That said, do you expect a team to win a national title when they couldn't beat Pitt with no passing game and everyone knowing Shady was getting the ball?"<br /><br />Hard to say, that's kind of my point. There's no way of ever knowing. Getting beat bad in a national title game isn't the same as getting beat bad in the Big East Consolation Bowl. There would have been at least some hype.<br /><br />Who knows? It's fun to look back at turning points like that and think about what might have happened.Borskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03941327073575814893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-18400013449516575062010-12-14T15:09:55.141-05:002010-12-14T15:09:55.141-05:00They are putting Wanny in some type of 'specia...They are putting Wanny in some type of 'special assistant' role to basically save face for both the university and loyalty out of Wanny's history with Pitt. It's similar to what Pitt did with Johnny Majors when Walt Harris was hired. <br /><br />In all honesty, I don't know who is realistic at this point, and not sure what is real and pieced together through the media. I heard Ziese say that Pitt may be limiting themselves based on budget. As someone that has donated (though not at a huge level) and seen the numbers I would be pissed if that is the case. <br /><br />If they want a guy and won't pay him because they are saddled with Wanny's salary, then they should never have moved him. If they don't even give a guy like Tom Bradley an interview (because indications are he would be interested) then it's the 'same old boys' that can't get past having a PSU guy considered, I would be pissed as well. <br /><br />That said, I have to think that standard would have been applied to Golden, who they were interested in before going to Miami. So I think nobody outside of the inner circle really knows anything, and willing to let it play out.BURGH08https://www.blogger.com/profile/04977580975300029584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-16254724158050936792010-12-14T14:42:00.002-05:002010-12-14T14:42:00.002-05:00Burgh, just having some fun on a boring day..

It wasn't he pulled out, it wasn't the school pulled out, it was that he won't be considered and wasn't at the top of the list to begin with."<br /><br />Not sure how it will play out, but it's been less than a week. Not really in panic mode like the dorks on rivals. <br /><br /><br /><br />Second, "13-9" isn't mentioned as an accomplishment by Pitt. Rather, it's mentioned because it's the only chance WVU fans had to play for the National Championship in their lifetime. <br /><br />I personally still don't know if enjoyed walking out of Morganhole watching grown men cry or was disturbed by it. <br /><br />Hey, at least you are trying to spin it.

Then RichRod skips town and goes to Michigan. That game changed the WVU football program forever. Oh how the tables have turned. We are going to steal your top candidate and one of the brightest offensive minds in college football. Wait till Holgersen steps into Morgantown and dominates the Big East.
