When we beat PSU next year...
- Thread starter buckage
- Start date
After the 1st game of the year….doubt it. If they don’t win 8 games he will be.
I meant at the end of the year, not immediately after the game. Mea Copa
I still it a Toss Up Game always and every game just like CUSE or WVU! This season is not over, and wait on recruiting and coaching changes now?
According to PSU fans, the game is meaningless and shouldn't even be played. With that said, if Conner comes back next year, the PITT offense souks have some serious success against a defense losing a lot of playmakers. The defense will also be improved after a full year with this staff.
Why is it unforgivable? What difference does it make if the last meeting was 16 years ago or 1 year ago? If we lose, is it forgivable?
Did you really use "primary rival" and "haven't played them in 16 years" to reference the same opponent?
Pitt-PSU is only a rivalry in the minds of a few old farts. (Full disclosure: I am an old fart, a PSU fan who also likes to see Pitt do well, but don't consider this a rivalry. That died more than a decade ago.)
My best guess is there are no athletic administrators at either school who have been a part of a PSU-Pitt game. Nobody on either coaching staff. Few if any players who had even reached first grade the last time they played.
I think it has the potential to be an interesting series the next few years, but I would prefer both schools to rotate lots of other national schools (SEC, Pac-12, Big 12, etc) on their schedules rather than make this long term.
It's not all about football (although your institution's actions show otherwise). Look at message boards, social media, recruiting wars, other sports (you sold out the Bryce Jordan Center for wrestling when we came), newspapers and listen to talk radio...the rivalry exists even if you want to bury your head in the sand (hmmm...sounds familiar).
Safety Blitz, Just the fact that you are on a Pitt board is evidence that its still a rivalry.

The Rivalry is still alive, the games ended by one pure Ego Driven Old Fart, that later left Penn State Name in Shame with a Scandal that revealed the old Fart was not following all the Rules, Compliances, and Laws?

Nope, disagree, today a day or week does not go by without the Schools being mentioned on BWI, Lair, and Mountaineers Message Boards, Coaches bring it up, and more Fans still want to play each other than the few that don't.

Well, O'Brien said they should play when he was hired, Narduzzi mentioned it, Holgrosen mentioned it? Franklin mentioned it?

TD...I'm on the Pitt board because I really like college football. I've attended an equal number of Pitt games as I have PSU games over the past 20 years. (That's an approximate. I don't have an exact count, but it is very close.) And I'm on the Pitt board because I find some good football discussion here. I try to be respectful while typing my opinions or comments. (Not saying I don't cross a line once in a while, but I try hard not to do that both here and on the BWI board.) I don't like PSU fans who come to this board to spew crap, nor do I like it when Pitt fans do the same on the BWI board. Most people I've met at Pitt and PSU events are very nice, treat me with respect, and enjoy good conversations. We agree on many things, and agree to disagree on others.
PSU often played WVU back in the day. I would never consider it a rivalry today. PSU played Syracuse every year for a long, long time. That ended and nobody would call it a rivalry today. Heck, PSU and Temple have played for many years and I don't think either school considers it a rivalry. Just my opinion. I know it is shared by many of my PSU friends. It's in no way a slight toward Pitt. Times have changed.
Capt. Sid....I will agree to agree to disagree. That works for me. Personally, I would enjoy the opportunity to go to State College or Heinz Field to see teams like Florida, Bama, LSU, Texas, Notre Dame, TCU, Oklahoma, UCLA, Oregon, Boise State. If that means no Pitt-PSU game, I'll make that trade in a heartbeat. I can go see Pitt and PSU whenever I feel like it. (I usually go to two or three games between the two schools each season.) I've seen ND in person once. I've never seen those other schools play.

Nice Post and I feel the same way, and TD is often accused of being a Nitter and me too, but I enjoyed all Pitt-Penn State, WVU-PITT, as well as ND, USC, Stanford, Temple & PENN and UVA Games.
Banter is welcomed and expected as well too, so long as we discuss College Football subjects on them.
I stick to postings I know about, hear about, or want to learn and share about! I ignore more topics than I respond too. I put up Links to share with others too, and I have corrected on many occasions and Thank any Posters that corrected me!
The Lair is the best on Rivals they have fair Monitors and I never bitch when my own posts get removed when they think I crossed the line? It is Chris Peak's Ball & His Back Yard and you can't play unless by the Lair Rules!
We are what we post, nothing more or less, and it is just on College Football, not a Religious Awakening!
This is why I advocate welcoming more other Fans on the Lair and learn from them too!

