Hey.....let's knock on wood. But you can argue this is our best December since 2008. Going bowling, with a head coach, two must win games....some momentum on the recruiting trail.

YAY!!!! Finally.

It's going to be nice going into the recruiting season without worrying how we're going to patch it together. If we end up taking 29, we'll instead be wondering just how fast the staff can flip the roster to their own people.

Next year...........

12 - 0 baby!!!!!

Thought it was a good day at the shop tonight. Just makes you wonder what could have been had we beaten YSU, Cuse, UCONN and ND. All games that we so winnable.

No kidding. But what bowl would we have rec'd at 10-2 and a win over ND.

I agree about YSU and ND. I thought Syracuse beat us pretty soundly if. Am being invest. UCONN was a game where we looked like we didn't even care to be on the field that day. I think 8-4 wouldn't have been too far of a stretch had we won against YSU and ND. We absolutely should have beaten ND without question.

He is just a very easy coach to root for. Especially after the last slime ball we had in here. He will really gain some fan momentum going into next year if he can win the big recruiting battles that he has left.

Just enjoying the victory, maybe a little too much lol. What do you think about year one of PC?

Hey - I just posted some of Sunseri's stats...

Yes reason for optimism. This team for the first time in years finished strongNow we need stability and some good pick ups before feb signing day

It will be interesting to watch the QB position next year for sure. As even the announcers were indicating that part of TIno's numbers (at least the lack of Picks) were related to him being overly conservative and taking sacks rather than throwing the ball. Tino rarely ever tried to force the ball, which is a good thing but also had to have guys wide open in order to throw the ball Im sure the new guy will have more pics but I think sacks will go down and we'll have many more positive plays out of the position. If Voytek or Chapman pay, we'll finally have a QB MAKE PLAYS rather than simply manage the game. The interesting thing will be to see how well PC can coach em up to limit the negative plays. TIno didnt turn the ball over much but his penchant for turtling killed drives far too often especially in tight games

No - I'll be quite happy to have Sunseri move on and to have a new face behind center.

My point is that you, and others, can't find it in you to give the young man one iota of credit no matter what he's done, which is ludicrous.

In case you hadn't noticed I find it funny how some PITT fans react to seeing those stats in print - a tweaking of the collective noses so to say. Be honest - if Sunseri throws for over 192 yards in our bowl game it will chap your ass to see his name ahead of Marino's. I think its ironic, that's all.

Also, I'm not sure how you come to the conclusion that I'd be 'beating down' on the new QB. I suppose you haven't been on these boards too long but my actions in regards to Sunseri, Stull and Bostick before him is that I'm generally supportive of whoever the PITT QB is. But I also think they should be benched if not playing well either as long as there is a viable back-up.

That wasn't the case this year so I wasn't screaming for Sunseri to get yanked. But I have in the past. BTW - in case you actually believe that I am an apologist for Sunseri here are two past articles I wrote for a blog where I criticize Sunseri pretty strongly
