As Lee posted earlier, BC blew their big chance. Hell, they didn’t just blow it. They came up smaller than anything Pitt did last year. Even with a young, untested QB, there was no excuse for that lame a performance on both sides of the ball. That BC couldn’t run against the Orange was pathetic. Syracuse was without it’s star running back, the second running back was gimpy, and the safety for Syracuse was filling the position and scoring. That’s just an epic gak.

Now Pitt makes up a game from September. A game that Coach Walt Harris has, in a way, been waiting 3 years to play. That game 3 years ago that really took the luster off of his star with the Pitt fans. A loss one dark Saturday in September 2001. The first time the University of South Florida Bulls — a freshly minted Division I-A team — had ever won a road game against a Div. I-A opponent. And they didn’t just win. They dominated and humiliated a Pitt team expected to be top 25.

This Bulls team just got crushed, and had its bowl hopes dashed (they needed a win today and against Pitt). Think they wouldn’t mind playing spoiler? I mean, let’s not kid anyone. This is not a particularly good team. Still they will be at home. This will be their bowl game. They have nothing to lose. Pitt has everything.

LET’S GO PITT!! Or as my 2-year old daughter says in response to that phrase, “MUST GO PITT!!”