Well, many of them above have In-State Rivalries even while being other conferences. History matters too, and Pitt has a longer history with Penn State, First Radio Broadcasts with WVU History, and 5th Historical rival with Notre Dame.
Better than those above and those above can still be scheduled as well over SDSU, Army, YSU, Akron, Buffalo, Georgia State, Kent State, Appalachian State, or Villanova all that are on the future Pitt-Penn State Schedules. As well as, Liberty or Georgia Southern for WVU!
Many on the Lair don't want to play Penn State either due to the what happen to children at Penn State and ignored by Paterno! I agree to disagree with them as well with due respect too!
If that means no Pitt-PSU game, I'll make that trade in a heartbeat. I can go see Pitt and PSU whenever I feel like it. (I usually go to two or three games between the two schools each season.) I've seen ND in person once. I've never seen those other schools play.
Well, that floats your boat so be it, but the website is still called RIVALS, and regardless of what you think or say, WVU, PITT, and Penn State are still RIVALS on Boards, and Field when they play!
I am invited and have traveled to ND, USC, PSU, WVU, UVA, OHIO STATE, STANFORD, ARIZONA, MICHIGAN, and TEMPLE Games too, and had great times because of the people I am with that teach me and share about their Programs.
I am always asked why Pitt-Penn State don't play anymore, I just say, Paterno, and they look at me and say, Oh, say no more?

So what constitutes a rival then? Obviously not how often or recently you've played.
If Army didn't play Navy for ten years would they still be rivals?
Franklin is recruiting way too well to be let go anytime soon. Even if he is 2-10 next year, he gets a 4th year to see what his recruits can do. And he wont go 2-10.
Franklin is going to be very Wanny-like. Recruit well but cant coach. Lots of 8-4 and 7-5s but will that be enough?
PSU has 5 built-in wins every year so 7-5 is really the worst they can do.

Just because a newer generation has never seen a Pitt/PSU game does not mean it isn't or shouldn't be a rivalry. I forget what game I was watching this past weekend and they were talking about great rivalries and they listed Pitt/PSU as one of them. It is a game that was always played in the past and because of the tradition of both schools it SHOULD be played every year. Both of these schools have lived off their respective traditions for many years, tradition is a very important thing and this lost rivalry has destroyed a great one.
In my opinion Pennsylvania football has died a little because of this lost rivalry.
Georgia/Georgia Tech, Florida/Florida State, Louisville/Kentucky, Clemson/South Carolina are all different conferences with championship games and they STILL play one another.
Then you have Ohio State/Michigan, Alabama/Auburn, Oklahoma/Oklahoma State, Ole Miss/Mississippi State, Army/Navy and USC/UCLA rivalries in which Pitt/Penn State was compared.

Capt Sid...While you may be right in theory about Penn State replacing some of those lesser known/weaker teams on its schedule, it doesn't work in practice. PSU's athletic budget is based on revenues from seven home football games (90,000+ tickets sold per game). We can all howl at the moon about this all we want, but it is not going to change. The almighty dollar rules. PSU runs a huge athletic department with many teams that are more competitive on a national level than its football program. PSU will not change that budget model for anybody.
The Big Ten currently plays a seven game conference schedule. In order to schedule seven home games every year, PSU must find opponents willing to go 3-for-1, 2-for-1 or schedule single games at PSU. Is Pitt ever going to agree to anything but a home-and-home? Heck no. They would be foolish to do so. That goes for virtually every power conference school. So PSU, like many others, resorts to bringing in some schools willing to take either the lop-sided multiple game schedule or the one-game guarantee. Once you fit in conference games, that leaves room for maybe one home-and-home series. Should PSU lock Pitt into that position long term? Or do they take a variety approach? That's what it boils down to. It is only going to get worse if the Big Ten acts on its talk of moving to an eight-game conference schedule.
Look as already stated... In state rivalries exist period... The actions of some bizarre old man won't change that... The words of an even more bizarre large cult fanbase fed on lies and a misguided superiority complex won't change that...Paternos actions were as self serving as they were truly petty...lie after lie told about "needed home games"... ? I mean just look at that...who gives a shit what games you think you need anyway?...that doesn't stop GA from playing GT...FSU from playing Florida or Miami...Iowa from playing Iowa State..Army vs Navy...Mich vs MSU...it's bizarre and embarrassing and if Paterno were not such a jerk Harris would have cleaned his clock after 2000... It was a dodge... Nothing more...
After these 4 games don't be shocked if the game is yearly again...particularly if Pitt does well in those 4 or sweeps... Paterno is gone and Barber can mouth off all she wants like a clueless barnyard animal...she knows jack about the history and PSU ain't holding some magic wand...

