As BigEast.org comes up on my screen, I see the Pitt and West Virginia logos near the top. You would think it might say “Listen Live For Free To The Backyard Brawl”.

Nope…

No doubt the higher-ups of the Big East offices want to see West Virginia advance to the BCS title game. Will the refs give the Mountaineers a few calls? Conspiracy theory? Or am I just looking for an excuse after White/Slaton put up 600 yards and 50 points on us?





Here, let me get it out of the way on this thread:

so chasy was published on college football talk, nothing pitt related, but just a little pub. link to collegefootballtalk.com scroll to bottow, harbaugh jaunce, good work chas! and the coaches shouldn’t be fired, 2 years, then they go if they don’t win 8-10, silly to keep on rotating new coaches in, it won’t do anything but hurt an already bad program. relax, pitt hasn’t been good in 30 years, what’s 2 more?

Pattern salary mystery solved
The long-awaited secret is out: Joe Paterno’s salary this year will be $512,664.
What the information from the retirement system doesn’t show is other compensation, such money from television and apparel contracts, that Paterno may earn

Comment by TMGPanther 11.29.07 @ 9:25 pm

Lady and gents, face it, if WVU needs the refs to win this game, they don’t deserve to be in the top 50, let alone #1.

Don’t think the naysayers are local paranoids like me either. Anyone hear PTI? Both the slobbering fat one and the old Jewish grandpa dissed us big time. The world is well aware we stink.

Great bulletin board material for the team. It will be interesting to see how we respond.

Anyone see Holtz’ peptalk for Pitt on ESPN tonight?

It was kind of lame. Mark May came out in an old Pitt jersey and for the love of God dude looks like he could go out and play tomorrow!

Comment by Jimbo Covert's my Dad 11.29.07 @ 10:11 pm

Mark May could go out and line up with Otah and both of them would shut the crowd up. Did he use up his eligibility? Damn.

by the way, congrats to ricky jackson and russ grimm for being on the list of semi-finalists for the hall of fame this year. also, marshall goldberg is on the list from the senior’s committee. it would really be great to see 3 pitt guys get inducted in the same year.

The good news is that whatever happens on Saturday night, Morgantown will get burnt to the ground either way.

Comment by Joey D 11.29.07 @ 11:39 pm

Amen.

In BBall news, folks in chicago are pleading for Gray to get more time, thinking he’s the answer to their awful season:

link to suntimes.com

“Among the many suggestions offered to jump-start the Bulls, one of the most popular ones expressed by fans on the radio or online is to play rookie center Aaron Gray more. Entering Tuesday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, Gray had played 39 minutes in six games, scoring 16 points on 6-for-13 shooting.”

Skiles pays it some lip service, lofts an insult, and it seems pretty certain he’ll continue sitting on the bench watching them be awful. I really wish we could see what he can do in the NBA, i’m truly curious…

Comment by Stuart 11.30.07 @ 12:31 am

Wow, you boys are smart!!! sPITT paying DW more than PSU pays Paterno (500,000 compared to 700,00).

Thats only $175,000 per win for you morons!!

Nice gold out for the South Florida game, oh wait, those were EMPTY SEATS!

Final score: WVU 84 Pitt 3

The old hillbilly STOMP!! Keep dreamin – your program sucks, try and catch up to UConn or South Florida before you start running your mouths!

Comment by F-Pitt!! 11.30.07 @ 7:09 am

Check your vision, It wasn’t a gold out it was a yellow out! Sounds like your parents performed the hillbilly stomp on your head too many times.

Penn State sucks but WVU swallows, you suck you moron!!!

Go crawl back under a rock in Frametown you toothless loser!

Comment by HoopDeVlle 11.30.07 @ 7:45 am

I think Pitt is the only team to have a nat’l championship in the Big East??? WVU may join that list of 1. Syracuse doesnt have any do they?

Comment by Adam 11.30.07 @ 9:21 am

Cuse went undefeated and untied in 1959. That is the current Big East’s only other national champion.

