They are the talk of college basketball today. Everyone is asking the question...

It makes me laugh so fucking hard it makes my sides hurt.

Remember all them PITT trolls back at CBS. I loved the one annoying fuck who kept getting banned... PITT#1 seed was the best troll.

I can’t remember some of the other PITT fans who loved to poke the bear. A guy named GASMAN was a pompous fuck.

I wish CBS were still active today. It would be great to see how many of them are looking down on their little brother down the Mon River now.

I remember Pitt13-9 would come to the board, get peppered by everyone, post 2 or 3 sensible posts and then go into his Pitt routine again. It’s gotten so bad, Penn St will not renew the football series when the contract expires. That was a big revenue stream for Pitt as Heinz Field sold out the first time the series played in Pittsburgh. Nobody could figure out why they hired the basketball coach. How much do they miss Jamie Dixon now.

Yeah... 13-9... I think he was same dude who became PITT#1seed...

There was one Pitt fan I liked after he settled his act down. I cannot remember his SN. He was a high school football coach in the Pittsburgh area.

The best part of the TCU game was watching Dixon remembering his ties to sPitt.

Watching the Pitt sports program decline makes me appreciate no balls more

Pitt happened to Pitt. This is what happens when you fire successful coaches because you think you deserve better than 9-3 in football every year, or 25 wins and NCAA appearances with an occasional sweet 16.

The fans got greedy and thought the program was better and more prestigious than it was, rather than something Howland/Dixon built.

The fact that so many actually thought Pitt would lure Sean Miller from Arizona is funny.

No idea. Haven't followed Pitt closely since I left the state to go to Mizzou several years ago. I try to keep up since I grew up on them but not much more than that.

Even though you aren't following closely, you hit the nail on the head. You'd think Pitt would have learned that lesson after Wannstedt...

Yeah he was far from perfect, but they were in better shape with him then they had been in the past 15 or so years before him (and obviously after). Heck a team quarterbacked by Bill Stull was knocking on the door of being a Top 10 team at one point.

I do think Narduzzi is a good coach, though, but I'm already expecting him to get ran out at some point when people grow impatient that the program isn't constantly elite, or something unrealistic like that.

Has to be worrisome to PITT and Wv how the Penn State recruiting machine seems to have ramped up again...

As soon as Franklin was named HC at PSU, I hoped for his failure. You knew he could recruit, and it’s like nothing bad ever happened at PSU today.

WVU had a window where it could have exploited the crap out of PITT and PSU both being in trouble, and Lyons fucked it all up.
