Pitt Playing Yale Next Year in OOC

[Pittbaseball11]

Per a tweet from Brian Batko. It will be the senior year homecoming game for NA grad Anthony Dallier.

So the current OOC is:

Yale (Home)
2-3x 2K Classic assigned games (Home)
2x games against 2 of SMU, Michigan, or Marquette (Neutral)
Duquesne ("Neutral")
B1G-ACC Challenge (Away)

Looks like 5-6 games left with one likely Home-and-Home series scheduled to balance out the ACC-B1G home/away years if Dixon and Barnes are to be believed.

I really hope the folks who aren't fans of our OOC schedule don't complain very loudly about the two 2x classic home games, as these are likely to be "soup cans."

Right. This year, for instance, Pitt was assigned Morehead State, Eastern Washington, and Western Carolina as part of the Gotham Classic. So I certainly wouldn't get my hopes up that these will be in any way relevant games.

Someone still will, they will seem some low school and beef, but this is our toughest OOC in a while, and probably will be in the top 30 nationwide. Yale won the Ivy, so they are no schlub.

Good mid major, I know they lose some scoring from this team but that's the kind of team that won't hurt the RPI but should be a win.

2-3x 2K Classic assigned games (Home)

The 2K Classic home games will be against 2 of these teams:
IUPUI, Eastern Michigan, Gardner-Webb, or Howard

 

[California Panther]

but this is our toughest OOC in a while, .

Also add that it will be our toughest ACC schedule to date also with the H-and-H's next year being the regulars SU and UL, plus UVA and UNC! Wow!

This is an outrage, how does Pitt expect me to buy tickets if these are the garbage teams Barnes and Dixon are going to go out and schedule to come to the Pete?

 

[Chairman Moe]

IUPUI and E Michigan would clearly be the better of the two, but neither game would come close to filling the Pete

Also add that it will be our toughest ACC schedule to date also with the H-and-H's next year being the regulars SU and UL, plus Miami and UNC! Wow!

This says we play Virginia and UNC home and home which is even tougher.. Miami the next year
