    Some Impressive Stats

    OK. I hear you and agree for the most part. At this point we could easily be over 60%, but the sledding will get tougher in the weeks ahead.

    PITT's other Opponents

    So, nobody here thinks it is significant that OKST gave up 391 yards to PITT and PSU 342, while we held them to 235 yards, even after we lost the TO battle 1-4? Look, I am not a believer in the transitive property for football, but you really can't look at this stat and say that it supports an...

    Pitt Postgame Discussion

    There were a couple plays where Benson had no hole, but slammed ahead anyway, and gained about 8 yards after planting his face mask in the breast bone of the tackler and driving him back. I thought to myself that those would be the runs where the light bulb went on in his head and he would be...

    Some Impressive Stats

    Over 60%? Wow. You are demanding. I hope we can get there. Just to give a little history on that stat: the GT 2014 offense, which set all time records for the decade old (approximately) offensive efficiency statistic (by a pretty wide margin, if I recall correctly, it actually caused them to...

    PITT's other Opponents

    PITT has now played 3 well respected opponents. Yes, I include us in that category. Every game is different and transitive property doesn't mean much in CFB, but I thought it would be pretty neat to see how GT compared to PSU and OKST against this one opponent. Both of them are top 20 if not top...

    CPJ & Nebraska

    I find it interesting it would take 6 years to bring NEB back, but after 4 years here, people felt like CPJ had had enough time to recruit his own guys so........

    CPJ & Nebraska

    CPJ is a TECH man now. Plus, he is a southerner.

    Pat Narduzzi Joins the Block Haters Club

    To date, I have only ever burned one GT shirt. I'm sure you guys will understand. It was my "Beat the Dwags" shirt. I accidentally got some red paint on it, making immediate corrective action necessary. I performed the needed exorcism first, then placed the shirt in my wood burning portable...

    Perfect article and so true.

    ACC vs SEC scorecard

    This is the driving factor. I really don't think the quality of SEC FB is any better than the other P5 leagues, but they are way better at putting butts in the seats. This is beyond argument when compared to the ACC.

    I have never thought of this but it makes sense.

    Pitt's fanbase is INSANE

    I kind of get a chuckle when I read TECH fans making fun of armPITT for empty seats in a 70+ thousand seat stadium. Calling for coaches heads after two consecutive losses has never happened here either. We need to be ready to play in a few days. That is all I have to say.

    Targeting

    For the life of me, I do not understand how a player can be called for targeting if he wraps up on the tackle. Gotsis was wrapped up all the way to the ground. Try to imagine launching yourself into a guy with the crown of your helmet and then getting your arms up over your head and around him...

    ACC vs SEC scorecard

    I have yet to count BYU as a power 5 opponent, so I am not going to start now. However, to make sure I am comparing apples to apples, I will make the changes with ND as a power 5. It makes sense. They play pretty much the toughest schedule in CFB year in and year out.

    UF vs TENN

    What do we make of it? With every game that passes by the accumulated season stat sheet, especially by common opponents, we get a little bit clearer picture of what we have for a TECH FB team. Going into this week, if I were to ask who has the better defense, UF or TECH? I feel pretty sure the...

    ACC vs SEC scorecard

    Well, another week, another losing record for the mighty Special Ed Conference against power 5 competition. Ole Miss loses to Cal and MISSOU gets absolutely slobber knocked by PURDUE, of all teams. Without an impressive one TD win by VANDY over a ranked KST team, the SEC might have been swept...
