Someone posted the video of Pitt's win vs Ohio St with Gottfried

i watched the entire game. My god was that team talented. The defense had top notch players from across the nation. The scheme and coverage were amazing because the players were gifted. The atmosphere at Pitt Stadium was glorious that night. Nobody left even though we were blowing OSU out of the stadium. 12 head coaches later(including interim coaches) and we are where we are! Fans including students that suffer from PTSD I guess. Our recruiting is not where it needs to be. Pat Narduzzi is trying but unfortunately 28 years of getting raped by the admin and athletic directors put us in this position.

We need to stay the course. It was almost impossible to watch from section 132 last night with another almost collapse. But we didn't. Crappy opponent or not, we won. We should 5-0. With some different coaching we are 5-0. Hopefully Pat adjusts and stops gaffes such as that ill conceived fake fg, or being ill prepared for the onside kick.

Handing the ball to Connor on a 4th and one. But until then I will continue to support him, the team and my alma mater. Hopefully we can get back to having a dominant team with better fan support like that night back in 1988.

One can point to glorious games from any era. Heinz has hosted fabulous games, too. And as Gene Collier has pointed out several time, for pure drama the Pitt vs. Cincy game in 2009 was probably the best game ever played at Heinz Field, college or pro.

The atmosphere for VT games, WVU games and ND games has been electric, too.

You are right to suggest we stay the course. The administration is clearly all-in with their support of the football program now. Better times ahead.

My god was that team talented.

And they went 6-5 and didn't go to a bowl game.

The fan support was actually worse back then considering we had a Top 10 Program between 1975-1983. Just think - with all that talent they won 6 games.

1988 team was frustrating. They had four 1981-esque routs (59-10 over Northern Iowa, 42-10 over OSU, 42-7 over Temple, and 52-6 over Navy--and it's not like they always beat Temple and Navy in those years). They had a 1980-ish gritty win in Happy Valley (14-7). And they had an uninspiring win over Rutgers at home (20-10).

As for the losses...

- A WVU team that would play for the national championship broke open a close game in the fourth quarter and won 31-10
- Pitt had a 12-point lead at BC in the fourth quarter, but gave up two late TDs and lost 34-31. Freshman Curvin Richards had 202 yards, but lost a key fumble in the BC rally. Pitt also fumbled a punt return when it looked like they were going to run away with the game early.
- The Notre Dame team that beat WVU for the national championship won 30-20 on a Saturday night at Pitt Stadium. Richards and Darnell Dickerson lost fumbles inside the ND two-yard-line in the first half.
- At 6-3 after beating PSU, Pitt learned that it was not going to a bowl game. Two listless defeats to NC State and Syracuse followed.

So, yeah, frustrating...

I was at the Pitt OSU game that night. Pitt dominated the Buckeyes, John Cooper may have been their HC and they had a small RB, Carlos Snow may have been his name that scored on a PR or KR. The game was well out of hand in favor of Pitt in the 4th quarter and so not to run up the score against an overmatched foe Jeff Christy was inserted into the backfield and ran 8 or 9 times off tackle just to eat clock. The visitors side of the stadium was a sea of red, Buckete fans traveled well.