AD Search is apparently over…

Paul Zeise reports on the Post-Gazette website that Steve Pederson will be introduced this afternoon as Pitt’s new AD.

Comment by Stoosh 11.30.07 @ 9:53 am

Wow! I have to say I am impressed with the willingness to go back to Pederson. I think this is a great hire. He did an excellent job when he was here. Hopefully he inks Jamie Dixon to the extension he deserves.

Comment by Omar 11.30.07 @ 9:58 am

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

seriously, what the fuck. i hate pitt’s administration. at least go out there and pretend like you arent lazy and incompentent and actually interview some people. dont just go back to what you know. son of a bitch i hate steve pederson. thanks to his bill callahan hire nebraska is a joke of a football program, and i havent seen their basketball team in the tournament yet. if we go back to ‘pittsburgh’ again ill be even more pissed.

sorry for the language, im not happy, and havent even had my caffeine this morning.

PETERSON IS COMING BACK TO PITT AS A.D!!!! Think he’ll hire Callahan as his football coach?

Comment by Bob 11.30.07 @ 10:10 am

He hired Walt and Ben Howland. Had the Peterson Events Center built. He basically put Pitt athletics back on the map. I don’t see what the problem is, he did a great job when he was here.

Comment by Omar 11.30.07 @ 10:15 am

Yeah he did a good job.. I am still bitter he left.. I understand why, but i just wish there was someone else we couldhave. I said it before though.. He really was the only guy…
Omar,
I agree he did a good job..

Comment by Adam 11.30.07 @ 10:25 am

ill give him credit on the howland hire, that was great. everything else? walt was good, but anything was better than hackett and majors. the peterson center is nice, but why tear down pitt stadium for it and force us to share heinz field like we are some crappy school that cant afford their own? tear down trees hall or put it down in panther hollow. taking away ‘pitt’ and the ‘penn state sucks’ part of the fight song when everyone in the country knows us as pitt?

Comment by matt in orlando 11.30.07 @ 10:30 am

plus, he LEFT pitt. if he wanted to go somewhere else, why take him back?

Comment by matt in orlando 11.30.07 @ 10:31 am

Well, the removal of Pitt stadium was certainly signed off on by people higher up than Peterson. So, not sure how much credit/hatred should be directed his way for that. He hired the only two coaches worth anything (Dixon, while not hired by Peterson was brought in with Howland) in the last 25 years….including Walt when Pitt was worse than Temple as a coaching destination.

IMO, just maintain status quo on the B-Ball front (both programs in VERY good shape with Agnes and Jamie….don’t rock the boat and keep ’em happy) and take care of football.

Comment by George 11.30.07 @ 10:39 am

I understand the charm associated with a campus-based stadium, but I don’t recall Pitt Stadium having much charm. Let’s face it…South Bend or Ann Arbor, it was not. If it was still there, most people would be complaining about why a program like Pitt couldn’t have more modern facilities in which to play their games.

Heinz Field isn’t perfect, but maybe if Pitt had a fanbase that was willing to come out and support the team NO MATTER WHAT – you know, like you see at most of those other iconic schools – the opinions of it would be different. Too many Pitt fans need it to be worth their while and their money to get them to go to games. They need to see either a marquee opponent or a winning Pitt team. That’s not the case at these other schools. Until that changes, they could be playing in The Big House or South Bend or The Swamp or Death Valley and it isn’t going to make a damn bit of difference.

I was a season ticket holder in 2003 and no one had a problem making that 10-minute trip from Oakland to the North Shore. The place was packed. Why? The team was competitive (at least one prerequisite for Pitt fans to show up).

But what’s more…it felt like a college football atmosphere, not the Arena League/Minor-league football atmosphere we’ve had here the last couple of years.

