I know we hate noon starts. The only one that seems to like them is my wife, because it means I don’t stay overnight, and I get back in time to help put the kids to bed.
Here’s how to have less of them. Win. Win more and the games get bumped to 3:30 and even a couple primetime slots. We are seeing that with the final month as the ND game goes all the way to a national showing at night. Keep winning and you can bet that the season finale with Cinci will be at worst a 3:30 start and perhaps another 7:30 or 8pm primetime event.
The game thread is open and I’ll be live-tweeting for most of the game.

wtf?
Hail to PITT!

The refs sure did try their best to let ‘cuse cover on that last td drive though!
Hail to Pitt!
I still can’t wrap my head around how NCAA granted Paulus gets a 5th year of eligibility.

It does suck that Notoriety Dame won’t be top 25 when we meet up, but it is always nice to see the Kool-Aid man and King Clausen lose.

I think we have a legitimate chance with Iowa, Oregon, State Penn, LSU all losing and since Houston doesn’t play anyone we should leap frog them…finally we definitely should be ranked above any 2 win team aka USC and Ohio State. So Pitt might possibly be ranked as high as number 8 but probably more likely 10th in the County!
Neither Cinncy or ND can stop the run….WVU playes Devine and Scott hurt….shaping up nicely. I think Pitt will be ranked #9 tomorrow at 3PM.. Hail to Pitt…
WVU is back in both polls, curiously one spot ahead of USF, who beat them…
I’m pretty sure that West Virginia’s not good this year, but I don’t have a vote in these things.
Whoever did the schedule is amazing. If either Pitt, Cincy or WVU sweeps they win outright. Pretty good way to keep things interesting.
Does anyone have the scoop on Shayne Hale? I thought he would be producing by now? Hail to PITT!
I thought that might be the case.
Hale saw some time at DE during those last couple of defensive series.
The coaches and harris both had us at 9, but the computers had us at 13.
That was a bit of a dissappointment.
WVU should be awesome as always. Tough backyard brawl.
Cinci…We all laughed with the inception of the half-assed river boat accelerator trophy, but maybe last year and this year could propel the ‘rivalry’. I use that term lightly, because State Penn also has a ‘rivalry’ with MSU, which we all know is ridiculous.

the “HYNOCEROS”
My friends and I have been calling him that since he got to Pitt and we have tried spreading it around, emailing sports writers, call-in-shows, etc.
It’s too perfect a name to not use and the announcers got close to it Saturday when they called him a baby rhino.
Anyone remember the last time Pitt was favored by 6.5 over ND? Wanny’s first game as a Pitt coach.
We owe the not so Irish a good bit of payback for that game. Wow #9/#9/#12 who’d have ever thunk it!
Nassir Robinson left early with an apparent dislocated finger but there was no official report. Chase Adams appears to be quite capable of running the offense. Should be a fun season watching this team get better game by game.
From the write-up about the game from Pitt’s atletic department, it appears that Travon Woodall is quite capable of running the offense.
Dante Taylor was not mentioned in the write-up.
