PSU vs Pitt

Yes indeed - HTP - and largest attendance ever at a Pittsburgh sporting event 69,000+. And every one of them got their moneys worth. And I thought Narduzzi was a defense guy. Sure was getting deja vu all over again - like a few of those Notre Dame games the past several years. Love that little Quadray Henderson dude - looks a lot like Dri Archer...oh wait. Hope they saved some in the tank for OS next week.

 

I think all you guys know I am a Pitt Man, I am elated on beating PSU. Both teams have a long way to go to compete in championships in their
respective conferences. I am disappointed in Pitt's defense so far in the Pat Narduzzii era, I think he should have them playing better.

 

50 /50 State College is only 100 miles from PGH. Lots of PSU grads living in the Pgh area.

 

The Panthers are probably the bottom of the fandom totem pole too huh? I've always wondered that.

 

Being surrounded by the likes of the Steelers, Penguins and Pirates in comparison to being surrounded by nothing in the form of Penn State definitely mitigates Pitt's ability to advertise their brand..


... that and Jon Pederson as a head coach mutilating a legacy.

 

This is a pro town no doubt about it, but if Narduzzi can build a winner the fans will come back.
Steve Pederson ruined Pitt Football, and the coaching carousel they have had to over come has been an up hill
battle. There is only so much entertainment/spendable income to go around in our small metropolitan area of
about 2.8 million.
