HAIL TO PITT!!!!

 

[WVUinColumbus]

That's your reply??? LOL! Try again. That's pretty weak.

I thought it was a pretty funny response.

 

[WVUinColumbus]

That's all? That's not very good in comparison. You either aren't making too much money or paid too much for your pseudo education.

I was on the 6 year plan.

 

[WVUinColumbus]

What is it with you hillbillies and your obsession with your jocks as if that is a measure of relevancy and quality of a school?

The ONLY ranking that matters is an academic ranking. The sports stuff is fine entertainment and a diversion, nothing else. The day after a game is played, it's over and forgotten, win or lose. Not so with an education.

And you're wrong. Do some research on where Pitt ranks in terms of many criteria with other elite schools, including the Ivys. It will prove you wrong.

We don't want a school like wvu to be in the same discussion as Pitt, ever and with anything. We know that will never happen with the quality of the education.

There you go with the attendance garbage. Incidentally, we are getting a bit more than 20K for games. The last couple of home games, especially the Clemson and Miami games, we had more fans in the stands than you get in your stadium. Chew on that.

But if you want to talk sports, lets bring your bunch of misfits of a football team to Heinz Field and we'll see who wins that game. Kenny would put up 60 on you guys easily. And with rankings? Where are you in football? We're at least in the top 25 and have the best QB in the country. You don't have anything close to that.

We are going to find out soon enough. We are playing you on the first Thursday of week 1 next season at Heinz.

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

Cool.

Sorry man but the first sign that a school isn’t really that special is if its alums are so insecure that they need to post on the Internet about what a magazine ranked their school.

As comebacks go, that's pathetic.

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

Ps. You made the "Princeton" reference. And got it thrown back in your face with real facts.

The only Princeton they know anything about is IN West Virginia.

I bet you’re the life of the party ha!

Just honest. Try it.

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

You're taking this really bad. Did we play a game of academics or basketball? You got stomped bro.

Well after all, they are called the HOOPies . . .

 

[TempleBAPittMPA]

So who is wvu going to lose to today in football? Sorry, I don't keep track of the dustbowl conference.

You mean the Pure Prairie League.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

This thread is the epitome of what makes the Brawl so great.

You aren’t getting this entertainment with a game versus Wake Forest and we aren’t getting it with a game against Texas Tech.

There have been some golden rebuttals by hoopies on this thread. I’m guessing that many of the Pitt fans on this specific thread are at least 60 years old based on some of the responses and lack of comedy snark.

Oh trust me, I give the WVU fans full marks for the "we want the Citadel" chant. Well played.

 

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

You’re best win isn’t as good as WVU’s. Your worse loss is much worse than WVU.

Your football league is bad.

Yeah but we would friggin kill you guys this year. I mean 3 TD beat down. You suck. Our "bad" loss was a brain freeze. It was a complete anomaly.

 

[UPitt '89]

Who?

You know...Bruce Einsteen. Nuclear Physicist/Rock Star from New Jersey.

 

[Ski11585]

This thread is a perfect example of why Pitt needs to play WVU annually in all sports. Rivalries are amazing.

 

[KGSB Panther]

My WVU degree has literally paid off probably 125-150 fold.

Of course. 0 x 125 is still 0.

 

[HailToPitt1985]

You mean the Pure Prairie League.

LOL! Yeah, that one.

 

[Ronnyp91]

Kansas State kicking some hoopie ass!

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

It’s too bad we didn’t play them in football this year. It would be an easy win.

Go Home………Mountaineers

 

[tps48]

Sorry friends but academic arrogance from Pitt is a little rich.. Pitt isn’t exactly such an elite institution that you can pull it off. It’s a good enough university as is WVU but don’t pretend it’s Princeton.

Closer to Princeton than WVU. Do some research before making an erroneous claim and looking stupid. Last time I looked Pitt was in the top 10% of US universities while WVU was in the 3rd quartile. That's not saying that WVU doesn't produce some good graduates, just not that many of them.

WVU is a dump and the school's educational reputation is very low! When I visit there it is hard to tell the townies from the "so called" students!

 

[WVUinColumbus]

No, you wouldn’t kill us. It’s not because we are good but rather because Pitt isn’t that good. I have repeatedly stated that Pitt is having an unreal season and I mean that. However, I mean that for Pitt standards. You aren’t having a great season by national standards…merely a solid/good season. Moreover, multiple analytics models have ACC being one of the worst power conferences in the CFP era. WVU and Pitt schedules are apples and oranges.

We had the same exact season in 2016. Finished 10-2 and didn’t beat anybody the entire season. The difference is that we were beat by the 2 Okie schools. You were beat by Northern Illinois and one other mediocre team.

The CFP is infatuated with number of losses every single season. I believe you guys only have 2 losses and yet you aren’t even ranked in the top 15 (with only a couple of games remaining).

We also had a similar season in 2018.

I’m not stating anything different that many of you have repeatedly stated regarding your program. Don’t get upset just because an outsider is stating it.

Perhaps finish undefeated out of conference just once in decades. That should be the bare minimum prior to having any serious thoughts of definitively stating Pitt would beat WVU by 3 scores…..in any season.

