Or to a women's basketball game as our ladies kick the crap out of the Mac.

I think that is the best argument that can be made in favor of a BG win!! That guy does nothing but screw teams up. That win against West Virginia was a major fluke.

With a mustache that good, who cares whether he can coach or not.....

I don't get that joke. Never have. Seriously, can somebody explain this to me because I don't get it.

Four or five years ago, there was a rumor/story about us playing a game at Michigan that never ended up happening. (I forget the exact details.) Anyway, it has since become a running joke every time schedule talk comes up.

Go Falcons. Beat the Panthers. Should be some awesome tailgating. Wonder how many fans Pitt brings to their home games

We were supposed to play Meeeechigan in 2004 or 2005. I'm thinking it was 2005 and we backed out to play Whisky up at their place. Once it got cancelled, there were a number of people who kept asking when we were going to play them. Eventually, it became a running joke to talk about playing Michigan.

The current pet "topic that won't die" is "hey, why we do we have a 3 for 1 deal with Boise State?" We don't and never have...and the reasons behind that fact have been discusssed ad nauseum in numerous scheduling threads, but the topic still pops up from time time like a roach after a cookie crumb.

Pitt's defensive coordinator accepted the same position at Auburn this week, so they will be breaking in a new side of the ball as well.

There should be no problem with tickets. If it isn't WVU or Notre dame they don't draw well.

I am soooo looking forward to the trip to Pitt. It's less than a 2 hr drive from Akron. I hope it isn't a noon kickoff...what time does Pitt usually play?

I was there when we lost in 1999...we totally dominated on both sides of the ball and left the field a 30-10 loser...due to 3 Big special teams plays by Pitt and an int return for a score. That sucked.
