2023-2024 Pitt Super Panthers Sports Thread

Didnt have it on my bingo card, but the dude is athletic. I think it could work out well. Only fear I have is Cignetti doesnt know how to use 1 TE, no way he's able to use 2 lol

[NAN]

Phil is built like a TE. Let's see how it works out. Can't make the season any worse.

[Stoosh]

It's actually impressive how Narduzzi has managed to take this fanbase from the euphoria of a conference title and the best season the program has had in 40+ years to almost complete apathy in just 22 months.

I consider myself as optimistic a fan as anyone given this program's relative place in the national landscape, and even I'm having a tough time coming up with anything positive about this season.

- Braylan Lovelace has been good, especially for a true freshman being asked to due way too much.
- Elliot Donald played a good amount against VT so maybe he's finally making some traction.
- DeAndre Jules has quietly been very, very good at DT and really should be playing more.

There are a lot of players on the roster that probably deserve better than this, but all I really want to see the rest of the year are two things:

1) Younger guys get playing time so they can identify the foundation for the rebuild. Fitzsimmons, Donald, Johnson, Scott, Okunola, Bass, Lovelace, and Biles need to play more up front. Ditto for Gandy, Crumpley, Biglow, Harrison, and Brookins in at corner.

2) Cignetti doesn't get past November 27, 2023 as Pitt's offensive coordinator. Unless this offense starts producing at UW/USC-type levels in each of the next seven games, he doesn't come back. Shawn Watson got fired despite running a better offense than what this one has produced in the last 18 games.

My newphew wanted to go to a Pitt game...(not sure why?). So we are taking him this weekend. Nothing like a crappy team and some rainy weather to toughen up a 8 year old haha.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

I’ll be there tomorrow because I’m an idiot

[skullman80]

I think we are in 133 tomorrow. We got tickets for like 18$ cause people were dumping them obviously cause the team sucks and it's supposed to rain.

[skullman80]

Sitting in the rain. H2P!

[dodint]

It looks like there are a few extra seats available. Good thing this is in prime time instead of at 3pm.

[Beveridge]

Is CW really prime time

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

This stinks

[dodint]

Is CW really prime time

I'll watch Pitt get pummeled at 3pm because there is nothing else on. I'm more inclined to watch a movie or somethings from 6-10pm.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

LIV was on cw at 3. That’s a big ticket item

[skullman80]

This is not good.

[dodint]

Just remembered the Pens play. skully if you hustle you can get over there and snag a cheap ticket to an indoor game.

[skullman80]

This is setting up for heartbreak in the 2nd half.

[willeyeam]

I haven't gotten to watch CFB for one Saturday yet and it's 10/14. I think I'm entitled to some form of compensation

[skullman80]

My nephew has been a trooper throughout this miserable weather and game so far.

[willeyeam]

H2P

[skullman80]

Oh man we had both the long td in the first and the pick 6 scored right in front of us.

[Beveridge]

Bowl game might be back on the menu.

[skullman80]

We bailed halfway through the 4th but that was a fun first game for my nephew. Weather was absolutely miserable though.

[willeyeam]

[shafnutz05]

Veilleux was far from perfect but the offense looked noticeably more dynamic with him behind center, which probably says a lot about Narduzzi's stubbornness.

Nice win.

[willeyeam]

Does 6-2 in the ACC get into the championship game?

Does 6-2 in the ACC get into the championship game?

Gotta root for Miami in this one, right?