Just got off the phone with a big Booster at Penn State, we talk often about a few Programs especially Penn State, Pitt, UVA, USC, ND, and WVU. He said some significant things about Franklin and what is going on at Penn State that I found hard to believe, but this guy is spot on when it comes to the Penn State Football Program. Here is a synopsis:
1. Franklin admits he is just a CEO Coach and leaves coaching to his Assistants. This PSU Booster Alumnus Player said Franklin is lost as well as confused on the Sidelines and is very disrupting to the Assistant running that games? He went on to say he agrees with what some Bookies told me about Franklin being disrespected by other Big Ten Coaches due to his poaching and calling committed recruits and wastes far too much time on Social Media and works very little on Game Day Planning.
2. Franklin has run onto issues with Penn State Compliance Safe Guards put in to Reform the Penn State Football Culture and even the New PS4RS Trustees are for those high standards and the one thing both Divided Alumni Trustees agree upon. The Penn State Former Players have all turned on Franklin's Coaching and are just starting to be vocal about it with more to come. They want him to go by next year and replaced with a Penn State Alumnus Background Coach. I asked are you sure, about that, he said, gone next year, book it! I said what if he wins 10 games, he laughed, and said, you ask that question and you won't be invited to his Box for the Pitt-Penn State Games?!
3. I did not ask because he asked me, to describe what I thought of Franklin's Head Coaching Persona at Penn State, and I responded, hey you called me, what is your own one word. He said, he had no one word, but the Penn State Alumni Players have one..SHOWBOAT! He said, they nailed it and that is Franklin's new moniker! He also confirmed that the staff concentrates more on recruiting than coaching and some High School Coaches are starting to resent being called by the Staffers and Franklin.
Now this Booster has been wrong before but usually has a good pulse of what others are saying because his firm associates with many of them. He is a Top Math Graduate with a PH.d in Statistics and has made millions using his skills. These are outstanding people I might add and the best and brightest Penn State Fans that will give some banter but always courtesy and respectful and just care deeply for Penn State Football.
Houston may have a problem replacing Herman but Franklin's problems at Penn State are multiplying geometrically as he puts it, and the mudslinging has been going on all year long, not just this past week. He confirmed that is the reason why Franklin had his Agent put his name out there for the Miami Job, to get a reaction on what the Buzz is about him on other jobs.
We also talked about the WVU Program and Holgrosen because our close friend is Big Booster there too. As well as Narduzzi and he commented he heard Coach Pat Staff is outstanding and better things to come!
We talked about Hackenberg and if the Steelers would draft him or will he stay at Penn State another year? He said, if Hack goes by the Second Round he is gone, and agrees with me, he would need better coaching that he can';t get under Franklin?
I ended the conversation with asking him if Pitt under Narduzzi & Staff would beat Penn State's Franklin & Staff this year, and he said, wouldn't be a contest, Pitt would kill them, and he never admits tat kind of answer among his friends publicly.
Things Unhappy in Happy Valley!

I won't disagree with you, Penn State entire Football Culture is based on making money and one reason that led to the cover ups by Spanier and firings anyone that threaten that concept and planning.
But that is kind of at odds with your desire to see Great Games? The WVU-PITT and Pitt-Penn State Games are just 2 and 4 hours away and always great games?

