The "NEW" Backyard Brawl

WV MetroNews ? Backyard Brawl coming to Huntington; Marshall to play Pitt

Since Pitt is terrified to play WVU they've decided to take on "little brother". Hope the Herd puts it to them.

I think it is funny that Pitt won't schedule WVU, but will schedule MU. I hope MU beats the shit out of them.

I am disappointed in Doc... I don't like this at all...

“The old Backyard Brawl is back but it is coming to Huntington instead of Morgantown,” said coach Doc Holliday on Metronews Talkline with Hoppy Kercheval.

He is a Mountaineer. I cannot believe he would refer to this match-up using the Backyard Brawl..

Might be using the term "Backyard Brawl" to draw in the uninformed. Think about it for a second, how many people would tune in to see MU-Pitt

I think it's funny that Pitt has said they don't have room on future schedules for Wv...hmm:rollseyes:

This is more like it, these two teams match up pretty well with each other. Pitt has no business being on the field with WVU.

Go Herd!! Hope the Herd gets a few extra fans in the house for this one

We probably get more people at our spring game than they will in this home and home match up lol

I want sPitt back on the schedule, but I understand that both US and them need to have some "breather" games. What we need to understand is that while Doc may be a WVU guy, he is the coach at another school, and must do all he can to promote his current school.

Let's see they get waxed by Akron and think Marshall is going to be an easier contest??..:rollseyes:

Marshalls travelling fanbase will almost assure Pitts largest attendance for the year.

The crowd in Huntington will be good, if WVU is out of town that week the place will be full. Guarantee that.

No no its much worse. He lost a bet when Pitt lost to East Virginia

 

[SteelersPride]

great comebacks there boys, may have had recent sucesss, but pitt clearly dominated the all time series......

good luck the rest of the way

sPitt had a 20 game win streak in the 1920s and 1930s, the series has been almost dead even since 1938, the very definition of a great rivalry.
