Pitt has 9 national titles, eh?

Not so fast, my friend!

TAE's own crack staff (I'm an army of one like Mad Max) will now expose the LATEST attempt to pull the wool over people's eyes. I am the Geraldo Rivera of BC only I don't throw chairs and I am not a Mexican.

9 titles, eh?

We will travel slowly into the past, starting with the most recent attempt.

1981: Jackie Sherril leads the Pitt Nation to a "national championship". That title was awarded by the "NCF" or National Championship Foundation. Sounds legit, right? I guess they have organizational problems within the now dead NCF, since Texas and SMU and Nebraska were also awarded "national titles" by the NCF that season. Also that year, Penn State was given the "national title" by the "DuS" or "Dunkel System". In addition to all these national champs, too bad Clemson walked away with the 4 important "national titles" like the AP and Football Writers Association.

1976: Johnny Majors, who's second stint was far more comical if I remember correctly, which I do, did actually win a national title.

1937: Pitt took a 40 year R&R between '37 and '76, I guess because they were such a powerhouse that they had nothing left to prove. Jock Sutherland's club claims the AP title.

1931: Jock Sutherland's boys claim a national title after an 8-1 season. Too bad USC walked away with the 3 major ones that year.

1929: Jock Sutherland and the Ft. Duquesne Panthers (was Pittsburgh even founded yet?) walks away with a "national title" from a foundation from THIS guy:

College football historian Parke Davis is the only selector considered by the NCAA to have primarily used research in his selections. Davis did all of his work in 1933, naming retroactive national champions for most of the years from 1869–1932 and naming Michigan and Princeton (his alma mater) co-champions at the end of the 1933 season.

Are you as punch-drunk from that paragraph as I am? That's right, Parke Davis awarded national championship titles to schools who played their "title season" SIXTY FOUR YEARS PRIOR. What the **** research did this a-hole supposedly do?! Where in the Sam Hell did Parke Davis even find NEWSPAPER articles that even REMOTELY articulated what happened during regular season games in the 1869 season? Do you realize yet why I think this guy is a carpet bagger? He gave those titles to whoever he wanted! There was no "research", you dolts!

I want to make it known right now as a college football expert, who's brain is about to burst b/c I have so much knowledge and intellect, that I have declared, retroactively, that Penn State won 87 national championships. No, you can trust me, this is legit, I used "research". Pitt can keep their one, the only real one, with Majors and we'll let Notre Dame have 3 or 4 since they are good for the sport. All others have been given to a team of my choosing, and that team is Mississippi Valley State.



Walking away with the 3 major titles in 1929 was Rockne's Irish. Sorry, Jocky, better luck in the '30's, wanker.

1918: Glenn Warner's 4-1 Panthers claim a national title. Pitt walks away with 2 of the 3 major awards. Other goes to Michigan in a SPLIT NATIONAL TITLE.

1916: Glenn Warner's Panthers claim the national title, and to my dismay, this one seems legit. BUT.... Army walks away with Parke Davis' title this season. Hey, you gotta include them. Can't embrace Mr. Davis and then dismiss him.

1915: Parke Davis gives Glenn Warner the national title. Too bad no one else did, and Cornell goes home with the two meaningful awards.

1910: Joe Thompson and his Pitt Panthers are awarded a national title by 1 of the 3 major foundations. Harvard gets the other 2. Another "National Championship" for Pitt, in their own retarded minds.

Thus ends today's shooting exposition, as I shoot Pitt's wheels off yet again. Tune in next time, honkeys.

Talk about beating a dead horse!

Admit it 'spinmaster cut and paste'....your army of one is really Rivals, Scout, ESPN, CBSsports,Yahoo, SI and whatever online publication you can copy from.

You could've spared us the anti-Pitt diatribe. I know that the media was much less prevalent when Pitt won its earlier NCs. The point is, Pitt was recognized as having some great teams during the era when they won NCs.

Here's a novel thought for you Nitters: Watch the video that I posted in another thread, with Guman's uncle making a critical 4th down call against Nebraska on the game winning drive and tell me if PSU's '82 National Title was legit. As far as I am concerned, having a relative of a PSU player even officiate a game of that magnitude, much less make a call like that, is just as bad as what Tim Donaghy did in the NBA. McCloskey was at least 2 yards out of bounds. That was cheating at its worst.

1982....Alabama 42 Penn State 21. But Paterno and Penn State have never won a National Championship. It's time they got one. Let's give it to THEM.

[WPIAL~Titan]

Not only did Alabama kick PSU's collective butts up and down the field that season, but it took a cheating official to make sure they didn't have TWO losses. Plus, that Bama team finished only 8-4.

[El-Moldo]

Didn't realize that Alabama was THAT mediocre in 1982. And I watched that game and it WAS a butt-kicking. Unbelieveable.

Now all I do is copy and paste. Must have learned that one at Milford.

[shocker]

Sad thing is that even the broad top bulletin or morrison cove herald wouldnt recruit you out of Milford! :lol:

[The Ancient Enemy]

Thank you for acknowledging that people should not be recruited out of Milford. I agree.

[shocker]

Tell your cult leader jopoo that...he has recruited at least 3 from there in recent memory, maybe more.
