Now that the Pitt-Tennessee series has ended, what SEC team would you like to see Pitt schedule?

[cbpitt2]

I'd pick South Carolina or LSU. Two nice road trips out of that.

No Pitt fan can state that the recent home-and-home series with the Tennessee Volunteers called the Johnny Majors Classic was anything but a success. Each team won on the road when they clearly had…

I’d take Mississippi. I hear The Grove is a fantastic pregame experience.

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

That's a good question. Tennessee was the perfect cross between getting to experience a cool, drivable environment and playing a team with some historical clout that wasn't completely out of our league at the time.

I honestly don't think there is another SEC opponent that could be that ideal. If I had to pick one, give me Florida. Probably a pretty even matchup for now, and their environment seems pretty cool, even though werewolves are afraid of heights so I wouldn't be flying to it.

It's not a good time to catch them, but I'd really like to see us do a home and home with Michigan, if possible. Obviously they're not in the SEC, but I think it would be cool.

Our schedule is tough enough....give me Vandy and a weekend in Nashville.

 

[RaleighPittFan]

Ole Miss.

Yeah, #57 in the nation with only ten P5 teams behind us was a doozie.

 

[Dan1911]

Vandy. We don't need senseless losses.

 

[PITT 76]

I'd work hard on trying to renew a series with Tennessee. They're a school close enough to drive to with a good history. I, also, believe it's the best school to produce a good crowd in Pittsburgh.

If I had to choose another SEC team, it would be Georgia. However, at present, I think that would be a foolish decision because it probably means another loss. Pitt needs to become a top 10 team again before it considers a Georgia series.

Tennessee is definitely the school I would work on.

We have a long term contract with West Virginia. They're in the SEC, right?

None of them. There is no good reason to schedule OC on that level. We will surely have one very strong OC game without them. That is enough. Schedule success, not failure.

NFL

 

[MarshallGoldberg]

None. We already play in the south enough. I'd like to play one of the following (plus a rival/Notre Dame on the Notre Dame years, a G5, and an FCS game): Rutgers, Maryland, Michigan (we've haven't played them since 1947!), Northwestern.

I used to hate this approach, because the ACC is weak already and, at the end of the day, this is all just entertainment.

But with this NIL bologna, you might be on to something. If teams like freaking Maryland are going to try poaching our recruits, we might need those 3 or 4 OOC freebies.

 

[PittFan717]

Michigan please

 

[Dointhatrag]

Auburn

 

[upj87]

Vandy. We don't need senseless losses.

GT and WMU just called and asked if you have been a Pitt fan long? I have Toledo on hold.

Were Youngstown State, Ohio, Akron, Bowling Green, and a UNC team that won two P5 games in two years (both against Pitt) not taking calls?

 

[kma0043]

Gators. Script helmets match up. Florida will never travel to Pittsburgh though.

 

[upj87]

Auburn

The "they suck now" scheduling strategy rarely works...half this board whines about scheduling who they consider to be the Bama of the Ohio River, the Cincinnati Bearcats, but forget they were a middle of the pack 7-6 AAC school when they were put on the books...

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

I've always thought about how similar our uniforms are to theirs. Basically, you're just swapping the yellow and the orange "sun colors" out.

why not?

 

[Gunga_Galunga]

Besides Tenn, I would say South Carolina and Kentucky. They are Pitt like and drivable so we'd represent well, and have a chance to win. I had enough of Ole Miss fans in Birmingham.

 

[pittmeister]

Vanderbilt - I love Nashville….

 

[Slick Manager of Champs]

Vanderbilt - not a real difficult opponent and get an excuse to spend time in Nashville.

Ole Miss - would love to experience the Grove, but travel to get there probably isn't easy.

Tennessee - I messed up by not going last time, didn't realize that Gatlinburg was so developed and would have made for a nice trip.

 

[Zeldas Open Roof]

kentucky or lsu.

Texas

"Probably" a loss? That's gotta be the understatement of the year. They didn't even come out strong and still beat Georgia Tech by 4 scores.

Easy LSU at night.

We would beat GT by 4 scores...(I would have said at the beginning of the season)

 

[boseman7]

Renew a Texas A&M series or Kentucky or Vandy or even MissourI. The only SEC teams that Pitt won’t beat are Georgia, Bama and LSU. The rest of the SEC is beatable.

 

[yourhired]

South Carolina or Kentucky

 

[UPitt '89]

Kentucky, Vandy, or South Carolina. All drivable in less than 10 hours.

The obvious answer to me, too …I wouldn’t mind seeing the “Johnny Majors Classic” become a fairly regular thing…though I know it would have the gravitas of the River City Rivalry, it’s still the kind of goofy fun stuff that makes college football cool.

I had a good experience dealing with every Tn fan I came across, and usually that can’t be said.

 

[Dan1911]

I'd like to set up series with Maryland, temple, navy, UConn and get some easy games and Ohio MAC teams and visit areas within our footprint...and the usf, cent fla type schools.

All wonderful SEC schools.😁

This would also be my preferred choice (after Mizzou for obvious reasons). Friday night on Broadway sounds like a lot of fun.

 

[Pittgolf1971]

None. Akron. James Madison. UMass. Etc.

What is wrong with you people. In 4 years from now will you remember we lost to Tenn? No. You’ll remember we were 8-4. Could be 9-3. Quit scheduling hard games. We need PSUs football scheduler.

 

[pittmaninwv]

Arkansas.

Houston Texans.

South Carolina for a reasonable game that is easy for most Pitt fans to drive and is a cool atmosphere.

LSU for the diehard Pitt fans that can make a week of it.

Georgia because in five to ten years Pitt will be due for their top five upset win against all odds.
