The pg twitter just retweeted garths original article

If Pitt fans annoy Garth so much, he should stay away from Heinz Field 10 September 2016. I hope the AD shows some real nuts and withholds media credentials from the PG for the PSU game. If they want media credentials, they can get them from the team they cover--Penn State.
The Trib should be announced as a game sponsor as the official newspaper media source of the Panthers, and McGruff the Crime Dog should come out between quarters to tell kids and adults to call 911 when they witness sexual abuse.

This tweet should eliminate any doubt that the PG is anti Pitt. They seem to jump on any negative story related to UPMC and Pitt.
I do think Pitt needs to make a statement and withold media passes to the PG "sportswriters" other than perhaps Zeise. I also like the idea of workig with the Trib to have them be the offical paper of Pitt sports as someone mentioned above.

The fact that they get so pissed over 9 national championships is hilarious and frankly immature....SI did that study... And sorry Ped but football existed before 1966....and sorry Ped but you have only 2 both with a Ped on staff...and just like other programs like Michigan or ND Pitt had national titles before you...sorry you don't like it Ped...but that's reality...you might want to try it someday ...PSU hasn't been relevant in years so it's all glass houses at this point anyway
You're giving the tantruming child the attention he wants.
With lots of free publicity and advertising to boot.

Withhold media credentials from the PG for the Penn State game???? No way. I want them to be there for the ass kicking their boys are going to get.
We canceled the Sunday PG last week, no green plastic bag in the driveway this am, instead the read plastic of the Trib.
Ron cook and the other PITT haters... FU !
UPS is jealous of PITT since one of our coaches did not rape young boys & our administration did not cover it up! I get that
Your comment made me think of Ron Cook about a year ago when he went off on a radio show caller and said Pitt fans are so jealous of PSU. I almost ran my car off the road. Exactly what are we to be jealous of?
Paterno coached those games asswipe. But he's dead. We have NO fear of Franklin. ZERO. Deep deep down, you'd trade Franklin for Narduzzi in a heart beat and we all know it.... Your jealous ass is WORRIED or you wouldn't be here... Can't wait to stomp ass on 9/10
Yeah, just we want is money and privilege dictating content in the press.
Our press helps keeps us free, folks, even when we disagree.
I disagreed with this them publishing that drivel, wrote to them, etc. I think personal objection and making choices where to spend your money is the way to do this.
There was college football before Joe Paterno? I thought the game in general was another mythical Penn State creation.
No, I have found that for some reason, only Pitt's are questioned. Nobody questions Notre Dame's either.
Because the Nitters know that they will never approach anywhere near nine National Championships of their own, and in fact will probably never even see a conference title again. So the only way that they have to make up ground, in their pitiful pathetic minds, is to try and denigrate the National Championships that Pitt has. That's what they have to do to make themselves feel better.
The nitwits are jealous! They don’t question Minn , ND or any NC from history but they do ours! If they go down on 9/10 the state will have to put centre county on suicide watch!
Yeah. If any of my school's titles were linked to a scandal where a pedophile roamed lose on campus and at bowl games, I would rather not have any. But I guess my priorities in life aren't as warped as some.
Its the same with wvu fans, they laugh at Pitt's titles because the last one was in 1976, like we shouldn't count it. But I'm sure if they had just ONE and it was in 1889, they would be touting it BIG time.
Alabama's are questioned....almost entirely by Auburn blog sites.
In fact some schools, like Texas A&M, have recently added to their claims based on the NCAA records book.
Pitt has been consistent with its claims at least since 1970, because it has consistently relied on that SI compilation of all-time national championships dating to 1967. Pitt has not deviated or added to these claims, with the exception of the unanimous 1976 national championship.
However, Pitt has one title in its list of claims that could very much be questioned: the shared title of 1934. This one appeared in the SI compilation and is credited to Parke Davis' selection. Davis was the most noted football historian of his day and the editor of the annual Spaulding's Football Guide... which was the most noted football publication of the era. The problem is that Davis died before the 1934 season, although the 1935 national champion (which Pitt shared) was picked for the 1935 Spaulding's Football Guide using his byline (as it was thereafter after until 1937). The NCAA's Official Records' Book only recognizes Parke Davis selections actually made by him (e.g. through the 1933 season). However, the SI study, and Pitt's claims, predate the NCAA's compilation of championships in its records book. Additionally, the 1934 season's most of recognized champion, Minnesota, actually beat Pitt in Pitt Stadium that season. So 1934 is very questionable, although the rest of claimed 8 have strong historical legitimacy (as much as these things can).
Does that mean Pitt has only 8 legitimate national championships? Well, no, the 1910 undefeated and unscored upon team is recognized as a national champion by almost every compiler of such championships, including the NCAA records book. Pitt has never claimed 1910, because it has only ever relied on the SI study. So, just swap 1910 for 1934 and you are back to 9 (and this is exactly how College Football Data Warehouse lists the 9 national championships that it recognizes for Pitt). Of course, these 10 seasons (including 1934 & 1910) do not account for the SEVEN additional unclaimed years that Pitt has been named as a national champion by other independent, third-party selectors of national championships (of those 7 years, 1980 and 1981 are also listed in the NCAA records book for a total of 11 listed Pitt seasons).
And don't tell the WWII veteran who can recount watching Marshall Goldberg's exploits while at school, and who continues to sits in from of me at almost every Pitt home game, that these pre-war titles are not legitimate.

I just realized that his article was actually written to earn the credits he lacked for graduation from State Farm.
Actually it's sad. I saw a PG truck deliver the WSJ to Starbucks the other day while having to leave their Kittie litter paper in the truck. No one wants that rag.
