Update on Pitt-PSU Series

[psugisher]

Wait, so football is the economic engine of State College that's value is central to the community and it's identity?

Just make your point if you have one. I explained why Penn State schedules one quality non-conference opponent and why it shouldn't be the same one every year, nothing more nothing less.

 

[perchance]

The Catholic church has covered up far more than Penn State has. No college identifies more with the Catholic church than Notre Dame. Should Pitt have anything to do with them? Should Pitt fans worry that this year's nationally televised game with them could cause some to miscomprehend, er misapprehend, Pitt's relationship with them?

Apples to oranges: False comparison
.
No such crimes as occurred at Penn State occurred at Notre Dame.

I did but you keep talking about home games like they are critical to the financial survival of Central PA (and it's sense of community?) because I can assure you, as a resident of the area, it is not.

Not at all. It just doesn't fit the agenda of some on this board. I mean really who will watch the Pitt-Penn State game and "Misapprehend" the relationship between the two schools?

That's fine if that's how you interpreted what I was saying but it sounds like you wanted to interpret it that way, not that you actually tried to understand what I wrote

Embarrassing? To who? Obviously not 4 and 5 star talent who is flocking there. No one cares anymore about the Ped scandal except Pitt fans. And it isn't helping us.

"Nobody cares about the scandal" yet HBO just put out a movie about it?? Gtfo

They concentrate on recruiting and they have excellent recruiters who are paid millions.

No... but we should not be associated with Pedophile State, as they are a complete embarrassment.

No Pitt fan should want anything to do with them.

And Tom Bradley is a god awful football coach.

 

[jtownknowitall]

How does playing Penn State associate us or anyone on their schedule with them?

Perhaps Pitt should move its campus out of Pennsylvania.

Well, I did try to get further explanation but you dodged my questions. Hardly a failure on my part.

I hope it is a pipe dream. When the current series was announced in the midst of the Paterno/Sandusky/PSU pedophile coverup scandal I had a number of friends across the country who questioned me as to why Pitt would align themselves with “those creeps.” ( meaning psu). I will be glad when Pitt no longer has any association with psu. I am concerned that this year’s nationally televised game will cause viewers to misapprehend Pitt’s relationship with psu. Pitt would never stoop to exalting the importance of football over the welfare of children. What other immoral choices did jo pa make in promoting his “success with honor?”

Learn your facts. There was nothing that you allege.

 

[PittMiamiRivalry]

Attendance problem solved: Be 10-0 for the last home game of the year and play for the ACC title. We don't need Penn State, Notre Dame, or West Virginia. We drew 62,000 vs. Cincinnati in 2009. Play for stakes and the fans will show up. Think about it. Cincinnati would usualy draw 35,000 at Pitt Stadium and Heinz. Playing for a title and the stadium is a sell-out.

For Penn Staters considering attendance at this year’s game at Heinz Field, bear in mind that pitt athletic supporters will be combining hours of binge drinking with a massive inferiority complex. That obviously is a bad combination.

I want the Pitt-PSU series to keep going but it seems like it’s not gonna happen. They have their plans and we have ours. Besides, it’s gotten way too vile and overheated. Maybe a break is warranted.

If you read my post in another thread, we should only play one P5 opponent (a rival) and fill the rest with FCS/G5 teams to pad the record. WVU wants to play us, PSU doesn’t. Let them be unrivaled. I’m all for getting the Brawl started long-term. Fill the rest with Villanova/Tulane/Georgia State and that’s a great out-of-conference slate; Very winnable. Besides, that’d get us a few extra home games per year, meaning more revenue, although I wouldn’t be opposed to having an excuse to travel to New Orleans or Atlanta
