Say what you will, I think Pitt’s the rival

[Trueblue25]

Can’t stand them.

 

[cuse309]

I'll say that they're the closest thing to a rival that we have.

 

[SUGIANT]

I think so also

 

[OrangeDW]

Hard to say that when the stands looked the way they looked.

 

[OrangeDW]

Let’s just start consistently winning a lot of games and keep playing great games with Clemson and make them our rival. That’s what I would do.

Miami/WV/Clemson - I just don’t view Pitt & BC like I do those games, even VT I have higher.

 

[Ish88888]

We are begging for a Clemson rivalry but BC or Pitt is a natural rival. A rivaly needs to be mutual and Clemson calls SC and FSU rivals way before us.

 

[chop block]

The guys behind us at the game yesterday could have cared less about Syracuse football. My wife walking around state college in a Syracuse tee this morning got more dirty looks

 

[gbo]

The answer is Clemson Trueblue25

 

[Chris02M]

The answer is Clemson Trueblue25

cant wait until clemson returns the the dome next october or november

yes i have already looked at schedules for next year with next year being a double bye year, i will be giving us a bye on 9/14

 

[Trueblue25]

The answer is Clemson Trueblue25

I find it hard to believe theyll ever consider us a rival

We have a random rivalry with BC. This one would make more sense than that.

 

[Chris02M]

We have a random rivalry with BC. This one would make more sense than that.

you will be playing them week 1 next year

You guys are so not hateable though

Cause State College. Those people are jagoffs.

 

[kingtidge]

A rivalry??

Other than playing them forever, I'm not sure what really makes it a rivalry otherwise...

The overall record since 1916 when we started playing them is:

All-time series
Pittsburgh leads, 39–32–3

Of recent ilk, they owned us in the 1970's.

We dominated them in the 1980's thru '90s

They've owned us like prison bitches since early 2000's, per below.

Technically, 2 wins in 16 years, as P's 2004 wins were wiped clean and vacated due to the ineligible players fiasco...

Rivalry... I'm not feeling it.

Moreover, as they have been a consistently pedestrian or poor of late, I just hate losing to them.

It's a bad omen or bellweather for us.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Pitt is absolutely a rival. I don’t care if people in the bleachers don’t reflect it.

B-ball, football. Absolutely a rival.

Basketball, yes - when slickback Dixon was there and the Brandin Knight years in particular... hated that thug team...

Football, meh...

 

[SmilinBob]

Losing to a team with no fans in the stands is like getting beat in basketball playing one on one by a guy wearing sandals and jeans. It just shouldn't happen.

I like the rivalry vs Pitt and BC. There like a fist fight each time and after it's done I have no interest or ignore them until the fist fight next year when we walk on their turf or they in ours.

NCS is like the attention seeking jerk that yaps way too much for what they've ever done. One you'll say..."Just shut the heck up!" to. Sadly, we can't shut him up...... yet.

Louisville is like a cheating card player who's smug about it. A slippery weasel who somehow wiggles out of trouble after being caught red handed.

Wake is like a stone in your shoe or a paper cut. You don't think it'll drive you crazy but it continues to do so.

FSU is a talented arrogant thug who has a lot of things going for him but things should come easier to him and when he gets punched in the mouth he falls like a brick.

Clemson is like a guy that wears the same clothes you do but has more success with the ladies because he's a sweet talker and could charm the pants off a "think of something clever as I couldn't". You're envious but yet want to prove that you're just as good. Then you go over to his house and see he has a heck of a lot more toys than you do.

I love being in the ACC.
