102nd Backyard Brawl: #8 Pitt (9-1) @ West Virginia (7-3)

[Pitty]

LET'S GO PITT!

Please fix title, weed under keyboard.

 

[Leftwich]

If WVU loses this game I hope we fire Bill Stewart.... I never wanted that mother fucker as our coach.

 

[Pitty]

30 Minutes!

 

[Woy]

MOUNTAINEERS!

 

[Vinsane]

Well, if Cincy wins I'll be 2-3 on my Pittsburgh loses out prediction. 2 out of 3 isn't bad, right?

It's funny how many Pitt haters are here on this board. Pitt gets a little success and the haters come out even when their team and conference sucks so bad.

Pitt played like shit tonight. Stull cost the team at least 10 points and gave WVU the tying field goal at the half. However, I think Pitt got screwed on that first down call, but just my opinion I think he was a yard short and Pitt should have got the ball. But even when Stull sucks, our team lost by a field goal against a very good (When they don't turn the ball over) WVU team.

I'd still take the top 3 or 4 teams of the big east vs any of the little 10 teams.

LOL don't be mad because you lost to an average team with a shitty coach. WVU is not a very good team... This is a team that had to fight off Liberty in the 4th quarter. They are an average football team and have proven as such all season.

B10 > Big East

The top team in the Big East struggled with a 3-8 Big Ten team..

Every team has so many haters.

6 Touchdowns by the starting QB was struggling? Are you high? The Big 10's leader before Stanzi got hurt (Iowa) struggled with Northern Iowa... So stfu you fucking homer. And not to mention the fact that Illinois has been playing much better than it started and if you don't think they would play every team in the Big 10 tough than you've lost your mind. If they played the way the played the last couple of weeks they'd be 3 or 4th in the Big 10 easy.

I'm mad we lost, but I'm over it. It's just funny the haters surface after we lose. West Virginia is far from an average team. Have they played average in games, yeah but didn't Navy give Ohio State all it could handle? yeah don't fucking talk about losing to average teams.. Ohio State lost to USC = Average and they lost to Purdue (BELOW average). West Virginia is a solid team in a better conference than the Big 10.

This is exactly why Pitt/BE has haters

That maybe true because you have Ohio State and Penn State and Iowa (before Stanzi was hurt) but the Big 10 has been around alot longer and has more teams.

 

[Sportsbuck]

Okay then, I'll break down point by point why you are fucking wrong.

6 Touchdowns by the starting QB was struggling? Are you high?

First off, what the fuck are you talking about here?

The Big 10's leader before Stanzi got hurt (Iowa) struggled with Northern Iowa... So stfu you fucking homer.

Very true that they did struggle with Northern Iowa... and yet I'm pretty sure Ohio State won the conference crown.

And not to mention the fact that Illinois has been playing much better than it started and if you don't think they would play every team in the Big 10 tough than you've lost your mind. If they played the way the played the last couple of weeks they'd be 3 or 4th in the Big 10 easy.

LOL. Right, I forgot, barely beating 6-6 Minnesota and beating up on 5-7 Michigan is truly the mark of a good team. Newsflash: There's a reason why Illinois sucks, their defense is ranked in the 90s. In two games against ranked teams prior to the Cincy game, they got outscored 65-17. There is no justification whatsoever you can give for Illinois, 3-8 Illinois who went 2-6 in the Big Ten and finished in 9th place, scoring 36 against the top team in the Big East.

Ohio State shut Illinois out 30-0. They had 88 passing yards, and 82 rushing yards. Juice Williams threw for only 77 yards and we picked him twice. He averaged 1.2 yards per carry.

Cincinnati won a shootout 49-36. Illinois put up 476 total yards, 307 passing and 169 rushing. Juice Williams threw for 282 yards and 3 TD's, and added over 6 yards per carry and a TD on the ground.

Illinois is still the same team they were at the begininng of the season.

I'm mad we lost, but I'm over it. It's just funny the haters surface after we lose. West Virginia is far from an average team. Have they played average in games, yeah but didn't Navy give Ohio State all it could handle? yeah don't fucking talk about losing to average teams..

LOL @ this comparison. First off, we beat Navy, you lost to West Virginia. This fucks up this comparison completely you stupid twat.

Second off, Navy is 8-3. West Virginia is 8-3. West Virginia beat one ranked team. Navy beat one ranked team. Yeah, they are such different teams. Face it, you lost to an average fucking team.

Ohio State lost to USC = Average and they lost to Purdue (BELOW average). West Virginia is a solid team in a better conference than the Big 10.

- USC is definately above average considering they beat 3 ranked opponents.
- Yes, Purdue is below average. But, guess what, using your comparison from earlier about West Virginia and Navy, I guess Purdue is pretty awesome because they almost beat Oregon!!
- Pitt lost to NC fucking State... NC State is definately below fucking average I mean for Christ sake they went 5-7 this year.

So, to summarize: Ohio State lost to #20 USC (7-3, wins over 3 ranked opponents), and Purdue (5-7, 7th overall in the B10). Pitt lost to West Virginia (8-3, 1 win over ranked opponent), and NC State (5-7, 10th overall in the ACC, 5th in the ACC Atlantic Division).

