Regardless, I want to play them regularly. We lack a true rival. I would gladly replace the Delawares and Umass’s with Pitt.
Pitt football in proper perspective
- Thread starter saturdaysarebetter2
- Start date
I don’t need Del and UMass in the same year. That was ridiculous.
But Pitt….absolutely zero interest to play them unless it’s as you suggest. 3-1.
Well good for you; you are in a distinct minority. Pitt put the kibosh on Paterno’s proposed all sports Big East conference out of pure self-interest: wanted its money from the lucrative the Big East basketball conference AND the pay day from playing at the Beav every other year as a football independent. There is NO benefit to Penn State from playing Pitt—it is supposed to win and would get ridiculed if it was upset by Pitt. The only team that would benefit from a Pitt/Penn State series. Given the above history, if I were Penn State’s AD I would announce that Penn State is interested in renewing the series right after hell freezes over.
I agree. It would be more fun to slaughter the pitters every year than Delaware, UMass, and Toledo. However, all games should be played in State College. We need the payday and won't get it in their rented stadium.
How many Natties did they win playing with leather helmets? - making a case that all of those were legit is stupid.
They were legit to the players on the field wearing those helmets. Just because something happened a long time ago doesn't simply delegitimize it for that reason alone. What wasn't legit was the way in which those (often multiple) Natties were awarded not that the players wore leather helmets.
They won more than Delaware , or Umass. Two teams that PSU played last year. That is the point genius.
PS. Dont cry about playing Pitt for whatever made up reason and then schedule Delaware or Umass who have the same issues you listed for Pitt.

Yes, pitt is much like Delaware and UMass. I have no problem playing the pitters every year as long as all games are at the future Joe Paterno Stadium. Just like Delaware and UMass all games need to be home games for Penn State. We don't play away games against third world programs.
Delaware and UMass don’t have the same issues as Pitt…those two will play all their games against PSU at Beaver Stadium….will Pitt?
If the pitters won't agree to play all games at Penn State, then we shouldn't play them. It would be a nice payday for them. They need paydays since they have putrid attendance at their rented stadium. The pitt football program is much like Delaware and UMass. We shouldn't ever play at the rented stadium. All future games at Penn State.
Nope! Everything to lose and nothing to gain. Clearly, we don’t need it for recruiting.
Money is never made up reason. PSU Pitt is dead. Let it go.
I made the big mistake of moving to western PA from Maryland for the sake of financial reasons. Four students in college at one time and two PSU student. Now the reason for my response, Pitt fans are insufferable i don't even have a word for em.. They try to trash Penn State but can't say why they support the Panthers, except for $5.00 Pitt shirts at Sam's Club!!!
