All Your WPIAL Linemen Are Belong To Us

Whoo_siren_medium_medium

Gimme a bunch of sad-sack Panther fans and a hearty "woooooo!"

 

Another day, another western Pennsylvania lineman.  Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to Tom Ricketts.

Nittany Whiteout says:

Well, if the Miles Dieffenbach commitment to Penn State indicated that Wanny’s Wall had sprung a leak, then today’s newsindicates that it’s been all but torn down.  Tom Ricketts, an offensive lineman from North Allegheny High School just outside of Pittsburgh announced Wednesday that he would play for the Nittany Lions.  The dominos continue to fall Penn State’s way early in this recruiting season, as Ricketts completes the trifecta of top WPIAL offensive lineman to commit to Penn State.  In doing so, he joins Dieffenbach and Luke Graham, who Ricketts calls, not for nothing, close friends.  He had visited State College at the Nike camp last month, and joins a growing number of invitees who have chosen to go blue.

 

As for that wall that Dave Wannstedt pledged to build around western Pennsylvania, well...

We remain in awe of your photoshopping skills.

At what point do we actually start feeling sorry for Pitt fans? What?  Never?  Fine.  Oh, and don't forget to check our newfangled recruiting thread.

And, just to pile on, Wanny's record as the Pitt head coach:

2005:  5-6, losses to Notre Dame, Ohio (Bobcats, not Buckeyes), Nebraska, Rutgers, Louisville, WVU.

2006:  6-6, losses to Michigan State, and five straight losses at the end of the season to Rutgers, USF, UConn, WVU, and Louisville.

2007:  5-7, losses to Michigan State, UConn, Virginia, Navy, Louisville, Rutgers, and USF.

2008:  9-4, losses to Bowling Green, Rutgers, Cincy, and the stinkbomb against Oregon State.

Want to be taken seriously, Panthers?  Try beating Rutgers for a change.  Baby steps.  The guy's name is Schiano, not Lombardi.

Pitt's reaction

"We hugged as grown men do. It was a great moment. Then, it was business as usual." -- LJ Sr.

by millzners on Jun 3, 2009 8:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

The decisions of Ricketts and Dieffenbach are blows to Pitt because the Panthers were in the running for both. Also, Ricketts’ father, Tom, was a standout lineman at Pitt in the 1980s. Ricketts’ mother, Sandy, was a swimmer at Pitt. Tom and Sandy Ricketts also have season tickets to Pitt football games.

So Tom and Sandy have season tickets

They must be wearing their yellow in the “Yellow Out”. They’ll be going to fewer games the next four years.

It would be a shame if Pitt lost its only two season ticket holders because of this.

lol @ this quote from that thread

hve to say that these kids REALLY screwed up by going to Nitter High. Pitt is where every good offensive lineman should be looking real hard at attending college. Pitt has a professional/NFL guy coaching their offensive lines…and I’m hoping he turns out to be another Joe Moore. He and DW have bocu NFL ties AND…Pitt is literally dying for good offensive line recruits. Forget the QB, Pitt’s offensive problems start with the five guys upfront. No, we’re not PSU, we are Pitt. There is no comparison when it comes to an education, Pitt takes a backseat to no other schools.

I don’t know diddly about Diffenbach or his Dad but I remember Tom Ricketts very well. Had a decent career at Pitt but was always overrated IMHO. Te fact that he was a #1 draft pick of the Steelers and the way he blew up mkes me think, “Hmmm, let his kid go elsewhere…like father, ike son.” Bt in reality, if I were a stud ofensive lineman, I’d really consider Pitt because of the education AND the very realistic opportunity to play lot sooner than say at Ohio State or Nitter High.

US News & World Report University Rankings
Penn State: 47
Pitt: 58

So not only is Pitt taking a backseat to 57 other schools, but one of those schools is where the kid decided to go.

Also:

Pitt has a professional/NFL guy coaching their offensive lines

I’m pretty sure all college coaches are professional, but I’m even more sure that if you’re a college coach, then you’re NOT an NFL guy (but hey, I got my education at Penn State, not at Pitt)

Those Pitt posters are thrilling

They post how the Nits never develop NFL talent on the O-line (not true) and how our guys “blow-up” in the pros. Then they turn around and bash one of their own. Don’t they realize they make one argument, then tear it down with the next comment?

by PaJoe on Jun 4, 2009 1:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I also like how their moderators will delete or edit posts by PSU fans

even if those posts don’t do anything but point out reality.

Example:
ORPSU originally posts

1. Oregon St. was missing their two best players in the Sun Bowl.
2. The same team you lost to 3-0 (while they were missing their best two players), we pounded the living crap out of (when they had those two players).
3. I’m on Penn St. boards all the time and I don’t think I’ve seen one person say USC was “lucky” to get out of that game. You are making that up.
4. Pitt lost to Bowling Green. Penn St. went into Columbus and won (though kudos for beating Iowa)
5. Numbers 1-4 and your post show what some Pitt fans can be like.

Which gets edited to this, by WeRNotTheirRivals:

1. Oregon St. has interesting uniforms.
2. I think it may rain today.
3. You are making that up.
4. I like potatoes.
5. I like them fried, I like them mashed, I like potatoes.

granted 4 & 5 weren’t necessary for ORPSU to post, and 3 is a personal observation, but 1 and 2 were very relevant points.

by PaJoe on Jun 4, 2009 1:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

ooh, which brings up a good question

would we be willing to play a Thursday night game if it got us a better schedule?

by The JuggerNitt on Jun 4, 2009 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I really hate the mid week games.

