Official 2012-13 Pitt Football Thread

[IanMoran]

I'm not sure if this thread is inappropriate?

Last year we had the college football thread and the Big East thread (which was mostly Pitt with some WVU).

Anyways

Hail to Pitt

Hopefully the Paul Chryst era goes a little better than the last 2 hirings.

I'd really like to see Pitt have a CONVINCING win tonight.

It looks like Ray Graham is all set to go (At least he's tweeting like he is).

RB- Rushel shell, DB Tony Gonzalez, DL Tyrone Ezell, and D Shayne Hale all suspended from tonight's game

Here is hoping that Tino isn't in full suck mode early on. If he can just be a game manager this team could win some games. If he tries to gun sling the ball around.. then Pitt is F'd.

I admit this isn't the best way to judge someone, but if one were to judge Tino based on his Twitter account... he's not a very intelligent fellow. Idk if I'd trust him to stay in game manager mode

The QBs can't possibly suck as bad as they did last year. Right? Please?

Eh, time to stock up on booze.

I don't think that'll be the case with Chryst's offense, but even if it is I think Tino could be fine in a pro-style offense when he has time to make decisions based off of what he sees rather than anticipating what his receivers will do.

Tino completed a pass already.

[skullman80]

....and graham fumbles...

....and graham fumbles...

At least it was a high octane fumble.

Youngstown State really having success running along the edges.

[jprolley]

Yeah buddy

[skullman80]

Youngstown state made that look easy.. way too easy. Embarrassing.

[jprolley]

At least one penguins team can score at Heinz Field

[skullman80]

So why no names on the back of Pitt jerseys? Random.

Good drive there. Tino looked pretty good.

I know in colleges crazy offenses work, but just from a selfish viewpoint.. I like watching NFL-style offenses 9999 times more

I guess that makes me a yinzer lol

The structure in the NFL is great, but you have to love some of the awesome plays/formations you see in college. For the most part its kids who wont go pro playing the game they love like its still backyard football and sometimes the plays reflect that.
