I expect to see the big 10’s golden boys, OSU, get stomped on again by the SEC. No better off? Take the top 5 big east football programs against the top 5 big 10 programs from this year. The big 10 programs have more total wins, higher attendance, sellouts, TV money, etc. Seems better to me. as for OSU, they may very well get stomped by LSU, this was considered a rebuilding year for OSU. (Personally I don’t like OSU nor the system that put them in the title game. This year especially screams for a playoff or at least something better than the present system). > [@CHINO'S STAG PARTY @ THE STEER: 8/17 7-10PM](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/chinos-stag-party-the-steer-8-17-7-10pm/33726/9): > > i love how evertime someone mentions history… us pitt fans are living in the past… well history is part of the equation. u ask what pitt did in the last 25 years… i ask what PSU did in the last 100 years.

One team playing like shit so that a shitty team has a chance is not necessarily a “good game” that people like to watch (unless you happen to be cheering for the shitty team). A close score from either two good teams playing good or an underdog playing like gods for a day makes for much more of a good game in the eyes of most. ---

you are basically saying its all white and none of slaton? dennis dixon didn’t have steve slaton in his backfield and they also didnt have a back up QB capable of running that type of offense… bad comparison. if i recall brown had a few nice runs including one for a TD. pat white doesn’t carry WVU, he’s only part of it. brown was equipped to run the spread because he gets in a lot of games when WVU is blowing teams out. ---

That entire game WVU flat out got outplayed!! Try taking snaps or protecting a ball while running with a busted up thumb. Not too much fun and likely to lead to fumbles.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree as the could have’s and should have’s could go on forever. Thankfully Pitt won the game so the crazy calls and no calls by the refs did not really mess with the outcome. Good thing Pitt can now turn their focus to the bowl game so they can show what they can do outside of the Big East 🌑 ---

Last I checked a snap still comes back when in the shotgun, not going to stress anything as bad as a regular snap but still something that requires a good sense of touch to handle, something that is definitely impaired with a bad finger. Also, when you bust up a ring finger or damn near anything other than a thumb you can just tape it up with another finger and be pretty much nearly as good to go. Doesn’t work for a thumb. ---