Comment by Stoosh 11.30.07 @ 11:06 am

Here is some terrfic news, just when you think PITT might go out and hire a quality A.D….Pitt re-hires Pederson. I guess some things never change. job…link to post-gazette.com

As a PSU fan, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but please please PLEASE beat WVU this weekend!! Nothing could be worse than seeing that overrated bunch in the NC…

Please? Go Panthers?

Comment by Cpiritual 11.30.07 @ 12:33 pm

thats the problem with pitt fans like stoosh. in 2003 is when we played an awsome home schedule and were ranked preseason. Why did you not continue your season tickets? i have been a holder since 2002 and havent missed a home game yet. When Pitt rebuilds its football, we dont want fans like you to come..
I also think the rehire of pederson was a stupid move for pitt or should i now say pittsburgh.

If it pains you so much, I hope WVU wins then. Go Big East!

Comment by mike 11.30.07 @ 1:07 pm

pitt stadium aside…he left us, why take him back? what did he do at nebraska that warrants another job? doesnt it smack of the laziness of pitt’s administration? that part bothers me too, although not nearly as much as the hire.

its sad, ive actually had some friends from Va Tech tell me they are rooting for us this weekend. makes me feel dirty inside.

Comment by matt in orlando 11.30.07 @ 1:12 pm

Hail to Pitt,

Kudos to you for being a good fan, and I mean that with all sincerity.

But how about packing a parachute the next time you want to take a leap like that by automatically assuming I’m not a bad fan, huh?

Or how about next time, let’s hold off on derogatory assumptions when it would’ve been just as easy and infinitely more polite to simply ASK MY WHY I DIDN’T RENEW THEM beforehand, K?

If you must know, I couldn’t afford to continue getting season tickets. I lost two very close family members within three months of each other and helped my family defray funeral costs in each case. I had a car at the time that was bleeding me dry with repairs right around the time I was saving up for an engagement ring. I got engaged in January of 2004 and had a year and a half to save up for a wedding for which my wife and I would have to foot most of the bill. On top of that, my wife shatterred her leg in an accident in mid-January that kept her out of work for the better part of three or four months, and unfortunately. Her short-term disability was practically non-existent and the insurance wasn’t much better in terms of picking up all the doctor’s bills.

Since that time, we got married, bought a house, bought a new car, and sunk something around $25,000 into the new house for renovations that had to be taken care of to really make the house livable…you know, generally a lot of the things that newlywed couples try to do to start making a nice, comfortable, survivable living for themselves.

Needless to say, as much as I would’ve loved to have gotten Pitt season tickets in each of the previous three seasons, the disposable income hasn’t quite been there. Some more important things have taken over on the high priority list.

Now, if it’ll still allow me back into the stadium when the program is rebuilt, I’ve gone to as many games as money and schedules will allow, and that’s been two or three home games in each of the past few seasons with the exception of this one. Time constraints and scheduling issues allowed me only to get to the Grambling game.

Obviously, I didn’t expect you to know any of the aforementioned reasons why I wasn’t able to keep my season tickets after that 2003 season. My heart, I would hope, is in the right place here. I count Pitt football as my second favorite sports team in town, behind only the Penguins. I love rooting for the team, following the team and as soon as my wife and I can make room for them, we plan on getting tickets again.

I desperately hope that all the reasons I outlined above for having to forego my season tickets will be well received by Pitt Nation. I hope the eight or nine games I’ve gone to since I gave up those tickets will be looked upon favorably and it’ll be enough to let me back into your club, because I desperately wish to be a part of it when Pitt football is rebuilt.

On second thought, you could’ve asked nicely. You could’ve asked why I didn’t renew them or made some attempt to understand why extenuating circumstances and that little thing called REAL LIFE sometimes gets in the way. You didn’t, because it was apparently a lot easier to assume I’m just a bad fan.

So I’ll be as polite as I can.

Politely go fuck yourself.

Comment by Stoosh 11.30.07 @ 1:51 pm

Hail to Pitt,

I think Pitt NEEDS fans like him to come to games so we’ll all stop bitching about attendance.

