5AF's 2018-19 Premier Pittsburgh Super Panthers Football Thread (and Basketball)

Pitt wrestling up to #14 in the nation.

That's good but there's such a gap between the top 4 or 5 and anyone else. And the gap is just as big between #1 and #2 this year unfortunately

Absolutely. Same could be said for football this year too. Still nice to be in the top 15 in the nation.

They have a good coach, they might crack that top 5 group in a few years

Sorry, this is the "football thread (and basketball)" don't want to get too off topic

Well the #h2p basketball game against Syracuse is blacked out in my area. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Postby **willeyeam** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 2:45 pm

Too much dribbling against this zone. Refs also really letting them play which doesn't really favor Pitt

Postby **willeyeam** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 2:51 pm

Huge 9-0 run to end the half

These games are going to happen

New WR coach is Chris Beatty and that's a good one. Beatty had been at Maryland since 2016 and was mostly recently the WR coach, co-OC and assistant head coach for the Terps.

We may best know him from his work in 2008-10, when he was RB/Slot WR coach at WVU. There he helped recruit & develop Noel Devine, Jock Sanders, Tavon Austin, and Steadman Bailey.

He's got a track record as a very solid recruiter. He helped coach and develop DJ Moore at Maryland. He was also James from State College's WR coach and recruiting coordinator at Vandy in 2011, where he coached current NFL wideout Jordan Matthews.

Awesome, heard his name rumored and was really pulling for him over Hankerson. Great recruiter

I like that hire.

You have the usual whiners on PL saying "we needed to hire a younger guy that can recruit".

Most of the outside world likes both the OC and this hire.

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon Jan 21, 2019 4:49 pm

Beatty is a super solid hire. Good stuff.

ESPN has the dookies as a -9.5 favorite tonight at the Pete. Is that being a little too generous? I think Pitt keeps it under 20, but not within 10.

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 2:30 pm

Consensus is up to 13.5 at the moment. Both are bad because Pitt will win straight up

Of course. As Freddy pointed out, the Roc Boyz with Jay Z in the house.. it's meant to be

Postby **willeyeam** » Tue Jan 22, 2019 10:20 pm

For clarification, I interpreted "do this tonight" as lose by thirty. To avoid any confusion
