Was sitting between two nitwits...

If you want some good excuses, head over to BWI. WOW. The irony is lost on them again and again and again with all the indignity of not being chosen for the CFP Playoff. Good stuff.

Everyone is just jealous of Penn State and what they stand for.

Yes. Windber is a divided town. Many sane [Pitt] people but way too many Insane [Nit] people. It was very nice for a few years when guys like this stayed under their rocks where they belonged. Now they are out again in full force.

I always found it ironic that with UPJ only a few miles away, there are so many Nitters in the area.

We really shouldn't be surprised. While Pitt football was repeatedly shooting itself in the foot - and wallowing in 30 years of mediocrity - the Nits had some respectable football years. People do tend to gravitate toward winning programs. (e.g. Why else would the Steelers be so popular? In the early 1970's, I couldn't even give away [free] Steelers tickets.)

This time I would agree with the Nit fans-the southern teams always have an advantage in those bowl games as the west coast teams have had in the western bowls. When you add some injured players to the mix, the Orange Bowl was a home game for FL ST. We will have to wait and see what happens in the Rose Bowl.

Oh, I see. That must be the reason the Big 10 schools lose to lesser ranked PAC 10 schools most of the time

That seems to be the talking point of the Nits this holiday season. I've heard it a few times already here in the Harrisburg area-like suddenly, just this year, the bowl locations were determined and none are in PA. eye roll. And my in laws actually think the Rose Bowl is played in USC's home stadium. I had to correct them. It's always something.

There would be heaps of bowls in PA if not for the pedophile supporting creeps occupying much of the land between Pittsburgh and Philly.

Can you change your handle? I think you are confusing the folks that are okay with pedophilia.

Were they Windberites if so Im disappointed

 

[phxpanther]

I speak Nittanyese. They were just saying that the southern and western teams have a built in homefield advantage because they are playing...at home...

What advantage? This isn't 1925, teams aren't taking a week long train ride to these games.

So Michigan had to be on a plane what two more hours than FSU? Oh what a huge disadvantage.

Both teams have to stay in a hotel for a week plus. Both teams have a large crowd for the game.

What's the advantage??????

I always found it ironic that with UPJ only a few miles away, there are so many Nitters in the area.

Joe Paterno's first recruit as a young assistant to Rip Engle was Windber legend Ron [Link] Younker. Younker went on the share the backfield with Lenny Moore and still has at least one UPS punt return record. That was when a lot of locals got on the Nit bandwagon.

And they brainwashed their kids who then brainwashed their kids.

Well stated.

at a local club today. They proceeded to start talking about how Michigan almost beat FSU. Then the conversation turned to something that I had never thought I would hear from any fan of any school who knew even one iota about college football.

One nitwit starts complaining to the other about how unfair it was that Michigan had to play in Florida against a Florida school. That stunned me right off the bat and before I could interject some wisdom into the conversation he continues on bitching because UPS has to play in California against a California team. Then he said he thinks those teams should meet halfway. All the while the other guy is agreeing with him.

I started to explain to them what a Bowl Game was but after 2 or 3 words I discovered that there was really nothing I could say to save this conversation so I finished my beer, wished everyone a happy new Year, and slunk out the door in disbelief of what I had just heard.

It's always that way with Nitters. They live in their own world while the rest of us just shake our heads in disgust.