Face it, in the ‘burgh if you’re not the Stillers and maybe the Penguins (or the Pirates on fireworks night), you have to win to bring in the fans.

It’s common of all pro-city college teams.

The fans would have gone to Pitt Stadium for a winner, just like they’ll go to Heinz Field, and like they’d show up at a new on-campus stadium.

USF finally started to draw this year in a stadium that’s a 25 minute drive from their campus BECAUSE THEY’RE WINNING!

Cincinatti is drawing now too, (repeat it with me) BECAUSE THEY’RE WINNING!

It’s not rocket science. I’d rather Pitt have their own new stadium in Oakland myself, but I’m not fooling myself into thinking that a new stadium alone will increase attendance. Winning does that.

Look at Miami. The most successfull college football program of the last 25 years. Have you seen their attendance at the Orange Bowl the last two years? Worse than Pitt’s at times. The place looked about 1/2 full for their big “let’s say goodbye to the Orange Bowl” game this year (which they got mauled in).

If you’re a college team in a pro-sports city like Pittsburgh, Cincy, Miami, Tampa (USF is actually in the suburbs because in Tampa the suburbs are part of the city limits geographically… yeah I don’t get it either) YOU MUST WIN TO DRAW FANS!!!

See, in West Virginia there’s a lot of Steeler fans. But those people are still all Mountaineer fans first, Steeler fans second.

Up the road in an actually civilized area like Pittsburgh, the people are Steelers (and sometimes Penguins and even Pirates) fans first, then they might pay attention to Pitt athletics if they’re good.

It’s not a unique situation.

And BTW, if Pederson changes us back to “Pittsburgh” I’m going to fucking scream. I was just trying to get all of my newbie college football fan friends down here to stop calling us “Pittsburgh”, and call us what we SHOULD be called…. PITT!!!

Comment by Jimbo Covert's my Dad 11.30.07 @ 1:56 pm

Stoosh,
i did ask why you didnt renew your tickets. i appoligize if i offended you, but there were many people without reasons who had season tickets in 2003 because of the schedule, and then dropped them afterwards..look at the attendance the last 5 years…Every college team goes thre its ups and downs, but the great schools keep there fan base.

Comment by hail to pitt 11.30.07 @ 2:02 pm

Why does Steve Pederson automatically trigger a discussion about stadiums?

I guess what happened was that instead of expanding Pitt Stadium to keep up with the constantly filled seating area for every game, he had the place torn down.

Do you really think more than 30,000 people would go to an on-campus stadium this year? No. Sure they may go to see a new stadium but if there still was Pitt Stadium there would be 25,000 people and everyone else would say “well, parking in oakland is a pain; traffic in oakland is a pain; it is raining; i have to repaint the shed”

If the team has expectations and wins, you get 60,000 to Heinz Field to watch Kent State & Ball State.

Stadium location is a terrible excuse. Pittsburgh doesn’t need another stadium used 6 days a year, there is nowhere to put it in oakland, oakland is a mess anyway and Heinz Field is fine. There is parking, public transit and free buses for students.

Without a large, loyal fanbase – the only way to generate attendance is by winning. That is what Pitt must do.

Comment by Joey D 11.30.07 @ 2:17 pm

OK SO NOW PEDERSON IS BACK……DOES THAT MEAN WE GET WALT BACK TOO…..WE SHOULD HAVE HIRED PELINI WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE SOME PEOPLE SHOULD REMAIN COORDINATERS DAVE!!!!

Comment by Scott L 11.30.07 @ 2:20 pm

Everyone,

I sincerely apologize if the language in my rant got out of hand in my post above, and I also apologize for the length of the post. Some things just needed to be explained a bit and I felt the need to adequately defend myself a bit there.

It’s disingenuous of me to assume that every Pitt student or fan who doesn’t attend each game is a bad fan. I realize that by referring to the Pitt fanbase as “discerning consumers”, I MAY have been lumping in a bunch of fans who didn’t deserve that tag.

That’s not the point I was trying to make.

