We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.
I’d say that fits us Pitt fans pretty damn well. And it is what we do so well.
When we lose a game there is next week’s match. Have a poor season and there is always next year. Lose a coach – the next one will be even better. Lose an AD… well, you get the drift.
What keeps us sane with those multiple expectations we have is the humble nature of people who care about and follow Pitt football. Yes, that is what I said.
We truly are a humble community and I’d say a group of like-minded people who are also pretty well grounded with those expectations.
Which brings us to the today’s 3:30 game against ACC conference leading Clemson and their lofty #2 national ranking. We Pitt fans know we are going to lose this game. Hell, even the Pitt fans who couldn’t bring themselves to formally pick Pitt to lose chose Pitt to win with a caveat.
They did so with an explanation on why they had to do so even thought they are pretty sure we’ll see a “L” in that bad column tomorrow.
And this why I love you gals and guys and why I do what I do on here. Whether we come out of the locker room and lay an egg or whether we see our kids pull another 13-9 again we’ll still love and follow Pitt football.
Is that a curse on us from some unseen demon from the underworld or is it just the way it is? Maybe because we are so great in all the other aspects of our lives some Supreme Being takes one little part of our big hearts and stomps on it with glee on a regular basis.
I really don’t know – You tell me…
*Yeah….Pitt is gonna get LIT UP* tonight under the lights in SoCar* lol —- but like you said @Reed — everyone here will still **Love Pitt .
Clemson right now is what Pitt fans are hoping Pat Narduzzi can build Pitt into. At the moment though — Talent Mis-Match Central.
Hail to Pitt! — Pitt needs to focus in-on that 7-5 this year and finish off the last 2 home games.

The commentators stressed that Pitt will need to score a lot to overcome the CB play.
Here’s hoping out defensive minded HC devises a scheme that surprises the tigers.

The margin of error is thin in CFB.
The difference isn’t one or two plays.

PN is coaching (aka “teaching”) like great CEOs lead….he is building a state of mind.

Dan 72 – Speaking of realists, I need some “free” advice on sales forecasting. My VP of sales gave me a lower than expected forecast for 2017. I reviewed with him what I thought the first qtr might bring and told him if that really happened, we’d book 1/2 of his full year by March. He told me he gave me what his team thought was “reality” – I told him I wanted his team to deliver an optimistic # – set the bar high and go for it.

Give Narduzzi some credit because he is learning as he gets more experienced … He could have overreacted to some of the calls against us in this game, but he didn’t lose his cool. Dabo, on the other hand, blew up and took it out on the refs, and that didn’t score him any points or get him in their good graces, if anything the refs made gave some of the later 50-50 calls to us.
It’s easy to say, sitting on your coach, that you should not overreact in certain situations, and I’m sure at some point in the future the refs will make a call that causes Narduzzi’s blood to boil and he’ll go nuts, but today his demeanor (especially when contrasted with the opposing coach) contributed to the win.

If you are Narduzzi, you need to be telling your guys that the victory last night means nothing if you don’t follow it up with a solid effort next week. Duke will be an interesting game because they too had an exciting victory when they were a big underdog, but against their rival. Both coming off emotional wins. Advantage Pitt because we are at home, but I am concerned with our injuries. We are 3-4 deep at some positions.