 

[Panther Parrothead]

I think that the biggest thing that Pitt fans don’t understand about WVU fans is their complete indifference/acceptance of their situation.

If Pitt’s academic reputation was as bad as WVU’s, we students and alumni would demand that it improve, and we’d expect an intensive investigation of why it didn’t.

WVU fans, on the other hand, seem to take pride in their public image as the dirty, drunken, under-educated hillbilly; they embrace it; they’re as comfortable with it as a pig is wallowing in mud.

Summarizing, WVU has a serious public relations problem, but none of you seem to be interested in improving it.

1. I would steer the direction towards academics (WVU) and child rape (appropriately so….PSU) too if I was involved in dialogue on a forum regarding athletics performance over a long period of time.

2. WVU has numerous initiatives to improve academic performance/measurables. It continues to improve and will not react to reputation. As many on here have repeatedly cited, the mission of the university is to serve the constituents of a very poor state…..just like athletics, the academic aims/missions of the two institutions are apples and oranges.

Ask why psu didn't play u neanderthals all those years.

We are playing Penn St next season.

Oh wow get the SWAT team lol

 

[WVUinColumbus]

Oh wow get the SWAT team lol

What does PSU have to do with WVU? You must be woke or just misguided if you think WVU is inferior to an institution that covered up child rape for the sake of football. Penn St and UNC are embarrassments to the higher academic world…….which is embarrassing enough the way it is.

Anyone who argues in favor of institutions that consistently fleece its students (like a Pitt) is misguided. Your education expenses are ridiculous and always have been. Zero value going to Pitt if in a more lucrative field of study.

Really, you have nothing better to do than hang on the Pitt board! really?

 

[DruidTM]

Morgantown is absolutely a dump a depressing looking campus where the town looks rundown and definitely not updated… to think they have the balls to rip on Oakland or Pittsburgh is completely laughable in every damn way.
And their football team is an absolute joke with a tackling dummy at QB.
Pitt will get basketball figured out … Morgantown will never not be a dump and Manchin will continue to enrich himself as the state gets worse… he’s the WV version of Mitch McConnell…. Another backward economic disaster state.

What is with the obsession with the word woke? I’ve maybe heard 2 people self describe as that, and yet there is this constantly calling others that. Not sure what it means within the context of comparing schools.

But anyway…

Yeah, PSU is trash for what happened there and has pretty low acceptance rates at its branch campuses. But all things considered, the main University is a lot closer ranked to PITT than WVU.

Fleeces it’s students is a new one too. I know several grad programs are considered among the best return on value on the country.

I woke this morning. So did my wife and a lot of people I know. That's the only use of the word "woke" that is correct. I feel blessed to have woken every morning and enjoy another day of living.

As for the rest of your post, very misguided and full of misinformation. But carry on.

We'd kill you. First off, the Big 12 is not good either this year. Look at the skate bys Oklahoma did. Our offense would torch you, you couldn't score to keep it close.

The WMU game was an anomaly.

Dude, I lived there (Morgantown). And while you guys would get pissed when news (oh look the Pittsburgh news is here because we are burning Sunnyside again), you guys embrace these activities year after year after year.

You hate to be labeled by the stereotypes yet you guys embrace the stereotype every year.

The XII is a power conference. ACC (especially the division that doesn’t have Clemson) is a G5 conference this season. OU, OSU and Baylor would blow the doors off of any team in the ACC.

I like your QB but our defensive line would give him fits. It’s hard to say whether you would win this season (you CERTAINLY wouldn’t blow the doors off of us) because we have a power conference schedule and you don’t…..as evidenced by a loss to a G5 team and most wins against G5 caliber teams.

Again, I’m not saying we are good. We aren’t. I just don’t think Pitt would be good either if in the XII. Apples and oranges.

Man, a WVU degree and stuck living in Columbus. I probably would have just left the car running in the garage instead of spending so much time on a G5 teams free message board.

You're like SMF's Hoopie alter ego. You figure if you keep saying something enough times it will make it true.

We might not beat Oklahoma, Oklahoma State or Baylor (but then again, we might). But we'd clobber you guys this year. And deep down you know it.

Now this is funny stuff!! Your defense, if they're playing way above their heads, might be able to hold Pitt to under 50 points. You haven't seen a QB as good as Pickett all year. And our defense, although not at the levels of past Pitt defenses, would hold you guys to under 20. Your offense is pathetic. If we couldn't hold you to under 20, there would be something seriously wrong with our defense.

We'd have a 30 point blowout against you easily.

If we couldn't hold you to under 20, there would be something seriously wrong with our defense.

Pinkett is a very good QB. I’ve said that on other threads.

You guys aren’t as good as you think you are…..as evidenced by getting beat by a lackluster Miami team and a Group of 5 school.

Like I said, we went 10-2 5 years ago and didn’t have a good win on schedule. Your infatuation with number of losses is similar to the infatuation by CFP committee. That doesn’t mean anything. Take more stock in Vegas numbers.

OSU was like 3-4 point favorites a couple of weeks ago. If we had a high school level QB, we could’ve kept the game respectable BUT their defense is one of the best in the country.
