Making The Hate Easy

Filed under: Football,Opponent(s) — Chas @ 7:37 am

I am on the record as saying this is not a “Rivalry Game,” simply because it has been on hiatus for so long that the mood is a little different. These aren’t fanbases that have affection for each other. There is all the stuff in-state, especially with recruiting. But it is hard to call it a rivalry game.

But damn if the Nits don’t do their part to make me want it so, just for the hate.

This piece will likely go down as one of the epics in arrogance and cluelessness. Even people that hate Pitt or even favor Penn State, just found it so bad.

That Nitters can still think of them as having an elite status in anything related to football other than comparing stadium sizes. And, well, that just screams of Trumpian hands compensation issues.

Penn State has won a whopping 7 games more than Pitt since 2000, and as Justin pointed out on Twitter, PSU last went on the road to play a non-con P5 opponent in 2012. And lost. To Virginia.

This should be fun.





Oh my, is it nasty, nasty on social media.

A fevered pitch as I’ve looked over it this morning.

If anyone is on Facebook. I suggest going to
Pitt Panther Fanatics. Pretty big group, 2-3K people.

Hilarious, absolutely friggin’ hilarious.

At least we recognize our program has sucked for thirty years. PSU fans actually think they are still competitive, and of course still worship Paterno.

Comment by gc 09.09.16 @ 8:48 am

in this millennium, only in 2005 and 2008, when PSU shared the B10 title, can they claim they had a better team than Pitt. A few years, Pitt was probably better but mostly it would have been a crapshoot.

I grew up in Rhode Island. We only grow sailers and hockey players there. Went to my first Pitt game as a frosh in 1987. Totally confused that we would be saying “Penn State Sucks” during EVERY rendition of the Pitt fight song. Had no clue why anyone seemed to care so much about Penn State, especially while we were busy crushing NC State.

Went to every football game. Slowly started to understand what college football was all about. Then we played Penn State. Wow, what a game. 10-0 Pitt. We all stormed the field. My roommate stole one of the telephones to call up to the booth. 🙂 Pure bedlam and joy.

It was then that I fully understood.

Penn State DOES suck.

Hail to Pitt.

I sat thru 4 seasons of poopy pants rubbing our noses in it. The hate came easily – and quickly! I’ll say it one more time, cuz it makes me smile: psux’!!

Comment by Savannah Panther 09.09.16 @ 10:57 am

The type of Bullshit I hear everyday living in central PA. Arrogance when being humble is required.
Showing the rest of the country why Pitt fans hate PSU. The rest of the country will be onboard on the hate PSU train on the 17th when the truly delusional among PSU crew honor their god Joe Paterno during the Temple game.

Tony, I get it. I work less than 1 hr from State College and the cult is alive and crazier than ever. It’s actually disgusting on so many levels. Somehow we have to find a way to win this game.

Comment by JJ 09.09.16 @ 11:12 am

Chas, thanks for the link. That was just the “primer” that I needed to put me in the right frame of mind for this game. So basically the writer of the article would have us believe that losing a game that will be broadcast to the entire country (regardless of who you are playing) is no big deal. OK.

Pitt 18 Penn St 15 F H2P

Penn State sucks, always did always will.

Their fans are cult like, morally bankrupt and delusional.

We are going to kick their asses tomorrow and Franklin’s seat will be a bit warmer.

Comment by WLAT 910 radio and the big beat! 09.09.16 @ 1:01 pm

Just got an email from Pitt. Apparently Penn State returned some tickets! Wow!

Comment by wally 09.09.16 @ 1:25 pm

The current attendance record for a PGH sporting event is 68,918 which saw Pitt beat Fordham in 1938. This can top that

Comment by wbb 09.09.16 @ 1:42 pm

DD, thanks for the story. That’s a great one.

Comment by Praise the Lard 09.09.16 @ 2:34 pm

any news on the uni’s for tomorrow?

Comment by markp 09.09.16 @ 2:46 pm

The pedos play 7-8 home games every year to assure a crap bowl game while we and most every other school gets 6 home games. No wonder they never beat OOC P5 teams.

Comment by Jackagain 09.09.16 @ 3:56 pm

So the 7th best team in the Big 10 wants an appropriate rival? Didn’t the AAC send them Rutgers?

Comment by 2$Chuck 09.09.16 @ 5:09 pm

Baylor their logical rival

Comment by steve1 09.09.16 @ 6:43 pm

Chas,
Two Trump jabs in a row! Classy as Hillary! :>) We got a huge game tomorrow and your talking about a guys hands – Really?

Comment by pittman4ever 09.09.16 @ 11:20 pm

Contrary to one of the Pedo commenters on that ridiculous onwardPedoState site. No division that included Buttgers(lol), the Twerps (lol) and Indiana (triple lol) could ever be considered the best division in College football. But maybe the worst would fit.

Again showing how delusional these Pedo Cult members are.

Crush Franklinstein the Charlatan and the Pedo Cult !

Comment by Emel 09.10.16 @ 6:43 am

lol pittman4ever.

Hillary is stumbling around and needs helped up stairs because she is carrying around about 20 lbs. of botex in that puss of hers.

Prism glasses anyone.

Comment by Emel 09.10.16 @ 6:46 am

Best sign so far “Hillary deleted Joe Pa’s e-mail”

HTP!

Comment by Erie Express 09.10.16 @ 8:45 am

You guys can’t take a joke. Must be real difficult to watch late night TV.

Emel, that is even beneath you, a misogynistic comment on a females looks.

No problem with dyed yellow hair, extra makeup and raccoon eyes on your guy. Ever see him in a golf outfit, pretty funny. Bet he spends more time looking in a mirror than his opponent.

Comment by gc 09.10.16 @ 10:18 am

Waiting for the no politics cry now.

Comment by gc 09.10.16 @ 10:20 am

gc, go ahead and insult Trump. Clinton is a criminal, a liar and an inept public servant. As fof the article, whaddya expect from that fanbase? Penn State has its football program, a growing hockey program, a decent wrestling program….and a schol that turns out dolts. i have worked with too many of them.

Comment by Penguins Fan 09.10.16 @ 8:13 pm

Penguin Fan, I didn’t start the insults, just responded in kind.

Really rather not mix politics with the Pitt talk.

Comment by gc 09.10.16 @ 9:34 pm

I don’t watch late nite TV, well I do, but it’s not that tripe that is more liberal propaganda than entertainment.

Pure Garbage. Like the Rob Low roast. What filth.

I guess it hurts to be an Ann Coulter Fan.

Comment by gc 09.12.16 @ 7:36 am

Hill’s health a conspiracy theory….really.

At least Ann doesn’t have Pneumonia.
Another lie from the Queen of liars.

Comment by Emel 09.12.16 @ 3:45 pm

Mr. Trump is Mr Truth with the “Dude” writing his medical status report, and not releasing his taxes which will show how much of a con he is.

Emel, this argument is useless, neither of us will convince the other. Why not keep it about Pitt Sports?