There are plenty of fans – fans and students alike – who would love to be at the games but can’t for one reason or another. For anyone to think I wasn’t capable of drawing that distinction is asinine. My initial rant was not directed at those fans because that’s completely devoid of common sense; don’t blame someone for missing games for legitimate reasons.

Instead, blame the fans who COULD go but WON’T because the opponent isn’t good enough or the team isn’t good enough. They have the money. They have the time. They could go. They don’t go because they don’t WANT to go. Why? Because the team or the opposition or some combination of both isn’t good enough.

THOSE are the “fans/discerning consumers” that people like “Hail to Pitt” need to be upset with.

These discerning consumers are the first people to complain about the state of the program, the coach or the inability to close with a good recruit. Ironically, they’re almost always the first ones to complain when Pitt doesn’t garner the same kind of national prestige and isn’t thought of along the same lines as iconic programs, or even second-tier programs like Maryland, Virginia, Iowa, etc…programs with less prestige and less “name pop”, but programs that still sell out practically every weekend.

These iconic programs and even these second-tier programs are more highly thought-of because their fan bases will turn out no matter what. Their fans don’t care who they’re playing or how their team is doing. The first, second and third reasons they’re there is to support their own school.

Those other programs have many more fans and far fewer discerning consumers.

That’s the point I was trying to make.

Comment by Stoosh 11.30.07 @ 2:20 pm

Hail to Pitt,

Correct. You DID ask me.

But before giving me a chance to respond, you said, “When Pitt rebuilds its football, we dont want fans like you to come.” Isn’t that pretty much assuming that I bailed on the tickets for the wrong reasons? Isn’t that assuming that I was only getting tickets that year because the team was good and the schedule was good, and the instant that didn’t exist anymore, I dropped them?

Couldn’t you have at least given me the chance to respond first? A lot of people bailed on their tickets that year for wrong reasons. I don’t think my reasons were the wrong ones. I wanted to renew them but didn’t because I simply couldn’t afford it.

That’s why I was offended by it. I apologize for the strong response and for the language I used in it. I just wouldn’t appreciated a chance to explain WHY I didn’t renew them after 2003. It had nothing to do with a less-attractive schedule or anything involving the program and everything to do with the very simple fact that my wife and I have not since had the disposable income to invest in season tickets.

As soon as we do, I plan on getting them again.

Comment by Stoosh 11.30.07 @ 2:28 pm

lets face it and not defend it my father and i dropped our tix this year becasue of a few shining moments the last two years…..FURMAN, GRAMBLING, AND THE CITADEL….. yes i will re up next year, i also had a lot of travel that did not allow me to join my father for the games this year sowe said f-it; not like it will be difficult to purchase again right??? long sotry short take a page out of ND, schedule your self to be competitive and not play a homecoming game every weekend. the big est is more than deserving of national rankings but it is a team like PITT lets go pitt….. that makes appalacian state look like a more qualityu program at this time. we have the history we have the alums. so, we could continue to act like western pennsylvanians and just bitch piss and moan or we could actually do something about it……fuck the eers!!!!

Comment by Scott L 11.30.07 @ 2:38 pm

Contract Extension for everybody’s favorite ‘stache…

link to post-gazette.com

you would think that they would wait until after we upset WVU tomorrow, but whatever… for all that a contract means in college football, I guess it is not a big deal.

Hopefully it helps recruiting…

Comment by Tom 11.30.07 @ 2:38 pm

According to the post gazette, wanny’s getting a contract extension tomorrow.

link to postgazette.com

Good move in my opinion. He deserves a chance to get this program turned around. Plus, how many coaches out there will commit to Pitt for the longterm. We’re just a springboard for most up-and-coming coaches so I’m willing to give the Stache the benefit of the doubt.

Comment by Mark 11.30.07 @ 2:40 pm

Whether you agree with it or not, Wannstedt’s extension means a lot in terms of recruiting. He was going to be a lame duck going into next year, and recruits aren’t going to want to play for a guy who’s going to be gone at the end of their freshman years. I honestly believe that 2008 is the year we get back to where we belong, but it couldn’t hurt to start tomorrow by clobbering the ‘Eers.

