Hail to Pitt sounds Germanic doesn’t it?
I was wrong. So what? Wasn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time, but that’s what comes with rooting for this school and team. There was certainly some optimism in the off-season that most of the fanbase and national pundits shared, but you have to back it up on the field. They haven’t done that.
Here’s what I’ll say, and I said it on our board. I thought Narduzzi was the guy. He had a solid first two years, and I was willing to forgive him for last year and count it as a rebuilding year. I thought we could get by with recruiting classes that were on-par with our conference and hover around 7/8 wins a year and compete in the Coastal. Obviously, that’s not the case. His teams have been sloppy, his assistant coach hires have been poor, and they come up short more often that not. I initially thought he wouldn’t be a good fit in the ACC when he was hired, but I put that aside after his first two seasons. It seems that that initial thought is coming full circle.
You can take the boy out of Youngstown, but you can't take Youngstown out of the boy.
I've spent some time at the Lair recently at the request of a good Pitt friend. Just like this board, they have their share of good and bad posters. I may be delusional, but I've noticed sone grudging respect for Penn State creeping into some posts. There is no reason fans of either school should not be welcome on the other's board, as long as they act respectfully. HTP725 certainly has.Gnat you're in Jax so you see it all the time.
There's something in the water out here. People may relocate from Pittsburgh or Western Penna. but they never, never leave. I'm one of them now, I'm originally from the opposite side of the state. Sure there's plenty of bandwagon, but a lot of people - a lot - had to leave when the steel industry collapsed in the '80's. Most went to the Sun Belt, so now you have the diaspora.
As for @HailToPitt725 you've been fine and I'm (at least) glad you dropped in. Unfortunately we've only had a few Pitt rooters who add anything positive. Myself, I stay off the Lair (or as many here refer to it, the Liar). What people say on their own board is up to them - it's THEIR board. I know I'm probably not going to like it, so it's my own fault if I get upset.
And here's what I'll say. Your board is a complete delusional pile of rubbish. You literally can't have a single thread without your ped state sh&t. Peak allows it to go on forever. Your board constantly lies about Franklin and Penn State, and doesn't give a damn about being honest. I remember all the bs. You still have morons over there saying Barkley sucks. You said JoMo sucked and now you wished you had him. You still have morons saying Pickett is better than McSorley. You have an arrogant ass of a coach that doesn't take responsibility for his own failings, blames his own players, and constantly makes excuses against other teams. You got exactly what you deserved in Narduzzi. As far as here, as long as people are respectful, they don't get banned. Obvious because you and others are still here. You cannot say that about your board. Peak has removed everyone including paying clients. Fair is about the only one over there and he won't be there long for sure.I was wrong. So what?

At what point do Peak's paying customers say "enough is enough"? He has been pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining for years. Anybody with a brain could see this coming from a mile away. PN was "winning" with PC's recruits, meanwhile he was filling his own classes mith MAC level talent. Somehow Peak was able to convince everybody that PN was getiing "his guys" and Pitt would be challenging for ACC division titles. WTFHotshoe, respectfully, if you were one of the PSU posters banned on our board, I can see why. Regardless of the tolerance level of different boards, if you call out individual posters and a site in general like that, you’ll probably end up banned anywhere. I doubt that falls under “respectful” anywhere.
As for paying members, I believe one of the rules on the Lair is that you’re not allowed to share content on the pay board to non-paying members. I’ve seen threads taken down and Pitt posters axed because of it. PSU posters screenshooting posts from our pay board and uploading them here probably falls under that. I also think some of them attacking other paying members via PM had something to do with it.
Like I’ve said before, I respect you allowing Pitt posters over here even when discussions get heated. I also appreciate @fairgambit . He’s a very respectful poster and is probably one of my favorite PSU posters, along with a few on the national board.
Let's get a few things straight. I never called out anyone. Second, I have never shared private information. That said, your board is delusional.Hotshoe, respectfully, if you were one of the PSU posters banned on our board, I can see why.

And notice, we didn't even have him on the board this year for the game. I wonder why?So long as Rivals allows a mentally challenged individual like Peak to run that board, nobody will ever take it seriously. And his conduct goes a long way in contributing to the ire and intense dislike between the fan bases here on Rivals. He is a big, big part of the problem, and will never be part of the solution.

Yeah, why we allow posters like jerot on here after numerous warnings of those silly articles and pictures. Narduzzi is a whiner and a blamer. Mr. I'm cutting of the media all week for Penn State. Lol. What a child.Ironically, during his Penn State week podcast, he said pitt fans do not have access to this board because they are routinely banned.
Pitt is irrelevant. I added that just in case PSU posters like Fair have forgotten. One more game then gone.
6. You, MikeMauti42, gave yourself up a long time ago. It was relatively easy to put two and two together. I can spell it out if you want me to.
As for the PM’s, quite a few received them from you that included a bit more than “I told you so.”
The only reason why I know of the PMs is because there were paying members tagging you in threads, insisting you to respond to them there instead of attacking them over a PM.
Now, how I do know you, MikeMauti, are also PatNards? It’s simple.
- There’s the fact that you both have the same grammar style (similar sentence structure, phrasing, and ending paragraphs with declarative sentences; I picked up on this the first time your PatNards account responded to me on here) and the two accounts are never logged in at the same time, but this could be easily defended.
- There’s also the fact that when your PatNards account was banned over there, your primary account stopped posting screenshots from our pay board here, but again, that still leaves some room for some doubt.
- However, the big thing that linked the two accounts was actually something you, MikeMauti, said. After I posted on our pay board, “why would a PSU pay for an account here?” you tagged me over here asking me, “you wouldn’t pay $9.99 a month for entertainment?” What’s important about that is that $9.99 is the price you pay for a monthly membership, aka the silver membership. There’s very few silver members over on the Lair pay board and of the potential candidates I narrowed it down to, PatNards was the only silver account. So really, you gave yourself up without even knowing.
The only reason why I dug into this was because you told me your account over there was chetthejet or something like that after posting your first screenshot. I obviously knew that was false, so I wanted to see if I could crack the case.
Do you really have nothing better to do with your life than monitor non-pitt message boards for Pitt premium information and also try to out people that have multiple on-line handles? Seriously, this is beyond obsessive. Start a GoFundMe page for Narduzzi's buyout or something useful.The only reason why I know of the PMs is because there were paying members tagging you in threads, insisting you to respond to them there instead of attacking them over a PM.

Well, it wouldn’t be you saying “I told you so” because it took place before the Penn State game on Sept. 8. What would there be for you to say “I told you so” on Aug. 30?
So, you really have nothing better to do. Hope I never have your life. I'm sure that the Pitt rivals site appreciates you're detective work because it must be saving them zero dollars in lost revenue.When my posts are being screenshotted and uploaded onto a non-Pitt message board, I figured I’d find out who it is. I’d say buying a membership to steal posts from behind a pay wall is obesssive.
