That was the worst football game I have ever seen

[Roger N]

Un-watchable. Stupid plays. Interceptions thrown right to the Pitt players. That three and out at the end of the half is the ...I don't have words to describe it. I have never seen anything like it. There s a thing called game management. You learn that in POP Warner. Never seen so many penalties on both sides of the ball.

Ricky appears to be an alien who "landed" in Louisiana with the "Gift" of being able to throw a ball ablong way without the ability to aim the ball.. Who gives out these stars? Are they licensed?

The players played their hearts out. I hope they don't get discouraged. I am very discouraged. Thank God I didn't keep a list of the dumb stuff I saw. I'd still be writing this hours from now.

Best to all.

Come on Roger, you and I have been around a long time. Now, I don’t disagree with your assessment of the game, but you and I watched the GRob years.

 

[tbonezone]

well if you like to watch good punting and lottsa penalties then it was an instant classic .

Yeah, "The Little Engine that could" years.

I’ve been a fan since the early 90s and nothing has been as bad or more difficult to watch then the GRob years minus the ND win.

I had seasons for the Shafer HC experiment. That was definitely worse than what we saw last night, as bad as last night was. The defense played really well. You didn’t see any unit play well under most of Grob. Under Shafer the O was largely anemic every single game and the D was a crap shoot. They could play well or be atrocious.

Whatever happened to our former AD Gross who hired G Robb? AD of a JC someplace? Who hired him? Was that Nancy Cantor? Comedy of errors

Worst hire ever

Yes, Nancy. Some thought at the time it was a DEI hire. Not saying who.

 

[DPCuse]

Some people forget we were a 2 point conversion away from being down one score with over 6 minutes to go and that was after 3 turnovers. It was frustrating but we have clearly seen worse football than that in the dome over the last 20 years.

 

[Roger N]

Yes, Nancy. Some thought at the time it was a DEI hire. Not saying who.

Are you blaming Biden?

 

[FloridaCuse]

Are you blaming Biden?

NO. Gross was hired in 2004. [I had to look it up.]

Facts.

 

[upperdeck]

There was a ton of bad football plays. But that was also a pretty good effort on D. 7 sacks and probably had 3-5 more with better tackling and discipline.

Sure the ST had a letdown on a key play.

TWO ints were awful throws and bunch of others as well

Without a running game that works Pitt was just playing downhill all game.

Oline will always drive the bus. Not sure how to fix that.

 

[Moontan]

Firing a coach during/after a bowl game is just too late and too dumb.
All of the available potential head coaches were already off the books.

Unhappy with P's bowl result? If so, let him know that he's got one more shot/year to show improvement.

 

[NJCuse97]

Yes, Nancy. Some thought at the time it was a DEI hire. Not saying who.

Gross was Associate AD at USC West. He was recommended by Pete Carroll. GRob was lauded and praised by Dick Vermeil. Considering how both the Eagles and the Chiefs have done post Vermeil, I’d say he was not a good person to put so much faith into.

All our upcoming foes will play to shut down the run up til we prove that we can pass.

No one was saying that that I recall.

 

[Surfan06001]

Also…We lost a game in national TV 0-62. We just memory holing that?

 

[FloridaCuse]

No one was saying that that I recall.

But was anyone thinking it?

and i also imagine after watching some tape that's the last on-side kick we recover. kinda taken the surprise out of that trick pony.

 

[SU2NASA]

I can think of at least 10 games worse than that, which is really saying something, but let’s not overstate how bad of football we’ve been subjected to in recent memory.

Akron 2008, Purdue 2004 51-0, Virginia Tech 1999 62-0, Penn State 2008 55-13, Washington 2007 42-12, Georgia Tech 2012 56-0, 2016 USF 45-20, MTSU 2017, BC 2017 42-14, Maryland 2019 63-20

I’d also add the Toledo and Villanova wins.

Two for two though. Unfortunately the second one yielded nothing

Not all of those were bad both teams. And all the penalties.

At the end of 3 Qs was there even a combined 250 yards?

Panthers/jets today is a close 2nd.
