This one was crushing.  On so many levels.  My son was waiting all week to see us place ourselves in the Top 25 for the first time in his life.  He was stoked!  Hates Pitt like an old die hard BE fan.  This was the game for him.  He was so ready to see SU Football finally reach national relevancy.  Then we watched Dungey squander away the Custis 44-yard pick-up (a gift by the officials).  Then we watched as our D couldn’t contain Pitt on two straight drives as they fell for the same wildcat play on key downs.  Who else didn’t realize that the play was to fake the jet sweep and run up the middle?  The rainbow pass on first down, to a small receiver, in double coverage was the last straw.  It’s like all the excitement a new potential die hard fan built up just went...poof.

That was the hardest thing about this one...to see us throw away that golden opportunity to make the Top 25, to be relevant, and to win finally over those new fans (like my son) who’ve only known mediocre football and low expectations these past 17 years.  This was a huge opportunity lost, and against a Pitt team we should have been ready to squash like a bug.  This is on the coaches who called one of the worst games possible.

May Pitt burn in the bowels of hell.