Hail to Pitt

Comment by mjb 11.30.07 @ 2:59 pm

And he couldn’t hire new coordinators if he wants to make changes – no one is going to work for a guy that could be gone in a year. Thank god there is some good news. Now he can continue recruiting, so that even if a change needs to be made in the future, someone can step into a stockpile of talent.

Pederson – if i had to give a ranking from one to 100, he’d get an 80 for the last go round. He did most things right in my estimation, except for his fixation with fucking with our names colors logos, etc. LEAVE IT THE FUCK ALONE THIS TIME DICKHEAD.

He did a terrible job at Nebraska – and what i don’t get is, what is he going to do here now? I don’t see any major problems that we have to fix – is he just going to piss with things for the sake of pissing with things? We gonna change our logo to fill up Heinz field – listen, winning is the only way thats getting done. Please don’t do any stupid ass (further) embarassing promotions.

And it is embarassing for the university that we take our ol’ retread out of the barn and prop him up again. We couldn’t find anyone with new ideas?

I’m glad they’re going to make him stand up there and say “see, im not going to piss with your football program for the sake of pissing with it – or make it even worse (i know, hard to believe)” and force him to grant Wanny an extension on his first day. If he fired him, i would have strung him up myself. The last thing we need (besides starting a o line full of 2* “football players”) is to set the program back even further. Not like it has that far to go to hit rock bottom…

Hail to PittSBURGH (i swear to god if he does this again i’ll find where he lives…don’t piss with shit just for the sake of pissing around)

Comment by Stuart 11.30.07 @ 3:44 pm

I have been a Pitt season ticket holder for more years than I want to count. In just the last 18 years alone I have missed three home games. I am ready to give up my tickets because of the re-hiring of Pederson. The guy is a CARPETBAGGER. He took away our idenity, gave us some really crappy logos and uniforms and now he’s back! What was Nordenberg thinking or smoking when he went after Pederson? Wannstedt had better watch his back when he’s talking to Brutus. He’ll smile right at you while that knife goes deep into your back. This program is turning the corner, getting good recruits and Wannstedt is doing it right. Walt did alot for this program, but he also ruined relations with alot of schools, never went after quality linemen and was a poor gameday coach. Yeah we went to bowls, but what good is going to a bowl just to get your ass kicked? Extend Wannstedt’s contract and you’ll fill Heinz Field (another hellhole)as they are winning National Championships. As far as that MORON from Hillbilly Central saying PITT will loose 84-3 doesn’t he realize this is the Backyard Brawl. I’ve been to more of them than that Hillbilly has been seen in a bathtub! Expect the unexpected. I just hope after PITT beats these Hillbillies that they actually burn down that stinkhole of a town. PITT 27 Hillbillies 24. HAIL TO PITT

I just hope Wanny doesn’t have our team run out with the Mustard and Blue tomorrow….save that Karma until we are a decent team…right now some parts have made small progress…(read very small progress)…..and I don’t think Pitt can handle WVU especially after 2nd half adjustements….Pat White will throw on us if we sell out to beat the run…..just like last year…and then run roughshod in the 2nd half…..the key is whether our defense folds in the 2nd half like 05 & 06….if they do….no evidence of progress….and we lose 48-17…..or something biblical like that….Pederson will immediately call a press conference and bring back the crappy pather head logo….the panther “eye tooth” talisman….and ban “Pitt” logo to the scrap heap again….at least he’ll feel better

Comment by deter 11.30.07 @ 5:05 pm

I thought I would log onto the pitt website to see what the other side was talking about. What I read is like a soap opera, you all are a bunch of whiners crying about who’s not renewing their season tickets and what your new AD is going to do to embarass your school. If your coach recruits from the same pool of talent as your university’s alumni are from its no wonder your team sucks.
