Nov. 29 (Fri.) —– Miami* (ABC, ESPN or ESPN2) — TBA

So don’t get too used to almost an entire season of non-weekday games (when there isn’t a holiday weekend), but this is a sweet start to Pitt in the ACC.





I was also at the 42-14 game. If I wasn’t there, I would have sworn that the teams changed jerseys after the 1 st quarter which Pitt totally dominated (14-0 lead with a TD called back for holding.)

One thing about the 1980 loss. Howard Cosell issued an editorial (or whatever) after watching the game, lambasting the southern referees for their bias. To my knowledge, Cosell ahd no alliance to Pitt .. but it may be why the NY Times voted Pitt as the No. 1 team in its final rankings.

Howard also gave a verbal editorial after we won our bowl game that although we wouldn’t be the number one ranked team, we were the best team in college football. I may have my years mixed up, it was after the Marino to Brown touchdown game.

gc, that was the year after in the Sugar Bowl. Thanks to the FSU loss and ND, we didn’t even get to a nEw Year’s bwl in ’80 yet finished 2nd in the polls. Beat the heck out of SoCarolina in the Gator Bowl

If they only had the BCS back in those days! Can’t believe I am saying that but it’s true, we may have played for 2 more. Well if Stevie doesn’t let them put on the script on labor day night against fsu, he will never. Perfect time! Seize this opportunity!!

Scholarship Offers have officially become ridiculous:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/alabama-makes-scholarship-offer-eighth-grader-already-had-140846289–ncaaf.html

“Given the incredible job Nick Saban has done recruiting for Alabama we probably also should just go ahead and assume that his latest target, linebacker/running back Dylan Moses, is going to be a star.

Just not for a pretty long time, considering Moses is in middle school.

Moses is an eighth grader from Baton Rouge (La.). AL.com reported that Alabama offered the scholarship over the weekend, at the Crimson Tide’s Junior Day event. Even though that sounds crazy to make scholarship promises to an eighth grader, Moses already has an offer from LSU as well.”

Comment by Coach Ditka 02.26.13 @ 10:31 am

I agree Coach…

I almost feel like there should be an age restriction on offers. These kids have a hard enough time when they’re 17/18. Having kids verbal when they’re 13/14? They have enough to worry about with the whole ‘becoming an adult’ thing.

EMel – I checked my old program. We went to Duke in 76 thinking that Dorsett may break the record there. He did not. Pitt won easily. But he did break it 2 weeks later and I was there at Navy who stopped the game (still unprecedented to this day) and gave Dorsett the ball. I have not missed a Pitt/Navy game home or away since I saw Staubach play Pitt in 63. Pitt’s only loss that year.

Just wanted to let you know I am not senile…yet!

Comment by Dan 72 02.26.13 @ 10:50 am

This kid could never grow up normal or without a huge ego/attitude. I actually feel sorry for him in a way. These predatory coaches like Saban are disgusting but I guess its that cut throat, no limits attitude that makes them successful on the field.

Comment by Coach Ditka 02.26.13 @ 10:51 am

Just For Fun:

Pitt v. FSU, Pitt leads series 5-3.

1971 L 13-31 Away
1972 L 7-19 Home
1974 W 9-6 Away
1978 W 7-3 Home
1980 L 22-36 Away
1981 W 42-14 Home
1982 W 37-17 Away Monsoon game.
1983 W 17-16 Home

Have won 3 in a row against them to go along with 4 in a row against Va. Tech going into ACC!!

**Game that broke our possible NC was 1980**

**We actually WON the “monsoon” game two years later. They still affectionately call it the “monsoon” game in Tallahasse.

Comment by Dan 02.26.13 @ 10:57 am

Had spaces between the W/L, score, and home/away, to make it more readable?? Don’t know why it condenses like that.

Some other button I should be hitting instead of the space bar???

Anyhow, sorry they’re all so compacted.

Comment by Dan 02.26.13 @ 11:04 am

An optimistic 8 and 4 with an asterisk.

House is a big concern. He’s already quoted as saying that unlike his predecessor you won’t find him spending nights sleeping at the office. Huxtable was known to make a practice of pulling all-nighters prior to games.

House says the successful coaches he knows are able to balance home life with work. Not one game under his belt and he’s already the expert on what the job of DC entails.

Big gamble by Chryst to select House while he himself is still trying to get the job of HC down. This year’s schedule certainly doesn’t improve the odds of success.

KUDOS TO THE PITT ATHLETIC DEPT!!!

Had to run downtown. At Rt.51 and Rt.88, there is an electronic billboard.

A very nice one. Very coloroful, graphics excellent.

It has several advertisements, that change back and forth.

I was looking at it, and to my suprise, a large Pitt helmet facing a Florida St helmet, with the stadium and some other things in the background.

Said something to the effect of “Labor Day”, “be there”!!!

Light turned green, so I couldn’t get a good study on it, but I can say, someone down at Pitt is on the ball!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Pitt Ath. Office, Excellent!!!!

Comment by Dan 02.26.13 @ 12:34 pm

File this under Pitt fans will always find something to complain about:

The schedule announcement has resulted in too many people buying tickets online and now I’m having trouble electronically renewing! Don’t people have something better to do! 🙂

I was at the Navy Dorsett game (got his autograph) and the 42-14 game.

Did not drink at the Navy game but drank into oblivion at the 42-14 game.

Comment by Frank MD 02.26.13 @ 3:41 pm

We always get info through so many filters. More and more I am trying to find links like this to hear people such as Chryst himself in his own voice.

Nice interview and insights… I do like his demeanor and approach! I hope is real on game day.

also can tell Savage is the man…