Well, that did not end the series, Paterno ended it out of spite. Penn State will still make that money playing Pitt every year too!
The Big Ten currently plays a seven game conference schedule. In order to schedule seven home games every year, PSU must find opponents willing to go 3-for-1, 2-for-1 or schedule single games at PSU.
No one but Temple agreed with that and Temple is off the schedule anyway right now after next year? This is a Penn State Myth. Also, Big Ten Schools don't do that either?
Now I agree the Big Ten is limiting OOC Options but Michigan, Purdue, and MSU, got upset when ND dumped them to meet New ACC 5 Opponents, so once again, that is not true of other Big Ten Programs. Penn State added ND recently too.
Additionally, the CFB Playoff Committee is expecting more FBS Playing each other and this why the Big Ten and PAC-12 have gone to 9 Inter-Conference Schedules. It prevents those Big Games you posted above you want to go to and want to see? All I want to see is WVU-PITT and PITT-PSU every year and that is tougher on Pitt!
Is Pitt ever going to agree to anything but a home-and-home? Heck no. They would be foolish to do so. That goes for virtually every power conference school.
Yet, Penn State Paterno had no trouble scheduling Syracuse and others 1-1? Paterno destroyed College Football History over his ego, and cried about his legacy before he dies, but Karma caught up to his Nittany Lies.
For example, when he pointed out all the things you pointed out, in the early 1990s and early 2000s he added to the Reporters, you do know Penn State played at Pitt for 25 Years Straight?
The Reporters pointed out, that was when Pitt had a Bigger Stadium and where Sports Media could cover the Game without a 4 to 5 hour drive to Penn State on a Two Lane Highway and get then Media Deadlines in sooner and easier. They added, plus Pitt gave Penn State all the revenues of every game every other year as if it was a Pitt Home Game. Joe just walked away in silence!
Joe Paterno used top go on Public Record that he wants Pitt in the Big Ten. However, Later President Gee then at OSU mentioned to his Big Boosters that was taped, that whenever Pitt was mentioned as possible candidate Paterno would go nuts on everyone?
So, don't fall for Nittany Lies!
So PSU, like many others, resorts to bringing in some schools willing to take either the lop-sided multiple game schedule or the one-game guarantee. Once you fit in conference games, that leaves room for maybe one home-and-home series.
Well, I kind of refuted those Penn Sate Myths above! In addition, Penn State scheduling 5 lightweights at home and 3 more Home Games, this year did not improved Franklin's Coaching or Team did it?
Should PSU lock Pitt into that position long term? Or do they take a variety approach? That's what it boils down to. It is only going to get worse if the Big Ten acts on its talk of moving to an eight-game conference schedule. Here is the Link for the Future Penn State Schedules and it is easier to refute you falling for Paterno Myths on Scheduling? Funny, South Carolina-Clemson, Kentucky-Louisville, FSU-Florida, Georgia-Georgia Tech, don't have that problem. Finally, think of the savings and cost going by Bus versus by planes too?As well as, you by car instead of flying to see a Great Pitt-Penn State game that History created and Paterno ended and O'Brien and Franklin said should comeback???

Captain, What facility is your friend located and how many phone calls is allowed per day? Is he allowed to dial the numbers himself or does the orderly do it for him?
The number on the ID was 1-800-560-1637 of the Lasch Building Showers, near the Cult Ward so just turn around ask some of your friends right there in the Computer Room?
Don't worry your prediction that Franklin will win 10 Games this year is what was insane, don't you think? Keep standing in line and take your number and get your shots! You'll be fine!
Now give us your predictions for these years?

I don't think Franklin will be in trouble after we beat them next year. That fan base will come up with any rationale they need (perhaps waiting for women's v-ball season?) to keep from admitting Pitt should get credit. They'll blame the NCAA, refs, ESPN, McQueary, Primanti's, NASA, whatever...
My Friend did tell me Penn State's Computer System had Virus Problems recently paid over $2 million to get rid of them, cost less than Franklin's Losses. I said that was far less than they paid the Victims and Defense Fees still sky high!
I assure you I didn't pick the Nits to win 10 games. I've been pretty consistent in what I think of PSU's situation. They stink and there isn't a quick fix. I expect the Nits to win somewhere between 5 and 7 games next year. 2017 is the year they should start to show some improvement.
I know, you said it depended on the OL to see how good or bad they may be this year. You were correct!
I said they could win 10 if the OL is just average and Barkley is as good as i predicted. I thought Hackenberg would be much better too. I was wrong on the OL and Hack and I think it is till coaching more than sanctions. Yet, right on they would be beaten by MSU, Michigan, and OSU! I did not expect them to lose to Temple!
