Pitt/ND atmosphere will be great!

Cant take any of you own medicine, aye El-Moldo?

Just like recruiting in parochial schools, I just want fairness. That's all.

Is the game about Norte Dame and Pitt or is it about the former NFL coaches?

[flybynight]

i think its the last one...

I think the name says it all: Heaven and Hoops. This guy clearly loves church-league basketball. You know, where they call a foul for any contact and then they pray about it and Jesus clears it up. Really, it's much like the NFL refs going into the replay booth. I think maybe Hollywood isn't the only one on this site who plays by YMCA rules.

Look at Old Moldy run to his Bleacher Coaches Rule Book 2005 Edition as soon as he knows I made a valid point. Maybe I'll tape all the Penn State and Pitt games that come on my TV set in Texas this season. I'll bet it's at least 3 to 1. Don't worry, you know I'm good for sending you the tapes just to prove a point.

TAE...Once again you are a fountain of misinformation. Everyone of Pitt's road games will be televised nationally. So 3 to 1 is way, way, off.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Pitt at Rutgers is televised nationally? I guess the top 85 teams in the nation all have a bye week that weekend!!!

Pitt at Ohio is in the same vein as Pitt as Notre Dame. Nice try, though. Louisville are media darlings are even though I think Pitt is way worse of a program than you nitwits say they are, they ARE the second best team in that conference this season, so that makes sense that game is televised. Novemeber 24th at WVU... even a lackluster Mountaineer team will beat Pitt. What a rivalry. Go Mountaineers!!!

Speaking of rivals, who is Penn State's rival? That's right, the Big 11 has fabricated PSU/Michigan State as rivals in order to make the game somewhat attractive.

Maybe Temple can be your new rival since they are on the schedule.

PSU vs. OSU is a bigger rival in the State of PA than the old Pitt vs. PSU, that right there speaks volumes.

I guess you've never seen a PSU MSU game in person, it's not fabricated, it's real.

[TheAnalyst]

PSU/OSU bigger than Pitt/PSU? Where did you ever hear that? Pitt/PSU ranked right up there with the tops in the country, like Miami/FSU. In my book PSU has no real rivals. It takes years, dare I say decades, of tradition and playing to develop what I would call a rival. And there has to be an element of pride and/or hatred involved. Records meant little in that game as both handed losses to the other during great seasons. The only rival I would consider for Pitt anymore is WVU. What the heck would someone from PSU care about MSU? I like Penn State, but I don't feel they play any games anymore I would consider a rivalry. The closest for me would be OSU, but it just doesn't have the same feel.
