Interesting article on realignment

2

May 16, 2023, 3:33 PM

From a Pitt Gazette reporter called Clemson overrated. It looks like Pitt is getting worried about conference realignment. Also, called FSU overrated. Below is a link to the article as well as the reporter calling Clemson overrated.

“But even Clemson as a national brand is probably still way overrated. And, quite frankly, the Tigers have had far more the feel of a team that is winning against a weak conference than a national elite powerhouse like Alabama or Georgia”

Forgot to mention I guess the reporter didn’t realize that we have won two natties in the past 10 years.

He says we won two titles and made 6 CFPs

But the article does sound like it's driven by bitterness. If Pitt was one of the 7/8 teams attempting to leave he would probably be singing a different tune.

I was just being sarcastic because he called us overrated.

He forgot to mention that Clemson won 2 CFP championships against one of his elite national powerhouse teams, Alabama.

Yes, that's why the BIG and the SEC want Clemson---we're "overrated" LOL. Written by a Pitt reporter who follows a team nobody wants.

I’m telling you I think Pitt is getting very scared. About having no place to go when if the ACC dissolves.

Thought this was also ironic coming from a Pitt fan. “ That’s why all of these schools, especially the delusional ones like NC State and Virginia, should focus on fixing the problem and getting a better TV deal with more money. And it wouldn’t hurt to that end if they would all fix their football programs to make the conference better and more attractive.”

Yes, I'm sure all 3,000 of their fans would support that idea.

I agree. If Pitt has the least bit of success their fans become insufferable.

If we didn’t have a down year that year they wouldn’t of won that title.

2024 purple level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


and Pitt hasn't been relevant since 1980...

1

May 16, 2023, 3:54 PM

when a Jackie Sherrill coached team finished 11 - 1.

Pitt has just two (2) seasons with double digit wins since 1982 (2009 and 2021).

That's two seasons with double digit wins in 41 years and this clown wants to talk about other teams being irrelevant.

Not true. They brought almost 5,000 fans to the ACC championship game.

That was probably a combined total from both trips.***

The last time Pitt was really relevant it involved Dan Marino.
