Maybe the VT fans didn't show because they were playing PITT. Maybe we are not a good draw for the home teams.

This is true. And after halftime, when 3/4 of the black seats are still empty, it doesn't come off looking nearly as bad. You can barely tell they are empty.A couple of places that I noticed a ton of empty seats the past 2 weeks were Tennessee, WVU, VT, Arkansas just to name a few. I’m not making excuses for pitt, but the yellow seats make it so much worse. At the beginning of the Steelers game Thursday there were still a few spots of unoccupied seats and they easily stood out among the 65k or so that already made it to their seat for kickoff.
The people of Pittsburgh just asked Kirk Who?this is an attack on the people of Pittsburgh, not the University of Pittsburgh. Of course many wont see it that way.
I think you are severely overestimating how many people in the country actually heard that or really spent much time thinking about it.Fowler and herbstreit chatting up next week. Miami at Pittsburgh
"The canes should take care of Pittsburgh in front of all those yellow seats".
On national tv.
The ridicule has not been this bad since Johnny Manors II....losing 72-0 to OSU
We have become a national punching bag.
And they’re both telling the objective truth.Fowler said that, and Herbie responded with "and there will be a lot of yellow seats."
I attended numerous games at Pitt Stadium in the 90’s that had less than 20k people. Students didn’t want to walk a quarter mile from their dorms or frat houses. Stop the nonsense.
As Mick Jagger and Keith Richards said "Paint it Black" the seats I mean!They’re right. It sucks but it’s true. We need to have a better product to sell
Pitt was worse in the 90's then they are now......

Student section was full for the first half.I was in Blacksburg today, very lucky to get out of there with a win.
The students went home yesterday for Thanksgiving and that contributed to the less than impressive showing attendance-wise.
Herbstreit is a tool. Wouldn't worry about what he says.
Maybe Herbstreit should focus more on being a faithful husband and father and less about Pitt’s attendance.
It's nowhere in the same universe as the 90's. We certainly have more than our fair share of ultimate drama queens on this board.It's close , next year will be telling
I don't like them saying it. Just pointing out that some Pitt fans are a little too thin skinned when they get criticized. There are billions of people in the world that have no idea about our yellow seats.WBR,
This sounds like an excuse to me. Not trying to stir the pot with you, but c'mon man. .....
Any Pitt fan that was watching last night heard this and it stings. Any opposing fan that has been to HF or watched on TV is smirking.
And for the millions that watched last night and dont care....they still heard this.
This has to be a first in televised CFB.......announcers discussing the empty seats at a game that has yet to be played.
Yeah, it’s a national conspiracy against us.Duke gets 10k in a 30k stadium, even when they're a good team... and nobody says shit.
Miami gets 20k in a 70k stadium last year.... and nobody says shit.
UCLA has 60k empty seats in the Rose Bowl... and nobody says shit.
I was at VT today... and they had 15k empty seats, for a 7-3 team that was ranked all season.. on senior day and perfect weather.... and nobody says shit.
But Pitt gets 25k the day after Thanksgiving when they're having a 4-7 season... and people say shit.
It's boring, old, and nonsense.

I'm telling you right now... "in front of all those yellow seats" is what gets Narduzzi fired. Hope he pats himself on the back for not only alienating the local media but his fanbase.
