No TV. Just radio or watching a gamecast refresh on your computer. The tip-off is midnight — which is Saturday — but they kept it confusing by saying Friday repeatedly. Turns out they were doing that by claiming the tip was at 11:59.
Either way, I’m not staying up to listen to a radio stream. TV or ESPN3.com and I might have given it a go. In this case, I’m just going to get some rest. I’ve gotten old and soft.
You may hear mention once or twice that Pitt Coach Jamie Dixon was once an assistant at Hawai’i.
The Rainbow Warriors are 3-1, but not a great 3-1. They are being coached by an assistant who is the interim coach after the head coach was fired as allegations of NCAA violations swirled. One of their better players isn’t available. So it should be a relatively safe warm-up for Pitt. But, you know, Samford last week and being in paradise can be do strange things.
Good luck to you hearty souls and insomniacs that stay up for this one.
I pointed out before the Game that they are GOOD against the RUN.
Last time I checked, they put Conner OUT OF THE GAME.
Glad Voytik had a GOOD GAME against a Team that is only good against the RUN.
Credit to Chad for getting the Ball to Tyler.
Anyone want to challenge this? Let’s go.
Good Back capable of getting the TOUGH YARDS.
But wait for Ollison… and some incoming Freshman named Jordan.
Hail to Pitt!
I’m finding that HARD TO BELIEVE!
How we killed Colorado in the NCAA’s was playing aggressive trapping defense which led to many many turnovers and easy Pitt runouts.
We don’t have great 5 star players where you don’t have to play gimmick defenses. Cause each player you have is better than the other teams.
Dixon never wants to admit this.
Connor won’t play next week and we will get routed.
Unless the ACC desperately needs another bowl team.
HaHa
all by Big Joe.
I never really thought losing Randall would be a big deal. Others seemed to think he was something.
Both are getting minutes…not a good sign at all.
now with a spelling critique. lol
A FINAL FOUR appearance by a Jamie Dixon Coached Pitt Team… OR… a MAJOR BOWL appearance by a Pitt Football Team.
The fact that you have to THINK about this at all says something.
And beats them.
It usually takes an Act of God for Pitt to beat Notre Dame.
Same thing, come to think of it.
BTW, my best game is a 195 bowled about 45 years ago.
In doubt, ask Dr. Tom.
Not to say I don’t miss some. But Notre Dame last year was an EASY ONE.
And so is MIAMI this year.
I get that I was behind the times a bit over the last two weeks before the MMQB but to have no Blather articles on the game at all?
BTW – saw the game today and will have a more accurate MMQB up by Monday Morning. Until then I’ll post a game article now.
Besides, everyone knows PITT is a football school so why the angst when PITT loses to the Rainbow Warriors? Speaking about Hawai’i what about DL Jeremiah Taleni’s good play today? Only a FR and he’s 6’2″ and 300 Lbs. he;ll be the “Island Intruder” or the “Hawai’ian Hitman” before too long.
(could only find records dating back to 2010)
(we might have a couple points when Wanny was here and the basketball team didn’t fold annually in the first weekend of the Big Dance)
ZERO Points for 2010-2011
ZERO Points for 2011-2012
ZERO Points for 2012-2013
ZERO Points for 2013-2014
That must be a trick question.
Question should be:
How in the F*ck does Cornhole keep his job ???
I’ll save you the trouble. Voytik had his BEST Game… and I have yet to look at the Numbers.
But… contrary to dhuff’s and Emel’s opinion of Tyler Boyd as a FOOTBALL PLAYER… it was REALLY BOYD’S BEST GAME!
that ship has sailed on Dixon. he can’t recruit real elite players. Nor does he have the ability/or maybe it’s stubbornness, to play any creative defenses to overcome the lack of talent he recruits.
football is self-explanatory. no money spent = a middling program that loses to MAC teams at home and even D2 teams.
Case in point that Pitt team that was in the Fiesta Bowl was horrible. A major bowl is nothing. Pitt basketball would have been in major bowls more than half the time if basketball was run like football.
There is now a final four in football. Why do you have lower standards for the football team?
Final Four is Final Four.
Just insane on here. Act like Pitt basketball is bad. Pitt basketball is better than more than 90% of all other programs in D1 basketball. So somehow that being mediocre. But it makes sense most of you guys who complain about basketball not being elite don’t really pay attention to basketball so don’t really know what you are talking about and you only comment when they do poorly.
What Pederson should have done is build a NEW Pitt Stadium in the same FOOTPRINT of the Old Stadium and then build a Basketball Stadium in one of the many other available locations.
MAJOR, MAJOR SCREW UP!
Robinson and Newkirk were both 1 for 5 from three-point land, and that was the game. This team has four or five shooters that have the potential to hit 40% of their three-point shots. Robinson and Newkirk aren’t in that group.
