it's why they play the games on the field. but not going out on a limb here to say that we will be underdogs in our game with them.
My dream scenario is they knock off PSU. Riot, burn down Morgantown. Get ranked in the top 20. Then we 13-9 them.
I'm glad to hear this...that said, I doubt this is due to pitt selling more season tickets. I would guess after 3 wins ticket sales are down. This is just pitts way of trying to encourage more season ticket sales which is a catch22. It might force some to buy season tickets only to do the usual and not show up for the other games.
Why would this year be any different than the last 40 years?
The exhibition win vs UNC's 2nd string doesnt count. Here's the 8 teams they beat:
Duquesne
Pitt (3-9)
TT (6-6)
TCU (5-7)
UCF (6-7)
Cincy (3-9)
BYU (5-7)
Baylor (3-9)
Incredibly, they only played 2 of the Top 6 B12 teams and lost both. One of the more favorable schedules you'd ever see. I
Lost by a combined score of 107-54 to those two teams and also lost to 4-8 Houston. I’m sure their wide-eyed optimist fans could go on some tangent about why they’re going to be so good again though.
Still - the improvement they made from 22-23 compared to the drop off we had from 22-23 is really annoying. And it seems like suddenly we have a lot more question marks as a program. Both success and failure can be very fleeting in this sport though.
At the end of the day, this game should be played every year, and in a perfect world, we'd be in the same conference.
I wouldn't bet against Pitt and WVU being in the same conference again sometime within the next 15 years; but if it happens, it will be far from a perfect world scenario.
I don't like doing this with Penn State, because there are at least some fans of theirs who will buy the season package and let the other six games go to waste.
With WVU, you don't have to worry about anybody obtaining enough money to do that. Don't think you can get a reverse mortgage on a whiskey-soaked tent.
