So yeah. I’m tired of the Pitt-Penn State thing for this calendar year. Unless they actually draw up a contract, I think we’ve gone deep enough into the issue (especially in this post). Until anything is made official (probably shortly after Paterno is buried), we’ll get this type of thing.
Yesterday, Paterno was asked during his weekly news conference if he would be in favor of playing Pitt on a six-and-four basis — six home games for the Nittany Lions and four away — over a 10-year period.
I’m exhausted of talking about the Pitt-PSU subject, and I don’t think that Paterno is actually serious with what he says. All this does is deflect some of the criticism directed at him, and he even tries to pass it off as AD Tim Curley’s choice. They have a home and home series with Syracuse starting next year — if we’re so “inferior” to them, why do they go and schedule a series with a team that is similar if not worse than us. Scared we’ll pull an upset?
And when did they schedule it, i can’t fine syracuse 10-2. They were 9-3 and 10-3 in 2000, is that what he is talking about?
Like everyone knows, they have nothing to gain, but everything to lose. After the lean years this decade they’re going to do everything they can to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Soft big ten? Check. 3 powder puffs? Check. Schedule the single most overrated team in the nation the last 10 years and tell everyone they’re a “powerhouse”? Check. App State would win the national championship with their schedule.
