Literally the only answer to this is in modern times is West Virginia losing 13-9 to Pitt in the last regular season game of 2007
That was the one shot they were ever going to get at a national championship and they pissed it away against a 4 TD underdog who was their arch rival
The Kick 6 is a stupid nomination. Alabama had won 3 of 4 national titles and was clearly going to win more. It sucked but it didn’t alter the trajectory of the program
But the 2007 Backyard Brawl was IT for West Virginia
Serious question: who were the 5 best players from the WPIAL who played P4 football last year?
I’d bet Brookins and Lovelace make that list. Cam Lindsey will probably be on that list this year.
In his defense of the @Pitt_FB program @WPIAL_Insider is BASHING #WPIAL FOOTBALL players basically saying it’s not worth PITT time, effort or money to recruit Western PA high school players. This is coming from a guy who has REAL inside information with the PITT program and EXTREMELY close to the decisions made by the PITT coaching staff
DAMN 😳🔥😳🔥😳🔥😳
as someone who covered that Pitt search, I thought this exchange between Jeff Goodman and Dan Hurley on a recent Field of 68 podcast interview was interesting
everything I was ever told during that search was Pitt put forth a serious offer but was always playing from behind
Recruits will somewhat regularly tag us in their offer tweets.
Less often is it a son of a former NBA player! Raja Bell’s son picking up an offer from Pitt.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: An anonymous ACC coach who faced QB Fernando Mendoza said Mendoza lacks "NFL traits” he told ESPN.
“He's a good decision-maker, but I don't think he's got the NFL traits. They're all back-shoulder [throws]. That's not working in the NFL. His receivers made plays to make him look better than he is.”
The amount of problems with college athletics is through the roof but the only changes being made are to things no one is asking for. Like jacking up the number of teams making the post season.
The coaches have spoken: In a vote last week, the AFCA Board swung its support behind (1) a playoff with the max participants (likely 24); (2) discontinuing conference championships; and (3) ending CFP by second week of January, they tell @YahooSports.

Stephen is one of my favorite people I’ve had the privilege of sharing a press box with. He’s also a quality journalist. Any company would be lucky to have him.
Sources: The NCAA has initiated the final steps to expand the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments to 76 teams. The expansion is on track to be formalized in the upcoming weeks, with mid-May as the target. The 76-team tournaments begin next year. https://t.co/2ZGUjZR0uJ
It’s going to ruin such a good memory when we find out Sorsby hammered Pitt ML in the locker room in ‘24, but it might be the only reasonable explanation for how he played in the 2nd Half
On3's @PeteNakos confirms that Brendan Sorsby placed bets on Indiana while on the Hoosiers' roster in 2022.
Sorsby did not appear in any game he bet on that season.

Macari Moore has officially signed to return to #Pitt men’s basketball next season. I actually sat down with Moore today and will have a story about his decision to return later this week.
@TheLoyalSons 👋 - PA voice of the team here. 9 ACC games left, 6 away vs RPI top 20 (@UNC, @FSU), 3 home vs a game/top-70 ND team ending reg. season. Plus 3 midweeks vs teams we need to take care of business against, not negotiable. 5 ACC wins should be comfy in. 4 bubbly. Join the bandwagon.
