Suffering

Laughable. You're not a fan; you're an observer. Observers get nothing accomplished and at the end of the day don't really aid anyone's cause. Keep observing. I'll keep rooting. That's not insanity ; that's called being emotionally invested in what's important to you. And guess what? If no one was invested emotionally inPitt sports, Pitt would be out of luck and should just shut the operation down, not that you would care- it's just another form of entertainment. You know, just like Bingo.
You're an observer to, by definition, clearly del...
As your wants and needs are constantly ignored, aren't they.

Your repetitive anonymous posts clear are only cathartic in nature, and not intended to drive change.
So, perhaps it's not us who are lacking perspective on this topic??
 
5 NCAA misses in 7 years will get him fired. No doubt in this world. However, he can still make the tournament this year which pushes it back. 5 misses out of 7 would be a worst-case scenario. Hard to imagine that happening but it could and if it does, he's gone.
Nope. We won't have to test your silly "guarantee"
 
You declaring ANYONE as irascible is a joke. You're not entitled to anything.....I never said you had no interest.....just no valid claim of influence. If you don't like the product....don't buy it.
I never said I influenced anyone . I said I had the right to express an opinion as to how Pitt should use it's resources because Ucontribute to those resources. Get it right, grumpy!
 
Quit it already, Del. I am emotionally and financially invested in Pitt sports for longer than you've probably been alive. I don't need to justify my attitude about Pitt to anyone, especially a message board loudmouth. Tell you what. You keep on being what you call a fan and making yourself go nuts over stuff that won't put a penny in your pocket or help you be a better person and I'll continue being a real fan, giving to the university I love, and buying my seasons tickets and attending every home game and some away games, while enjoying myself. No matter how screwed up you are, you can't take that away from me.

And don't get me started on what's important. From the sounds of it, you're not in any position to comment on that in a sane fashion.
You're invested? But you're telling me that I shouldn't be emotionally involved in something I support. You keep spinning your story every time I show you how idiotic your last stated position was. You're dense as hell.

To what end (posting angrily and repetitively on the board)? I think in the end, souf will have been correct.

What a surprise, you agreeing with the board antagonist. Shocking. Guy literally calls posters dumb, stupid and other lovely words and you say nothing. I reply to Hail's comment and here you come, Knight in shining armor to defend him from my criticizm.

Yup, you are a real phony. You and Souf are made for each other.

You continue to describe yourself when you try unsuccessfully to describe me. I'm dense as hell????? It sounds like you're the one who is dense as hell. Go ahead and be emotionally involved. I am and I admit it. I just don't act like a baby if my team isn't winning or I perceive the university isn't using their money the way I would like them to use it. I also get over a loss about 5 minutes after it happens because I understand that these are kids playing a game and they are doing their best. Besides, I have fun watching college basketball. I knew that Pitt was going to lose that game at about the 15 minute mark of the second half. But I just sat there and watched a great UVA basketball team play the game as I like to see it played. Life is too short to have this angst you seem to have over sports. Take the best of it and enjoy it.

Del knows what he is talking about. Too bad you don't.

Oh, so you're in the same camp as Del, I see, describing yourself as not knowing what you're talking about while trying in vain to describe others. There's a lot of that going around here. Must be contagious.

Please quit with the childish criticisms that both you and Del are so good at and let others have their opinions and live as they want. It isn't your mission in life to push your beliefs onto others. Besides, you're doing a poor job if that's what you're trying to do.

I am always consistent. You, not so much.

You must be schizophrenic because you've now come full circle from "gee it's just entertainment" to I I'm really emotionally involved but just not so emotionally involved( because I'm so cool and mature)enough to give a hoot about the outcome of the game or the general direction of the program. Life must also be too short in your case for also holding the ex-chancellor responsible for his acts of cronyism.

And then to top it off, you come on a sports blog board to lecture real fans about their being too intense about the team they support. Do you also visit churches and advise people of the evils of spirituality? You're in the wrong place preaching your sermon, buddy.

You don't gain a right with that.
You gain the option to not repeat that, by voting with your wallet.

Of course, as this site is not affiliated with Pitt.. You are seemingly confused about the proper avenue for your communication of your opinions.
 
Well Jamie Dixon gets paid millions of dollars of year to "ENTERTAIN" us and in recent years he hasn't been very "ENTERTAINING" to say the least. What are you talking about??
And if it's just entertainment why have Pitt fans been pining for the Football glory days? Mainly since the post Marino era? It works the same way in other sports...No, we dont have any Basketball NC's in the modern era, but we were closer to getting there five to seven years ago than we are now.

