OT: The Return of the Backyard Brawl!!

[papillon]

great finish. I spent many years going to Pitt games - tonight would have been a blast.

I was on campus from 1977 through 1981, I know what Oakland was like last night and the cool thing about it is that the players party right along with the students (at least back in the day they did). Thirsty Thursday had a whole different atmosphere last night.

I was in Philly last night and was lucky enough to catch the game. Not a fan of either team but it was a fun game to watch. Thought the refs were trying to decide the outcome.

First college game I’ve watched in over a year.

Yeah.. Narduzzi is defending his conference against the threats of expansion. I wouldn’t read too far into that. If someone implied my program couldn’t hang with the big boys damn right I’m going to talk my talk.

You think he should have bowed down?

Who does that?

Who remembers his dad with Youngstown State???

This combined area with NE Ohio and Pitt area is the cradle of college coaches and has its share of NFL QBs.

That wvu RB looks like a hell of a prospect

Whatever.. the damn Pitt punter almost gave it away with his 12 step blocked punt.

but that is how we do, never easy, always down the the last possession.

That WVU QB had like 3 passes that were deflected or ballooned to a WVU WR when it could have been intercepted.

Sometimes luck prevails on the football field. At times it's better to be lucky than good in any sport.

MJ could’ve dropped that INT, ran out of bounds, tripped.. but he caught it and took it to the house.

If it was reversed I bet he is saying the WR blows and the WVU made a great play.