 

[Sportsbuck]

And the Big East is definately not better than the Big 10.

Since I'm feeling sporty here, I'll at least put the two top teams (Ohio State and Cincy) on equal footing.

Ohio State = Cincinnati

Penn State, Iowa > Pitt, West Virginia

Wisconsin, Northwestern > Rutgers, South Florida

Michigan State > UCONN

Purdue, Minnesota, maybe Illinois > Louisville

Michigan, Indiana, Illinois > Syracuse

But come bowl season I'm sure you will be touting your superiority over us because you will probably have a better bowl record... not that hard when you face the C-USA's #5 team (St. Petersburg Bowl), the SEC's #9 team (Papajohns.com bowl), the ACC's #6 team (Meineke Bowl), the MAC's 1, 2, or 3 team (International Bowl), or the ACC's #3 team (Gator Bowl).

Exactly what I was going to bring up. SB covered every single thing.

According to the Big 10 Bowl Projections

Insight Bowl - #6 Big 10 vs. #6 Big 12
Minnesota vs Texas A&M

Outback Bowl - #3 Big Ten vs SEC
Wisconsin vs. Kentucky

Captial One Bowl - #2 Big Ten vs #2 Sec
Penn State vs. Ole Miss

Alamo Bowl - #4 or 5 Big Ten
Michigan State vs Texas Tech

Champs Sports Bowl - #4 or 5 Big Ten vs #4 ACC
UNC vs Northwestern

Rose Bowl - Big Ten vs Pac 10 Champions
Oregon vs. Ohio State

--

Big East Projections

St. Pete - BigEast vs CUSA
USF vs UCF

Meineke Car Care - Big East vs #6 ACC
West Virginia vs Miami

Gator Bowl - #3 ACC vs. Big East
Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati

International Bowl - Big East vs MAC
UConn vs. Ohio

Papajohns Bowl - Big East vs SEC
Rutgers vs Auburn

Sugar Bowl - BCS vs BCS (SEC Champ if Avail)
Alabama vs. Pitt


Alabama, Auburn, Ohio, Virginia Tech, Miami, and UCF are projected to be the Big East opponents. Oregon, UNC, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, and Kentucky are Big 10 opponents. Out of those opponents, Alabama is by far the toughest out of all of them. Then it goes Oregon, UNC, VT and Miami. Then I would say its a toss up between A&M, TT, Ole Miss, Auburn and Kentucky with Ole Miss looking like the best team other then today. I agree UCF and Ohio are boring games and should be easy wins for the Big East, but the others are not.

Big East vs. Alabama, VT, Miami, and Auburn
Big 10 vs. Oregon, UNC, Ole Miss, and TT or A&M or whatever game you wanna throw in here for their 4th game.

I would say the Big East has tougher projected match-ups than the Big 10. I personally think that if Cincy loses next week, they should play in a BCS game over a 10-2 Iowa team, but that's just me.



These were taken from collegefootballnews.com by the way, they aren't just my random projections because I personally think if Pitt plays like they played at WVU they'll be in the Car Care Bowl and the season is shot.

Wow... this was supposed to be a discussion about the Backyard Brawl. You guys fucked it up.... god damn it.

JHamm, I left out the BCS bowls because they can choose who they want for matchups.

I'm talking about the bowl tie-ins.

And the standings weren't 100% for some conferences until now (The Pac-10 still isn't) but I'm going to use ESPN's just for another view point.

B10
Capitol One: Ole Miss v Penn State
Outback: Wisconsin v LSU
Insight: Oklahoma v Minnesota
Alamo: Michigan State v Texas Tech
Champs: Miami v Northwestern
Little Ceasers: don't have a b10 team

Big East
Gator: Virginia Tech v Pitt
Meineke: North Carolina v UNC
PapaJohns: UConn v Georgia
St. Pete: USF v UCF
Int'l: Rutgers v Ohio

Virginia Tech > Ole Miss
LSU > North CArolina
Oklahoma > Georgia
Texas Tech > UCF
Miami > Ohio

I think we should probably wait until the bowl bids come out to settle this argument... too many random ass possibilities.

It's funny how many Pitt haters are here on this board. Pitt gets a little success and the haters come out even when their team and conference sucks so bad.

I'd still take the top 3 or 4 teams of the big east vs any of the little 10 teams.

This has nothing to do with hating on Pitt, it has everything to do with you and Pitty spitting all sorts of garbage week in and week out in the CB. If you can't handle it, don't dish it. Even in this post, you can't defend your position without putting down another conference, doing exactly what you're complaining about. Hypocrite.

There are more in the cb i'm just saying it's funny how Pitt has so many haters.

Again, no one starts a "Pitt Hate" post in the CB until either you or Pitty type up some nonsense about the Big East being elite, Pitt and the Big East in general being disrespected. Again, just cause you end up with a little egg on your face you're trying to turn the tables and play the victim.

Every team has so many haters.

This.

There are more teams on this board not named Pitt that get shellacked week in and week out regardless of win or lose. And I'll reiterate, all this hate was brought down by yourself and your post inside the chat box and here. Suck it up, and move on.
