Teach Them Once and For All

why did you waste a perfectly good ticket on a Pitt fan?

We are…..

I’m definitely going to have to highlight this fact more often.

My wife is an LSU alum and until she went to the OSU game in 2005 she didn’t understand how it could possibly better than death valley.

While she still prefers the sweltering south, she now understands that we take the whole gameday experience to a completely different level

So well crafted. It’s something you can’t explain to some people I guess.

I feel like Cuba Gooding in Jerry Maguire, when he’s on Roy Firestone’s show and trying not to cry….’I’m not gonna cry, Roy, you’re not gonna get me to cry.’ Then he just breaks down and goes on a hugging rampage.

But now I’m more like Jimmy V, with no one to hug. My cubemates might get me arrested.

Viva la Penn State Football. Thanks for the awesome summary dude!

way to make our point, Pitt fans. I was perusing the comments section of the pennlive article that Mondesishouse references.

Here are some fun facts that people might not have realized about Pitt and PSU, and if any PSU fans dont believe me than just look it up.

Did you know that Pitt and PSU entered into the 2008 season with the same regular season records since 2000. Both teams were at 55-42 since 2000. Since 2000 Pitt has made 5 bowl appearances and PSU has only been to 4 bowl games. In that time both have made only one BCS bowl appearance. (PSU played a hog wash FSU team that was coming off 3 straight losses)

*So PSU fans can continue to talk crap, but if you look at the this decade it is possible that Pitt can finish better than PSU. *

I call this section on the rise and on the decline:

In the 90’s PSU went 97-26 with 10 straight bowl appearances. What a significant drop off. PSU is on pace to have its worse decade since the 50’s. when they had 62 wins. And you talk about Pittsburgh living in the past.

Pitt in the 90’s was 37-74-1 with only one bowl appearance. That is why Pitt fans are so excited about our future. Pitt is on pace to have one of its most consistance and successful decades, and join the 70’ and 80’s panthers with 70+ wins in a decade.

Oh yeah, one last tid bit, Pitt beat PSU 12 – 0 last time they played and Pitt beat Iowa this year.

Tell you the truth Id rather have this settled on the field, PLAY US!!!

So you’re saying that you “might” have a better record than Penn State this decade (but we all know that won’t actually happen), and this is one of Penn State’s worst decades, while it will be one of Pitt’s best decades. So even during your best and our worst you STILL probably won’t do better than us. Congrats on being mediocre, and thanks for doing the research to prove it (lord knows I wouldn’t have put forth the effort)

Of people throwing our record since 2000 in our face. Two years ago their record was blowing us out of the water. Last year they were slightly better. Now we’re tied. What does that tell you? This team is completely different from the team we fielded in the first half of this decade. It’s under different players, different coaches, and different philosophies. I can’t wait until 2010 when people start saying, “Well, if you take out the past five years, Penn State has a losing record since 2000.”

We’ve won two Big Ten Championships in four years. We’re riding a three and soon to be four Bowl game winning streak. They can’t even get a sellout in their own stadium unless West Virginians drive up from Morgantown. Penn State is back, and it drives Pitt nuts.

Having Adam back in my blogging experience is the proverbial “turd in the punchbowl.”

And the one that proved my point:

Hey, I want to thank him for teaching me ‘once and for all’

That the air is a ‘mixture of manure and grill scents’ there?

Yum.

It’s funny, but I don’t see anywhere their own mascot was arrested just before that same Michigan State game.

Or the 61 Penn State members of the football team arrested since 2002. Where is the shrine for that?

Being a Pitt fan, nothing would impress me like a tour of where the volleyball teams in Happy Valley play. Thank God there wasn’t a tour of the Cross Country trail-who could handle all of that athletic excellence?

Funny that you can see the Bryce Jordan Center from Beaver Stadium, but it wasn’t mentioned? How could you pass up the basketball program that went 25-31 the past two years? I know, you probably didn’t have time and wanted to get to your seat in time to watch the drum major and his ‘flip’.

Your right. We Pitt fans are missing plenty that Penn State has to offer.

Thanks for the education.

To which I responded:

Ahhh…yes, reactions like that to a post that did not even say a bad word about Pitt indicate how jealous you truly are. All I did was describe the things that I feel make Penn State great, and you responded with the some pretty derogatory stuff, from calling me a “turd in a punchbowl”, to belittling the accomplishments of our athletic department’s other teams, who work just as hard as the football players.

Cynics.

Rather than counter with the things that make Pitt great, you felt compelled to tear down Penn State. Stay classy Pitt.

Pitt is going for their FIRST 9 win season in 25 years….

….in that same stretch….PSU has won 9+ games 17 times.

Enough said.

Pitt is a MAC school and nothing more.

…where the crowd literally IS the 12th man!!

This summer, I was at a Pirates game. My little Honda Accord (with NJ license plates) was innocently parked in the lot across the street by the Marriott. When we left, what had to be the $hittiest baseball game I’ve ever witnessed in person, I found that my two PSU magnets were stolen off the back of my car. It goes to show the jealousy that the PItt fans have for us. If I saw a car w/ Pitt magnets, I would laugh and not waste my time stealing them. What a bunch of losers. Get a life, Panther fans. I won’t even bother teling you to get a football program – that’s an exercise in futility!!!

You really got to that Burgher guy, Adam. Dude seems about primed to stroke out.

Too bad you can’t post that beautiful ‘Yellow Out’ pic over there beside a shot of a Whiteout.

Has a football team?

Just kidding. Somewhere I have a button from back in the day that says Shitt on Pitt. I was just a kid but wore it with pride! I think my dad had a t-shirt, or at least one of my uncles.
