No. You're the moron who forgot you threw out the old roasting pan last year, and promptly forgot the plan to get a replacement when they went on clearance, until 30 minutes before you were going to put the bird in the oven.

That was Heather Lyke's final gift to Pitt in the summer of 2024. A 3 year extension that made no sense.

Rationalize that one away, with the knowledge that if Pitt had held on to that game, they would have stuck with Holstein.

Hate being negative this early in the season, but Pitt basketball isn't giving much of a choice.

Narduzzi frustrates for spells, because it feels like he's leaving meat on the bone with the team.
Capel just lets the meat get rancid.

We regularly rail on Narduzzi's contract extension, and buyout issues.
It feels downright reasonable when I think about the fact that Capel has a contract running until 2030.

Had 'em all the way.

Again

This is some 2020 Mark Whipple offensive play calling

How does Pitt manage to suffer an injury on a kick off that goes out of bounds?

PHEW!

When the Pitt O-line fails, they do it with style.

Boosie Turner is doing to GT what ND's Love did to Pitt last week.

Great sideline reporting in the Pitt-GT game. Reporter said, that there was a sense of panic on the GT sideline to try and get going on offense.
Then GT goes 3-and-out with absolute mistake after mistake.

ACC, Clemson, and Florida State Settle Litigation Charlotte, NC, Clemson, SC, and Tallahassee, FL – The ACC, Clemson University, and Florida State University announce today that they have resolved all ongoing legal disputes.

"...As with success initiatives, ACC member schools will have the opportunity to earn increased viewership distributions from the ACC’s media revenues and will be incentivized to take actions that enhance viewership across the ACC’s 18 member schools." (2/2)
theacc.com/news/2025/3/...

This was the ACC press release.
"...members of the ACC have agreed to build upon the previously announced success initiatives by creating an additional revenue distribution model that is based on viewership. ... focused on annual football and men’s basketball viewership..." (1/2)

No. Unsurprisingly they keep the formula vague. The only way we ever get clues are FOIAs from schools not in PA or when VT's athletic department showed where VT was in TV viewership in prior years in a presentation to their board of trustees (or whatever they call them in that commonwealth).

The trade off is obvious when Pitt ends up 2-2 in non-con and is then dismissed from any rankings or discussion going into ACC play. Then the ratings for Pitt game in the ACC portion suffer. Both because of where placed in the ESPN broadcasts and interest.
There isn't a great answer or choice.

The ACC revenue system incentivizes scheduling good non-con. The higher the overall TV ratings the team gets, the more money distributed from the TV rights. It's why (like it or not) getting ND on the schedule matters. And why Pitt almost has to have 2 P5 non-cons/year.

Mike. Whatever.

I remain amazed at the denial Mark Norvell is with respect to his hairline versus the haircut.

Not sure why I'm still sitting in the Ack, other than a complete lack of desire to sit in traffic and seethe for at least a little longer.

Bad O-line play.
Receiver drops.
Bad decision making from the QB.
No running game.
Really iffy offensive play calls.

Can't say the Pitt offense wasn't a team effort today.

Duzzi: not an important game.
Pitt: we are retiring Aaron Donald's jersey. And we have To t Dosett and Tyler "fucking" Palko on hand.

It has been a good morning.

Love it

Grife. You sound just like my wife.

Tim Kaine isn't really this stupid.
It sucks that he believes that his constituents are.

Counterpoint. COD games come out in the offseason of baseball.
