Wanny on BTN
- Thread starter jppsu
- Start date
He was also the only one to drop PSU out of his power 5 rankings. Why in the world is he on the BTN?
Well if they want a balanced prediction they'll have to ask Millen's opinion as well! 
I give you credit for being able to decipher anything that comes out zipper heads mouth
He's been a head coach and assistant in both college and the pros for nearly 40 years. If he watched both teams he likely saw quite a lot. He may well be wrong, but I think he knows more about football than anyone who posts here.
Well, he's a Pitt guy so there is one reason to say it. Two, without watching the games, one could surmise that beat beat an inferior opponent rather easily while PSU struggled to beat an inferior opponent.
How do you know what he watched? Could have been watching Mama Mia this weekend for all you know. He is a Pitt homer
Asu is worlds better than albany.Not even close.
Pitt will come with plenty of emotion. This is the biggest game on their schede.We need to come ready to play.
The OP said he watched both teams. Given what he does for a living, I have no reason to doubt that. Does he have a Pitt bias. Sure. Is his prediction wrong? We'll know in 5 days.
True, but do you really think that’s why he picked Pitt to beat PSU? Really? You don’t think it has anything to do with personal feelings over “seeing” something?
I don't know and neither do you. To be honest, I really don't care why he picked Pitt. He will not be the only one. We'll know Saturday.
Actually no....I was a Dolphins fan for years so my opinion of Wanny being useless has nothing to do with my Penn State bias.Does the Penn State bias of most here overrule their opinion of Wannstedt?
I don't understand the words that come from his mouth.'nat
Every team that struggled will be on upset alert.Brace yourself for the pitt is home and Psu is young and on the road.Blah ,blah and blah.Hopefully Psu gets some players back.Psu is not albany though.
As far as Wanny is concerned, any pitt team that can beat a team QB'd by Vinny Testaverde, can beat Penn State.
I bet I know another one....Mushmouf. If someone is going to be a legit sports broadcaster, they should not let their petty little biases get in the way of their broadcasting. I’m okay with guys calling upsets, but when it’s consistently the same team simply because you don’t like them, then they should probably find another gig.
Actually, biases can drive ratings. Look at all the attention Wanny has gotten here.
But how many on here actually watched it as opposed to read about it on this board?
Wanny could be right. It almost feels like 2016. Deja vu. They are catching us early and at the right time before we've had a chance to figure things out i.e. a bunch of newness just like a couple of years ago. Plus, key injuries. And in some ways, based on Saturday's performance, things are more disjointed than they were then. The 2016 team had at least been through the fire of competition as a team - winning and losing versus this team which is like a new born babe. No doubt we have more talent and better coaching than Pitt. But they are going to have to grow up mighty fast between now and Saturday to win this game. I think it's what honor demands .

He saw a Sun Belt team gain 451 yards and a return a KO 100 yards against a PSU team that only returns 3 starters on defense. I don't think it has anything to do with Pitt beating Albany. Maybe a bit to do with Pitt returning 9 defenders from a team that beat Miami in their last game of 2017.
The question is how much will PSU improve this week. Will Givens play and how much difference will that make? I have the most faith in the people wagering their money. They're saying PSU by 9. I'll side with them.
Thanks 24. I was off the board for about 10 weeks. It's good to be back but I do need to limit my time here. We'll see how that goes.
But you’re missing a whole lot of differences from the Pitt side of things. Apparently we’re the only team that has to figure things out.Wanny could be right. It almost feels like 2016. Deja vu.

I don't know. I do know I never expected to get involved in a Wanny discussion. I think it's time to look for a lawmower thread.
Maybe he just finished a chipped ham sandwich with an I.C. Light chaser. That combo can mess with a guy's head.

Obvious difference between this year and 2016...the Pitt game in 2016 was Trace's second game as a starter. This week will be his 29th. I get the issues with the defense and they're legitimate. But we have a very experienced, high quality winner at the most important position on the field. That fact carries an awful lot of weight.
You guys did watch the game on Saturday, did you not? That was a HOME game against Appy State, that they won by the skin of their teeth.. This is an AWAY game at Pitt. Anyone who thinks Pitt won't put an ass whipping on us if we come out and play like we did against Appalachian State is in for a HUGE disappointment on Saturday.
Right after the game I said this reminds me of the 2016 team. I know it was only one game but I think it is pretty clear the younger players need to be in the game (Parsons, PJ, etc.). What makes me nervous and is almost certainly going to happen is that the same rotation will be used against Pitt because it is too big of a game to throw them in. This can be a big issue. Hoping for the best next week but expecting the worst.Wanny could be right. It almost feels like 2016. Deja vu.
