Dart throwing would probably have yielded more defensible results. Probably





I can’t believe I’m saying this, but great column by Ron Cook in the Post Gazette today. Probably the best I’ve ever read from him.

That is just what we need more Wanny bashing from another moron jumping on the bandwagon, too late and lazy to come with an original thought.

Its wednesday already. I’d prefer something on the impending game, Buffalo’s strengths and weakness, how we match up, etc.

Oh I fogot,that would take some ingenuity and intelligence. Back to the bashing.

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.03.08 @ 10:50 am

I just read it. He couldn’t have said it better.

Comment by Pittastic 09.03.08 @ 11:03 am

You’re absolutely right, lacking any basic writing skills he could’t have said it any better.

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.03.08 @ 11:46 am

I actually wrote to Ron Cook and thanked him for putting my thoughts in print. Its about time DWs ass starts heating up. He is a good guy, a good recruiter, good fundraiser and ambassador for Pitt, but he is not the coach for us. We need a gutsy coach that believes in his kids and plays to win.

Comment by Rex 09.03.08 @ 11:48 am

I think shadyforpres is a wvu fan that secretly wants us to keep wanny…nice try. He starts winning and soon or he needs to move on.

Comment by Rex 09.03.08 @ 11:49 am

Oh look, Rex is sharing a brain with Ron Cook. The two men with one brain. However, it’s the medical break we’re looking for.

Ouch, a WVU fan? Why don’t you just kick me in the balls?

Attack me all you want, just leave Wanny alone.

Shady:

I’ve been posting on this board for years. Go blow the coaches on someone else’s time. Nobody wants to read your defense of the pitiful performance last Saturday.

The fans are sick of listening to excuses. The season isn’t over or anything, but Wannstedt and his assistants need to coach these kids to perform on gameday. If Wannstedt coaches them and they perform well, then he gets the credit. If he doesn’t, then he deserves the blame. It is the same as any other job. Deal with it!

Omar:

Go blow yourself.

“…just leave Wanny alone”

Hey, Shadyforpresident- are you that “leave Britney alone” kid?

Dan35,

No, but I sure hope Wanny and Cav pay me the money they promised for writing nice stuff about them.

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.03.08 @ 12:45 pm

I defended DW for 3 years. Hes run out of excuses.

Comment by Rex 09.03.08 @ 12:51 pm

Relevant to the debate in this thread, a sports editorial in the Buffalo News:

Shady for President, Wanny has no clue, do you?

Comment by Shady fo World Piece 09.03.08 @ 1:22 pm

Shady fo World Piece,

Do you?

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.03.08 @ 1:44 pm

shadyforp,

We get it. You don’t care about results. You care about “yards” and “next year…”

Ask anyone on here, i’ve been the most defensive person of this coaching staff the last few years. I gave them every benefit of the doubt. Every chance. Bought all the excuses. Told others to be patient. Sent in my money, got my season tickets, went and supported the team.

And we got shit on in return. Pee Wee coaches call better games. They were going to do what they were going to do, whether it worked or not. They were going to implement a gameplan that called for perfection, had no misdirection, trickeration, or different packages. “Here we come, try and stop us.” And stop us they did.

Get your head out of your ass. You’re on your own. Come back in a year and tell us how right you were. Me thinks we’ll be hearing the same shit from you though: “next year….” “players fault…” “injuries….” “their vaginas have sand in them…”

Comment by Stuart 09.03.08 @ 6:52 pm

shadyforpresident is either on the payroll or is actually Wanny or Cav! Cav is joke as a OC and you know it. He wouldn’t have taken that Pitt OC job if he had more options. Believe me, nobody’s knocking down his door.

Comment by Pittastic 09.03.08 @ 6:59 pm

Stuart,
Get your head out of your ass. If you would read the posts you’d know I don’t care about yards, altough you do know that we need to get some to get the ball in the end zone, don’t you? That is how they score points in football.

You come back in a year and whine about the new coach.

Flame on, Stuart, flame on.

I seriously hope your bile doesn’t digest you from the inside out.

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.04.08 @ 8:54 am

Pittastic,

You’re on to me. I’m Wanny, so get off my back please. I asked nicely, OK.

Isn’t that what you said last year about Rhodes? Auburn want him and more than than double his salary.

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.04.08 @ 9:04 am

Auburn will soon learn what a mistake they made. Probably by the hated Mointanqueers… If this Buffalo game is even close, they should fire Wanny on the spot.

Comment by Pittastic 09.04.08 @ 12:04 pm

What in your mind is a big win?

We’re 13 point favorites against Buffalo. I’d be happy if we win by 3 just as long as we show some improvement. Buffalo is a good team with 2 good RBs, a good QB, a bright young coach and a big offensive line. It is wrong to disrespect them because they’re in the MAC and expect to win big. I still think if we make as many mistakes, don’t execute, lose the turnover ratio and don’t block tackle or field punts like last week we’re in big trouble, independent of the game calling.

Comment by shadyforpresident 09.04.08 @ 1:15 pm

Keep telling yourself that shady. If we don’t beat a team like that in impressive way, I don’t believe we’ve shown improvement. Maybe we should also hire a bright young coach.
