Not so impressive now

[guff]

Pitt lost 16-10 to Ohio. Not Ohio State, not even that upstart geographically confused MAC team Miami of Ohio. Just plain Ohio University. Palko once thought of as a the next best thing threw three INTs including one in OT returned TD. Way to go Wanny.

Kind of knocks some of the luster off the win.

If you own the rights to firewannstedt.com, your payday is coming soon.

Yes this is why I didnt get too excited when they beat Pitt.

The first and second week polls dont really matter so much and dont really give an accurate team ranking. Its based more on how the team did last year as oppossed to how the team WILL do this year. Ex, Oklahoma, Pitt.

But even if ND beat a weak Pitt team I think they will still be a strong team this year. And I will not be surprised if they beat Mushagain today. Go Irish!!!

Don't forget we injured Palko, so until he is healthy, it isn't the same Pitt team.

well unless they get Walt Harris back this isnt a good team...DW is looking bad right now

Pitts team is basically the same as last year, besides even if they do suck, ND did what any good team is supposed to do to a subpar team, and thats kick the sh@t outta them. Which we did.

DW is such an underacheiver -- PITT FANS BEWARE. They overacheived last year bc Walt Harris turned then into a pass happy program. DW is trying to 'force fit' physical run oriented football with NO O-line. Not exactly a Rocket Scientist.

Reminds me of trying to make Carlyle into a West coast QB.

Way to go Stache-stedt! Who do you mighty Panthers play next week...Sisters of the Poor? Watch out, Them young ladies like to throw down field. My prediction:

Pitt-3
Sisters of the Poor- 35

He is probably the most hated Chicago sports figure outside of Steve Bartman. I mean people here HATE Wannstedt with a passion. There have been more Ohio U fans in this area lately than there have ever been, and for obvious reasons.

Ultimately, ND needs Pitt and UM to win now so that the schedule strength stays up near the top end. That goes for every opponent on the schedule.

"... I mean people here HATE Wannstedt with a passion. ... "

When Lou "retired" there were a vocal group of ND fans calling for Wannstedt over Davie as the next head coach. Based upon's Wannstedt's first two games college
Davie actually was the better choice (not that he was the right choice). And consider that while Davie lost to Solich at Nebraska, Wannstedt lost to Solich - at Ohio.

If it was Davie and Wanny, I'd have put a gun in my mouth.

I didn't want Davie from the start. A D coordinator that ND beat twice and came here only to not set the world on fire? Rookie head coach for the biggest job there is in college football?

They could have done way better than both of these guys.
