So Espn got it right today about Pitt Wv and Penn State…
Penn state fans always feel they are superior to Pitt, pitt fans feel they are superior to Wv… all of them have flaws that probably keep them out of the real national championship picture for the most part..
Pitt fans want to beat Penn State, but don’t want to lose to WV…
Pitt is a very weird program… they kneecapped their program in 39 (when they were tge best program in the country) to spite it because the guy running it hated sports and wanted them to be pure academics… they rebuilt it in the 70’s and go through this cycle of getting good and blowing things up ever since… basically a great formula for mediocrity
they are literally stuck between penn state, who is above them in worldwide academic ranks, (not by as much as penn state tends to think), but PSU has a much better academic reputation, and West Virginia, who doesn’t give one **** about academic standards, but can get guys nobody else wants because of it…
