A late Saturday night game means no opinion columns made the papers for Sunday. Just game recaps. Pittsubrhg Tribune-Review and Post-Gazette point to Pitt’s strength and complete dominance.
In the Syracuse papers, they too talk of Pitt’s muscle, and being too overpowering.
One of the themes is that Syracuse was held to its lowest point total ever in the Carrier Dome, and the lowest since 1968.
The best write-up came from Orangenation.net. I have to say that the guys running this site seem to be total class and are not just fanboys but honest in their assessments and breakdowns. They paid respect to Pitt, and this stood out to me.
That’s the toughest thing about this loss- we got beat up and mauled by a team that plays, (and I say this with admiration), like the school-yard bully. Boeheim said after the game “We have to get tougher.” If we don’t we will go down to Pittsburgh a month from now, (February 29th), wondering if they are going to steal our lunch money.
Imagine, Pitt as the bully against ‘Cuse. I feel warm inside, and not just because of the bourbon.