 I did like watching the MAC teams when they sort of started it a few years ago. But I could turn them off after 15 minutes or so and not feel like I missed something. If we played Thursday night, I would need to take Thursday to prepare and Friday to recover. So, two vacation days shot.

However, if it were like the football classics, where we had a real top team….USC, Texas, Okla, FL…I’d say go for it, but make sure we prostituted ourselves enough to make big, big $$$$.

I don’t think I’d take Western OSU on a Thursday night whether in Beaver Stadium or St. Louis or whereever. It would have to be a MNC level opponent.

by PaJoe on Jun 4, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It will never happen at Beaver Stadium

But at Rutgers in a few years is a real possibility.

I believe you're correct

I remember that was supposed to be a home Thursday night game, but got pushed to later in the season.

by Screen Name 20 on Jun 4, 2009 2:22 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Huh?

We’ve never planned to do a Thur night home game and almost certainly never will unless there is massive changes to college football scheduling. Given our situation of having a very large stadium and drawing people from hours away to fill it, a Thur night game would be extremely disruptive.

All that may be a long way of say that, yes, the planned Thur night game against UVa was in Charlottesville, not in University Park.

by Laaaaazzz on Jun 4, 2009 2:30 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Right.

I don’t think we are philosophically opposed to the idea of a Thursday night game, but it’s just not practical for Penn State to do.

written on their board LOLZ
Thanks for the softball question. These dough boy linemen that have decided to move on to the cow pastures of oblivion don’t matter a crap about this upcoming season. Same goes for P Jones. Last year PITT was one touchdown away in their bowl game from having a season for the ages. Turns out the td never came and the sky has been falling ever since. Things are what they are. Many including myself believe this upcoming season will will be a positive turning point towards the future. This recruiting class sucks big time. Losing some of these marginal players will not define PITTs future. Our record next year will. Being a PITT football fan gives everyone the right to voice their displeasure or happiness. I choose the latter.

by STU Boy on Jun 3, 2009 10:05 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

yeah

“season for the ages”. Ha. As I’ve said before, Pitt goes 9-4 and it’s a great season and close to being historic and a big step forward.

PSU goes 9-4 and packs of wolves are out arguing to fire their legendary coach and shake thing up due to the disappointment.

It’s why I never really understand why Pitt fans are so insecure about their place in college football. PSU is a superior program; It happens, deal with it. There are over 100 1-A schools. Pitt is certainly in the top half of those schools in terms of football prestige, but there’s no particular shame in not being as good as one of the elite schools like PSU. For some reason though Pitt fans can’t seem to accept their place and have to make silly arguments to try to pretend they are something they are not.

I swear that most people out there that evaluate college football teams don’t actually look at losses/gains in players. They just look at the previous season, think “well, they’re more experienced this year, so if they can just not make the stupid mistakes they’ll win 1-2 more games” and fail to realize that more experience doesn’t help when they’ve run out of eligibility.

Headless chickens discuss "perspective"

Bless their irrelevant little hearts, they’re trying:

“Here’s the difference between Pitt and Penn State fans. Pitt’s defense puts on an amazing display in holding Oregon State to a field goal, a team that goes on to have a school record 7 players drafted and an offense that scored 27 on USC. Sure we crap the bed on offense, but the overwhelming feel coming out of that game is one of defeat and despair. On the other hand, PSU gets absolutely trounced by USC, exposing a disparity hidden by the Nitters joke of a schedule, and you’d think, after listening and reading their fans, that the Trojans were lucky to get out of that game alive.”

In reality...

…I think that picture has done just as much damage to Pitt’s reputation as their losing to MAC jokesters and Big East pretenders. They’re a program that can’t even get a beautiful, NFL stadium 1/4 filled.

Their own fans don’t care enough to show up. Their coach is a running punchline among both college and NFL fans. They play in a crap conference. They routinely blow games to teams like Bowling Green, Ohio, etc., at least once per year.

You know, we’re eventually going to get to the point where I’m insulted that we’re recruiting the same players as them.

In fairness...

We were playing much different versions of the Beavers. We got them when they were still finding their way (read: completely healthy), whereas the Panthers had to play them at their seasoned best (read: missing their two biggest playmakers on offense). When you look at it objectively like that, it’s pretty easy to see why you should ignore our 31 point margin of victory relative to their shutout loss.

Plus, Pitt totally held them to 3 points. We allowed a ridiculous 14. So take that!!

I think JayPa needs some credit...

naming the offense “Spread HD” gives them a talking about when talking to recruits. Much like saying we run the “West Coast Offense” or the “Single Wing” or “The Spread”..it gives PSU something as its own. And with the Success DC had with the Spread HD…players with similar styles see that, and want to come on for the ride.

I get that to a certain point...

however if you had to choose between Corey Brown an instate talent at running back and Marcus Lattimore, out of state, who would you go for?

Assumptions:
The one you choose will go to PSU
Both high character guys
Both qualify
Lattimore is higher rated by recruiting gurus

Does it matter that we take an in state guy when we could have brought in the #1 at the position even though he is not from PA.

I would take the guy that PSU coaches think is the best fit for PSU...not who Rivals and Scout think. Remember, they said Poz was a 3*...they were wayyy off.

Take the best player…but it is nice for once to see Ohio State not getting our best guys early in the game.

I agree with the have

faith in our coaches comment. I was trying to frame it in a in state vs. out of state issue rather than a validity of the STARS.

If PSU was losing in state talent to rivals and just signing a bunch of empty uniforms I would count myself among those bemoaning the loss of in state talent.

So far I haven’t seen anyone doing to us what LJSr has done in MD. For every guy Pitt, OSU, UM, NJRU were able to get out of PA, PSU has done a nice job pulling an equal or better talent from elsewhere.
