I’m still pumped after the win, which I expect will carry through at least the next few days. The game ended over 18 hours ago but I still feel great. Probably the two best YouTube videos you will ever see as a Pitt fan:
On-field and Locker Room Celebrations
You know…the “Soulja Boy“.
I’ve already watched those five times apiece — makes me feel great.
President of that toilet….before they took a shit. Keep living in denial….”good school”….”national championship”….
I bet his trailer is the nicest one though…
ooohh to be in college again
I know some of our seniors weren’t the best, but every kid that goes to college to play ball deserves a sendoff like that in what is possibly their last organized football game their senior year.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of going to grad school, and looking at a few grad programs around the country. I now think I know where I want to go the most. That win was THAT good.
nice article on espn.com
Louisville coach Steve Kragthorpe released defensive coordinator Mike Cassity, and offensive coordinator Charlie Stubbs resigned on Sunday just days after the Cardinals stumbled to a 6-6 season.
HAIL TO PITT
12-0
13-9
Fuck them both.
The Rich Rodriguez post game press conference. I missed it last night and I want to keep it for ever and always.
On note about the game -Man… I love the fact that our defense at the end of the 3rd quarter sprinted to the other end of the field. At that moment WVU was beaten
Our boys were fired up.. i hope this HUGE WIN carries over to off season worksouts, landing strong recruits and confidences going into 2008.
HAIL TO PITT
When I get the chance to go Heinz when I get in town it just is missing that magic…
great to see and it proves what I have been thinking for a while now…this fan base is just dying for a success story
Here’s to hoping that last night is the first step towards that story

Those are 3 really big ifs though…i’d be most disappointed if we didn’t get the same inspired brand of all-out football we saw yesterday. It was amazing to watch…over and over again…

Hail to PITT!

MI State, Navy, Louisville, Rutgers…… we are right on the verge of breaking through.

I totally agree…and this is why I did criticize DW for not getting an experienced Jucco kid to backup Stull.
If we even split those 4 games we are heading to a bowl at 7-5.
I don’t want to rain on this parade…I am ecstatic about this win…I also think the reason DW was more emotional now than he was earlier is that with more PT/experience these kids have…his expectation curve is much higher than it was 4,8 games ago.
One thing I am excited to see/hear is Chas’s assessment of Paul Rhoads…how do you fire a guy that came up with a scheme that completely shutdown that prolific offense…
I was in total agreement that he had to go, but I think its almost impossible to see him get fired now.

One DVD of
(1) the pregame discussions giving Pitt absolutely zero chance (Corso, Herbsteit, Fowler especially)
(2)the game itself (Bill Hillgrove calling)
(3)the Pitt victory celebrations and interviews
(4)the Rich Rodriguez press conference (where you could hear Pitt celebrating through the walls as RR nearly loses his shit at the podium)
I’m so damn happy right now, I feel guilty even asking for that much.

We get a serviceable QB and the kids play like that every game, watch out…
Point taken and I don’t disagree with your statement.
I was reluctant to even state the point cause again I didn’t want to diminish the acheivement the Pitt team accomplished this past weekend.
I think my only reason to state so is that our 5-7 record doesn’t do justice of how close this team is to being a bowl team again that’s all.
I really think that 1 ommission alone prevented us from being 7-5 with the possibility of being 9-3.
I was more looking at it optimistically than it probably sounded.

Merry Christmas…..Here is a link to RR’s post game interview, and you can clearly here Pitt players celebrating in a locker room directly behind the podium…..Does anyone have a link to Lou Holtz pep talk?…..The ESPN link does not work……Also, I believe that Pat White through the last pass in the end zone hoping that the REF’s would make another phantom call against Pitt but he through it to far out of bonds….Anyway, enjoy the video.
