Pitt's player of the decade for each of the last five decades?

[PittAU]

The year is designated as 1980, not 197-10.

So, is year 10, in years 1-10, part of the first decade, or part of the following decade? Because 1980 is the 10th year of the 1970s, as he said.

So, although "the 1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the years 1961-through-1970 comprise "the 197th decade" of the calendar, which can also be referenced as "the seventh decade of the 20th-century"

Same applies to the decades prior and post the 1960's.

Technically, Hugh green did not play in the 1980's decade. Thus, he is NOT a candidate for POD that decade.

The answer is part of the first.

Therefore, its first decade is from AD 1 to AD 10, the second decade from AD 11 to AD 20, and so on. So, although "the 1960s" comprises the years 1960 to 1969, the years 1961-through-1970 comprise "the 197th decade" of the calendar, which can also be referenced as "the seventh decade of the 20th-century".

With that I concur.

Where does Joe Schmidt and Dikta fit in?

I consider the "90s" for Pitt football to have ended with Johnny II... and the 00s to have begun with Walt / torch cut / dinocat. So for me, Antonio Bryant is a player of the 00s

That would make my choice easier for Fralic as the best player of the '80s.

I thought though:
Jan 00 - Dec 00
Jan 01 - Dec 01
J02-D02
J03-D03
J04-D04
J05-D05
J06-D06
J07-D07
J08-D08
J09-D09

That's 10 years. If a decade starts at '01 such as '61-'70, the very first decade would be '01-'10. Doesn't that skip the very first year '00 Jan-Dec of the very first decade?

AB has 2 of his 3 years after 1/1/2000 so I’d agree with this.

I think the 80s is so hard to pick because there was great individual talent on flawed teams. Marino suffered from converted RBs playing WR... Fralic suffered from RBs with fumblitis and incompetence at QB, Ironhead suffered from more incompetence at QB... on and on...