You know, poke, it's funny but there have been many times that it's been my suspicion that Kiwi and Souf are the same guy. Souf's views are so off the wall, that's is too much to be coincidental that a single person would actually support his viewpoint more than once every decade!

No, you seem to be confused. This board is an avenue for opinions. This isn't a proxy for your weekly pysch. session with your mommy and the shrink.

You're the guy who came on the board launching stones at posters expressing their disappointment over the plight of the BB program, which is natural under the circumstances for people who think Pitt hoops is more important than Wednesday night Bingo. Now you're a free speech advocate when people fired back at you. You have the depth of thought of a third grader. You have no business chiding anyone.

I hope they do too. It seems a shame to waste the talent they do have. Contrary to what many believe, there is still talent on this team. However, they need to become mentally and physically tougher and work together as one unit on both O and D.

There is at least 1 breakdown by a player on just about every possession.

Then on O, either James or Mike holds on to the ball too long. At the start of the year, Mike handled the double perfectly and kicked it out as soon as the double would come. Now he either back pedals away from it or let's himself get trapped and passes too late. He's trying to do too much.

You can't blame Young. You blame the other 4 who are just standing around. They are complicit in this meltdown too.

You should go to the political board. We never agree. Besides, his wife and my wife would be entirely shocked to find out I/we are maintaining two households. Just one more thing for you to add being wrong about.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest Del. When Hail called it just "entertainment" I was shocked and called him out on it. Good ol kiwijeff then tells me he is entitled to his opinion (same thing souf would say). I've given plenty of "opinions" which have been criticized on here and never had Jeff aka souf stick up for my right to give opinions. Souf is never right though, he just antagonizes posters just like Jeff does so yup, they are the same. Good analysis Del.

Wait so that means 1 person has over 50,000 posts on a message board!!! Damn.

I was calling you out because you recently told someone to leave someone alone and not criticize them just because they had a different opinion (so it's not only exactly what souf would say, but you too. Maybe all 3 of us are the same person in your mind). Then you went and criticized someone for their opinion, which was different from yours, the exact opposite what you told other guys. I figured a person with a 140 IQ would have seen that, my mistake, I should have known better. You see absolutely nothing.

The day you actually stick up for me in ANY capacity will be the day I start believing anything you have to tell me on this board.

You fight your own battles. If you act like a putz, why would I defend that? When I agree with you, I will, even publicly. When you act poorly, you are on your own. I wouldn't expect anyone else to defend me. My words and opinions are my own, right or wrong. Nobody need defend me.

I don't attack posters. I attack behavior. I agree with del a lot too, but not always.
 
That Fiesta Bowl was a fluke....and Pitt was ranked about #30?? How'd we do in that gamE??
Jamie's best years made Wlat's look like garbage. Walt was 52-44 at Pitt, best year was 9-4. NEVER had a winning % over 70%.....anywhere. And the BE was generally regarded as a weak FB conference. Dixon is the winningest coach in BE history...around 75% in probably the toughest conference in history.
We were just talking about their last 3 years. Fiesta Bowl was not a fluke, Pitt was clearly the best team in the Big East. Now whatever you want to say about the Big East, that is what it is.

As for careers, I 100% agree with you. Jamie is the winningest coach in the history of the toughest conference we've ever seen. His career is a billion times better than Walt's, not even comparable. But just comparing the last three years, Walt got fired after doing something that was the goal every single year, no matter how they ended up there. I more than anything want Jamie to say here forever AND win here, but his last 3 years have been horrendous disappointments, that's all I meant by it.

Oh, it was a complete fluke...
Four way tie, which took tiebreakers.

Maybe if we actually beat Syracuse.. I'd buy it. or didn't need a goal line stand to beat temple or double ot to beat furman.

And I went to the fiesta bowl.

Utah really just was that good. Pitt was nowhere near that level. But they beat WVU and BC. The 4th team in that tiebreaker was Syracuse, and them beating us was actually the fluke. To be honest, I called into the radio the second that game was over and said Harris needs to go now. That loss was all on him and that can't even be argued. But the guy on air specifically asked me, "would you still fire him if Pitt goes to a BCS game?" I said yeah, that loss was pathetic, we should've won, he completely blew it. Well, that all ended up happening.

I don't disagree with you, just what you and others call a fluke, I just amount to the Big East being what it was. Not even getting into how weak it had just become that offseason, you just can't avoid a logjam of ties with that few of teams. No, Pitt was not on the level of the other BCS teams, I agree with you and others there. But they definitely deserved to go much, much, much more than the other 3 teams in the Big East.
