Ohio State already dominating Pa.

Southern Columbia's Julian Fleming (5*) commits to OSU while taking a few shots at the nitters.

Of course, PITT was never in the picture.

Ohio State is a Blueblood and the best program north of the Mason Dixon line for the last 20 years with 2 national titles in it's pocket and multiple big ten championships over that span.
You're right, Pitt was never in the picture. Why might that be?
Seems to me three decades with at least 3 losses per regular season is the culprit especially when compared to a program that shudders at the thought of 3 losses.
Building a foundation isn't sexy and not so long ago we suffered the ignominious status of most coaches in one season.
So unless you can work miracles, you're just going to have to deal with the thankless job of building a foundation.
5 star players rarely look for anything but sexy.
And OSU isn't dominating Pa. They never have. But they certainly put players in the pro ranks and that is what 5 stars want.

I'm only kidding. This one probably stings. The part about "instability" is interesting. Could be about the coordinators but I'm wondering if other schools are floating Franklin's expectations versus his salary/buyout. Plus he's only under contract til 2022 at the moment so a kid starting in the 2020 class doesn't exactly have confidence that he will finish under the same coach. It's interesting that he hasn't gotten the token 2 year extension.

Oh stop. He wasn't PSU material, they didn't need him, have a better kid lined up....
So word is, during his visit, he disrespected the "S" in the locker room. Kid was awful cocky. One of the Captains got all up in his face and a fight ensued. Afterwards, he sat down with Franklin and Franklin gave him a list of super secret "character builders" that only he would monitor. The kid failed miserably and Franklin pulled his offer. So technically right but they "technically" didn't lose him either.

Your hands burning from the crack pipe...
 
So when did we become the Incan empire? All they had to do was get one top guy and the rest crumble?? OSU is arguably one of the best 3 programs in the country for the last decade. Top players go to Bama, OSU, Clemson. It’s a big reason why they remain so good.

Hmmmmm this sounds like a LeSean McCoy spin from Nittersville... Ha! Good one!

Buckeyes just flipped PSU OL commit Grant Toutant

If the Nitters lose any two of three games against Ohio St, Miichigan, or Mich St Franklin is gone or they will be planning his execution I mean exit.

If PITT can knock them off this year which is entirely possible plus two losses in the BIG10 to any of the teams above and Franklin will be looking for a job.

Franklin will end up coaching a BIG 12 football program!

Pitt will be a double digit road dog.

Let’s be realistic.

We lost a ton of offense... and our defense peaked at below mediocre last season.

Of course PITT will be a underdog.
The Nitters lost a lot of key players as well!
New QB.
McSorley will be difficult to replace.

I think PITT will be better than most think!

And of course you The Glass Is Half Empty Guy would predict a PITT loss regardless of the player situation.

I predict a PITT win or a very close game!

It's just down the road from us so Mrs Buffett and I will be there.

Will you?
Funny most of the "windbags" in this thread won't be at the last Nitter game.
The "windbags" know who they are!

No
I have no desire to spend any time at penn state.
Particularly to watch a loss
 
He's most likely one of the top donors up there so of course he has seats.

That was a good one from the guy who a while back claimed he was a D1 recruit and went to the AF Academy. You think you're one of the smarter Windbags on the board! lol!

I bet you go to no games!
You buy no tickets!
You donate nothing!
As I've said before you can meet Mrs Buffett and myself inside the stadium on the ground floor of Heinz field.
Don't worry little pittdan77 Windbag there's lots of people around not to mention Heinz field security inside the stadium. Mrs Buffett won't hurt you if you're nice to her. LOL! She's small but has that Colorado Cowgirl ranch tough style to deal with. LOL!

I just got my PITT ticket office email about season ticket delivery information.
My email was dated 6/3/19 when was yours dated.

You Windbag!

Here's how I see things:
We have a returning QB Pickett and he has to be better than last season.
We lost RB's but have 4 talented RB's who as a group will pick up the slack.
Our LB's were never D1 material and IMO we improve in that position group.
We have good depth at OL and DL we'll atleast be as good as last season.

WR's same as last year just like DB's.
Saftey up in the air but Ford must be a step up!

Overall atleast as good as last season.
+ Whipple+

Nitters have a complicated transition to a new QB, new TE, WR's and they lost a star RB, and alot
of key guys on the line!


Sure they have other talent but Franklin hasn't been one to develop talent IMO!

We play them early++

Wait, you want to throw down with me? Boy, I don't know. You're some kind of super athletic, bicycle riding, golfer guy who gives advice to billionaires and will be juiced up on $2 beers from PNC. You sure you want to risk your Dos Equis endorsement deal on me?

After thinking about it no!
That would be a waste.
I do like that commercial and I should get that spot?

And all of those things are true except I'm not a super athlete anymore I just do a lot of stuff to stay in shape, keep the heart beating, since I have the time and so Mrs Buffett doesn't get the big prize to early in her life. She'll have plenty of opportunity to disconnect the oxygen tank down the road. Sorry detective I thought I was turning the O2 tank on??? On and Off look so similar detective.
See how that works.
I hate making pool boys rich and comfortable.

Mrs Buffett is the super athlete I just tag along at her events!

I don't give advice to Billionaires I take advise from Billionaires.
They Be Smart!

Well anytime you want to meet inside the stadium just let me know. We do go to games!

This might be one of the best responses I have ever heard on the boards ever. Great Job.
