Your right it really sucked . I’m not sure how all those coeds were able to get the stadium !
Did 3/4 of them leave after the 3rd so they could get an early start on their 25 mile trip back to Coral Gables?

Even up by over 30 pts and knowing it would take an hr to get out of the parking lot hardly anyone left . I think it was the free drinks in parking lot that kept them there .Did 3/4 of them leave after the 3rd so they could get an early start on their 25 mile trip back to Coral Gables?
Money....you get what you pay for.......that's what Pitt can learn from that situation. Pitt will have to overpay for a proven HC due to 40 years of ineptitude and indifference to FB....sooner or later they will recognize this.
Good thing Pitt only specializes in 2&3 * !73 - 4 and 5 star recruits in FL
14 in PA
Next Year
37 - FL
3 - PA
Just like in real estate - it is all about the LOCATION. Trying to compare The U to Pitt is idiotic.Good thing Pitt only specializes in 2&3 * !
NC State went 5-7 that seasonThat garbage NC State team had a guy named Russell Wilson at QB, clearly a proven bum.
No , it shows that hiring the right coach is possible . Miami’s program was in disarray not that long ago and now they are deservingly #2 in the nation . Every major school in the country is recruiting kids from Fl and that includes Pitt and Miami . If Pitt was a better program they’d get more kids out of Fl , Ohio , NJ , NYJust like in real estate - it is all about the LOCATION. Trying to compare The U to Pitt is idiotic.
Pitt has nothing in common with those schools. I mean....seriously.....it is time to wake up, look in the mirror, and face reality. Pitt IS NOT going to land a bunch of 4 and 5 star recruits. If we had 73 of them in state, like Miami, then we’d land more. Law of probability. Bama and PS - LOL. No need to even respond to that one.No , it shows that hiring the right coach is possible .

etc . Pitt isn’t restricted to recruiting kids only from Pa . Where were players like Hugh Green and Ricky Jackson from ? Pitt simply needs better recruits than the 2 & 3 * they’re getting and I don’t care where their from .
Is State Colege Pa prime real estate ?
You do realize Alabama is # 1 , I don’t know about you , but I don’t want to retire there . I heard they’ve got a pretty good coach though !
I was pointing out location ,location ,location . Isn’t PSU in the same state as Pitt ?Pitt has nothing in common with those schools.

If a program is a good program the location of the program has no bearing on recruiting.
Good programs attract good players. If the programs in FL were bad programs the FL players would go elsewhere but they happen to be good programs.
At this time Pitt isnt considered a good program so why should a Fl kid go to Pitt except for immediate playing time?!

No reason half the class can’t be 4*
yeah noise levels through the roof...now, check in on next year's nooner against wake forest or duke down there and get back to me on that...Despite that game last week I'm not buying Miami is back yet...what I am buying is that using ND's nail biter loss in a game against a now exposed Georgia gave them way, way too much credence as a powerhouse...I attended last nights game between ND and Miami and I can’t remember ever being in an environment with so much energy and excitement . (I’ve gone to many Pitt games over the yrs ) Being I spend half the yr in SFl and I absolutely hate ND sports it was an easy choice , I was Caine fan yesterday . Starting in the parking lot with the tailgating the level of excitement was something I’ve never experienced at a Pitt game , everyone was your new best friend . I was expecting to see a lot of ND fans , but if 5% of the crowd were ND fans that’d have a lot .(not 30-40%) The closest I can come to describing the noise level inside the stadium was rock concert like and it never changed throughout the game .The only other game I’ve ever seen that could rival last night game for excitement and intensity would’ve been TDs 303 yd game against my buds from ND .
Take aways
The U is back
Their back because they went out and hired the right coach
They went out and paid what it took to get the coach ( 4 mil ) they wanted and they are now contenders for a national championship. ( it didn’t take long either )
Their incoming recruiting class is top 5 and with 30 prospects at last nights game getting better
With their success their fans are back ( the cheapest seat last was going for over $300 ) . I’m sure season ticket sells and donations for next season will easily offset any investment they made
Playing in big games like this are invaluable in turning students into lifelong fans
PITT CHANGE YOUR APPROCH TO ATHLETICS embrace winning it does wonders for the student body , the alumni and the city . By the way it pays off $$$$$$$
Ps ..as for the actual game , compared to the Caine’s ND looked like they were running in mud . Their quick and talented , it might not be pretty in a couple weeks hope for bad weather !
The point is Pitt has to minimize its focus on PA recruits and recruit the national football hotbeds!73 - 4 and 5 star recruits in FL
14 in PA
Next Year
37 - FL
3 - PA
People forget that Richt was SP's first choice to replace Majors. Cavanaugh was his second choice. They ended up with a QB coach from OSU. GA got a great coach, we got an OK coach. I'm not sure if that was the time that we refused to interview Alvarez??Richt was a top OC when he was hired at UGA.
I think the key is not hiring a coordinator for a ground-up rebuild job like this one. That requires someone who has been there, done that. UGA was already loaded when he got there.
Nobody has succeeded at Pitt since Jackie. At some point, you have to recognize maybe it’s not them, it’s Pitt.
Until the conference championships and playoffs there’s really no great way of knowing how good anyone really is . I’ll tell you this much though this wasn’t a lucky fluke win . They dominated and if they played again they’d easily win .yeah noise levels through the roof...now, check in on next year's nooner against wake forest or duke down there and get back to me on that...Despite that game last week I'm not buying Miami is back yet...what I am buying is that using ND's nail biter loss in a game against a now exposed Georgia gave them way, way too much credence as a powerhouse...
