I assure you that I am OK if he never takes another snap as a Pitt QB (I’ve been saying that for 2 months now.) But until I am sure we have a better option …..

Whoa whoa. Hold up. I wouldn’t just make it up that Tino may transfer. On campus talk (which probably stemmed from TINO himself talking to friends of his) is that he may consider transferring down to a D-2 program. How true it is, well only Tino may know the real answer.

And what I meant when I said “He must have realized that Graham is doing everything he can to replace him,” is that you all have been hearing the rumblings that, if the right fit for the offensive system, Graham would take a fifth year QB transfer to head his offensive attack. I doubt Graham would even mention it (especially knowing that Tino would catch wind of it) if it wasn’t an honest & open invitation to fifth year seniors out there who may be able to fit into Graham’s system, to consider coming to Pitt for their last year.

With that said, I believe Tino may think Graham is very serious (and I hope he is) about finding a quarterback to “temporarily” run the offense for next year, enabling Voytik to get a redshirt year under his belt to learn the system.

I’m thinking that Cookie must know something, maybe he made a call to Sal or Sal called him. I’ve NEVER seen an article in the PG or the Pgh Press before that, THAT SUGGESTED A PLAYER TRANSFER !
And that player being the starting QB.

Well, all I can say…..as I said yesterday, I don’t see Sunseri sitting on the bench cheering on his replacement. Does anyone here?

And I hope Cookie is right.

He suddenly developed a health problem during our Bowl Game in 2009, stole the limelight from us winning 10 games and the headlines and then the very next day or two, ‘oh I didn’t mean any of what I said on Saturday. What a putz.

He’s not worried about his health in the high pressure cooker of a job at Ohio State is he?

Can’t stand that wanker. Him and Ohio Fake make a good match !

SMU has been resurrected by former Hawaii coach(when they were in the Sugar Bowl), June Jones.

Although who knows if I’ll even bother to watch unless TG starts Gonzo. It’s like not until after New Year’s day. What a stupid time to hold a 3rd rate bowl game. I mean a couple years ago I remember watching the New Mexico Bowl because it was only game on that day, and it actually turned out to be one of the better games in all of bowl season, BUT it was on like well before Christmas.

And this will transform the whole Little 11 into a spread offense league. Sea changes are coming for the Little 11, Diaper Joe gone, Suburban Urban in.

It will be interesting to see if Phile State hires a spread offense coach to keep up with Ohio Fake and the inevitable change coming to the Little 11.

This is an excellent observation Spindler, if TG has no plans what so ever of playing Sunseri next year (and he shouldn’t), then THERE IS NO REASON TO PLAY HIM IN THE BOWL GAME.

We have a over a month of practice till the Bowl game, surely TG can get Gonzo or Myers or Anderson plenty of prep time. Hell the time we have to prepare for this Bowl game is akin to August training camp.

I’m all in with this observation Spindler. And so should TG.

For those that think Sunseri had a decent game yesterday, Pitt should have routed any team that coughed up 6 turnovers. Yet it was only 26-20 late in the 4rth Q. It was 20-10 Pitt at halftime, so again Pitt tanked in the 2nd half, as the offense only socred 2 FG’s. The last TD, as you know was scored by the defense.

Again, and TG is well aware of this. Anytime the other team coughs up 6 turnovers, it shouldn’t be a 1 possession game late in the 4rth Q.

There would be 150-200 comments after a game. Most of that is attributable to the forlorn play at QB, people got tired of watching it.

Do you blame them?

And now we learn that 2 of our offensive assistants are leaving to join Coach Dick Rod, hiding out in the Arizona dessert. So, I guess that means the end of “high octane.” Too bad. I really enjoyed that.

I am sure that Coach Elmer Gantry is, right now, on his knees seeking divine guidance.

Dana Holgersen, in his first year as coach of WVU, takes them to the Orange Bowl.

Fed up. Fed up. F’n fed up with mediocrity. Every Pitt fan should right now be emailing Chancellor Nordberg, and ringing his doorbell and running. What a frigging joke our football program has become.

Hail to Pitt for making a bowl, despite a frustrating season. Let’s hope Spindler’s suggestion above is read and implemented by TG and we see the wildcat early and often in the BBVA bowl. And no 60 minutes for me. Only mike wallace I watch is no. 17 for da Stillers…HTP

So much for paying our assistants big money. Great call on that one too, Stevie.

There are 12 other 6-6 teams going to Bowl games and get this, EVEN A 6-7 Ucla team is going bowling.
Incredible, first time ever? Don’t know.

No Bowl games on New Year’s Day at all (that’s got to be a first), I guess the NFL is laying claim to January 1rst this year. Hope that’s not permanent.

I can’t remember a Bowl Game on the old new year’s day this year, January 2nd this year, having not one, but two 6-6 teams with Ohio Fake vs. Florida in the Gator Bowl. This is priceless, they should rename it: The Suburban Urban Coming & Going Bowl. And you don’t think this bowl stuff has anything to do with politics and money?

You should have learned that when two Pitt 11-1 teams were relegated to the Gator Bowl back in 79 & 80 which was played Dec. 30 or 31rst back then.
We got screwed out of another two possible National Championships. Somehow I think Diaper Joe had a hand in that!

This is news, for the first time EVER, the ACC has two schools (Clemson & Va Tech) in BCS Bowls.
Hopefully this is the first of many times for that, meaning two BCS Bowls.

Oh and nobody wanted Phile State except a first time ever bowl, something called the Ticket City Bowl. But SOMEHOW, it’s on Jan 2nd with all the other this year’s New Year’s day bowls. But it is relegated to ESPNU. As in we hate U. 🙂

Oh and Boise State and TCU got screwed again, but what’s new about that.

So that’s about all you need to know about this years bowl lineup gang. Watch & barf as needed.
haha

Too bad we didn’t get the OC that TG had with him last year at Tulsa. Chad Morris I think, well they’re headed to the Orange Bowl as well.
If you saw Clemson play last night, against a very good Va TEch, team, that’s the way the spread is supposed to work. But hey they have a D1 QB, makes a difference.

Todd Graham knew Sunseri sucked from the very beginning. Graham tells his players not to curse…I wish people know how Graham spoke of Tino during the Spring game.

Graham consistantly blames Tino for missing the reads. In this system their appears to be know reads in the passing game. Take the snap lock on the reciever either cutting across the field 5 yards from the line or a quick pass to the sideline. I love the calls when it is third and one or two and the call is for Tino to roll out to the short side of the field, wth the enter defense going that way minimizing any option he has, rather than one or two power runs up the belly.

After this season can anyone honestly be objective and say that TG is a better game coach than DW (and that was DW’s weakness). Bull shit about the first season. A schedule that was incredibly weak, Iowa and Utah terrible years, Maine and Buffalo, the enire Big East was worst than any year in memory, and N.D. lost 4 games. Four wins excluding Buffalo and Maine (4-6).
The schedule was much more difficlt last year.

Make every excuse possible, injuries, Tino (his stats. were better last year)8-4 would have been a disaster. TG must have obique sun glasses.
