Assuming we beat Miami, a major endeaver for the school(Miami, Fla.), where are we bowling and against which team? I say the Pinstripe Bowl against Maryland, a team we rarely play. Discuss....

The Sun Bowl is one we have no chance to go to. There have only been 2 played since we were last there and those locals want different teams.

If we win, Pinstripe takes us or Syr.

If we lose, probably Annapolis

Lyke was supposedly talking to Sun Bowl reps at the Duke game, which may not mean anything. Kind of funny that, after last season, we would be showing up there with an anemic offense again. Doesn't Duke have a pretty big contingent in NYC? Maybe the Pinstripe would want them.

They have bandwagon basketball fans, yes. There are 13 Duke football fans in NYC. I think the Pinstripe takes Syracuse if they beat BC and maybe even if they dont. My money is on Annapolis

Doesn't mean anything. They just wanted a free trip to NC and feel important
 
I’m case you guys don’t realize it by now I’m f@cking sick to death of Miami… sick of their hype … sick of the bullshit… tired with excuses….sick of losing to them ….sick of Miami in general … the Miami loss in 2021 was far worse to me than WMU last year… completely bullshit… fake interception that wasn’t caught at all…incorrect call on a safety… f@ck Miami already!!!

Win the f@cking footballing game!!!

There have probably been reps from all the bowls that we might get picked for at several different games. I mean if you are a bowl rep, what on earth do you have to do with your time other than to fly around to various college football games and schmoozing free food and drinks.
 
Florida is a hot recruiting bed for us. Wanny was able to get the Miami/Florida kids because of his coaching days with the Dolphins.
Blades our former linebacker would have also been a good choice for honorary captain. i used to talk to him when he lived on Bouquet street in Oakland- Pitt guy he was.

I believe Duke played in the Pinstripe or one of the other NE bowls when the ACC had more bowl qualifiers than bowls. They got picked by emphasizing their large base of successful alumni in the New York area. Then, they sold less than 100 tickets ftom their allotment.
 
Beating Miami does nothing for our bowl chances. I don't think it makes us look anymore attractive to any other bowl eligible team in our conference. I think we end up in NYC or Boston regardless. Outside chance of Birmingham or Annapolis.
 
Bostick just said on his show there is no chance for Fenway as it interferes with finals . I like military bowl . And remember you may see any number of players opt out
 
I’ve seen many projections for both Pitt and Wisconsin to the Pinstripe bowl (although the Pitt Wisconsin has rarely been the exact matchup predicted).
Playing the Badgers would be fun. Brand name and definitely winnable.

They showed last years Miami game on ACCN on Thanksgiving. Flipped over for a little and watched. Man, the offense was fun. Couldn't stop that stupid wide receiver screen. Miami out "athleted" us that game. Still it was there for the taking. Lost Mack for the year that day. And Pickett to Addison was something special.

Didn’t we have a linebacker who got pulled for blown coverage and he quit the team that weekend. ? Wendell Davis?

Pretty much the only big mistake Kenny made all season last year was that INT on the last drive against Miami.
 
Fenway bowl off the table, going to Louisville. McMurphy updated and now says Holiday.
Yes, Holiday vs 9-3 Oregon.

If that ultimately turns out to be correct, Pitt would be about a 10-point underdog if Sagarin's computer has its rankings right. And that probably would result in a fully disappointing end of season for an 8-5 final record.

Well at least the weather should be nice in San Diego for those who would travel to the game.

DId you hear Narduzzi on the post game interview this past Saturday night? Lol. He's still pissed about that safety.

On the flip and glass half full side, a win would assuredly give us an AP top 25 ranking and I think our season could be considered a moderate success.

He was right on Fenway. Probably right on the Rose. Pitt in the Holiday makes sense. He had UNC in the Holiday and us in the Gator but I would imagine that both the Gator and Holiday would prefer UNC and that UNC would prefer the Gator. This leaves the Holiday Bowl to decide between Pitt, Duke, Wake, Syr. Kind of an easy choice.

If we can bring Cristobal back to Oregon to lead the Ducks bowl prep, we might stand a chance.

It's mind-boggling that the last time Pitt played in a Florida Bowl game was the 2001 Tangerine Bowl.

No its not. How many southern bowl games have we even played in the last 30 years? Southern bowls dont take Pitt unless they have to (Birmingham, Charlotte).
