Everyone remember when Chuck Amato was coach and we were an extremely undisciplined team and then we fired him and hired a marine and in the past the marine coached disciplined teams and he said that he was going to run a tight ship and that his team wouldn't get ridiculous penalties and that this discipline was one of his priorities.

Yeah.

That didn't really work out.

Sweet game apparently, though. Wish I wasn't stuck in Mississippi and could have seen it.

I think I saw ESPN just announce RW as the winner this week.

ty lawson!


^^ this was a very amato-esque win and I was pissed about the coaching during the game. Supposedly TOB is pretty mad himself though, which is somewhat encouraging at least

even still, amato wouldn't say anything about the penalties after the game....obrien basically said he wasn't happy with our performance and that we were lucky to win w/ the bonehead plays..i like his mindset compared to amato

looks like Conjuto has been visiting The Brickyard on PP

9/26/2009 9:35:10 PM

nah dude he already won

9/26/2009 9:35:21 PM

i obviously can't say for sure, but i think the difference between o'brien and amato will be clear at their next practice

just saw that, awesome news

Also, there's a rumor that Tyler Brosius may have committed as well...

9/26/2009 9:41:20 PM

you kidding me with that shit comparing amato and o'brien? amato almost always led the acc in penalty yards. before today we were only averagein 49 yd/game. at least 3 of the penalties were on Ju. Williams who was clearly still recovering from the flu (i hope, otherwise he sucks).

gtfo here with that troll bullshit.

What? Did this kid de-commit from Virginia? I'd never heard of him before.

9/26/2009 10:23:45 PM

^yeah, that is the rumor that is going around. Nothing is official yet. He committed to UVA before Bible had a chance to evaluate him. The staff does not offer a QB until Bible or TOB has seen him throw. Supposedly they made it out to one of his games recently.

Not to be an ass but he is the highest rated QB in North Carolina. How have you never heard of him?

To be honest, I haven't kept up with recruiting all that much.

I stopped reading other teams' message boards a long time ago...all it does is make me hate other schools.

I can do that anyway, why waste the extra time?

Scout and Rival boards are universally terrible. Reading them lowers your braincell count.

9/26/2009 10:44:27 PM

why is the game not on replay on ESPN360??

9/26/2009 10:53:41 PM

on pitt forums, which one of you said this?????????

"Are you serious?Why would you not want a QB of his caliber with the #1 pick.He can make all the NFL throws.A heckuva scrambler and a great leader and person.I would take Rivers with the #1 and RW is like him with speed.Snead from Ol Miss is a possibe top 5 pick an I think RW is way better.You also have to remember he is being coached by the same guys that made Matt Ryan from scratch."

9/26/2009 10:53:49 PM

over the top there.. way to make us look like asswipes LOL

9/26/2009 10:54:42 PM

this is why we can't have nice things

9/26/2009 11:01:15 PM

same douche posts this at unc??????????????//////

"Russell Wilson is a better, more dangerous QB than Phillip Rivers was as a sophomore. I don't think there has been a more dangerous QB in the ACC since Charlie Ward or that QB from GaT when they won the National Championship. The rest of the ACC is BEGGING Russell Wilson to go play baseball."

uggghh

9/26/2009 11:07:17 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't mind keeping quiet until the UNC game so when we win, we can sit back and smile.... instead of us talking shit all year and losing (like they did last year)


thats just my style though

9/27/2009 12:55:00 AM

ESPN gave RW a helmet sticker

9/27/2009 1:27:57 AM

^ Just came in here to post the same thing. Congrats RW, even though Mark May said you passed for 413 yards, when in actuality you accounted for that many through the air and on the ground.

thanks for the warning but my remaining ecstatic feelings from the game 8 hours ago will make me keep reading for now

packsenior03 only has 2 posts but both had me lolling

"He means you, you coal mining black-lunged bitch.

Nice fourth quarter defense, bitches. Bill Cowher said to tell you to suck it."

"Redneck and racist, huh? You're a one-trick pony.

That's what I'll say to the Pitt whore I bagged tonight when I spray a map of Hawaii on her back.

Again, way to finish out a 14-point lead. You guys almost had All The Right Moves."

9/27/2009 2:26:48 AM

^ i was doubled over, busting my guts laughing at that ish. I'm glad i stayed to the end. And damn if that thread didn't get quiet about 6:45pm tonight.

this is funny as hell (from the pittsburgh post gazette - same paper with that clown who said RW hadn't impressed him or the Carter isn't known for being a tough place to play. If i had the money i'd make 5000 of something with RW's picture on it and send it to his office).

"Regarding Pitt's great defense, it's all just terrible Sunday, September 27, 2009 By Ron Cook, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette RALEIGH, N.C. -- This much we know about Pitt after its first real test of the college football season, a game yesterday against North Carolina State that coach Dave Wannstedt had said would reveal where his program is in his fifth season: The alleged great defense isn't great at all. It's awful. "I would have never thought if we scored 31 points we would lose," Wannstedt said. "But it happened." Oh, yeah, it happened. We're talking about one of the great defensive breakdowns in Pitt history. That the Panthers lost, 38-31, after blowing a 14-point lead late in the third quarter wasn't the big surprise of this rainy Carolina afternoon and night. The big shock was that North Carolina State didn't score 50 points. Or 60 points. That's how bad the supposedly talented Pitt defense was. Highly regarded defensive ends Greg Romeus and Jabaal Sheard? Terrible. Certainly, they look awfully overrated at this point. Romeus got Pitt's only sack -- appropriately, he was penalized 15 yards for a face mask call on the play -- against quarterback Russell Wilson, who had been sacked 11 times in North Carolina State's first three games. Beyond that, Romeus and Sheard did nothing to contain Wilson, who had scrambles for 21, 25 and 21 yards, that last one on a fourth-and-14 play at the Pitt 28 early in the fourth quarter with the Panthers leading, 31-24. The linebackers, who played without starter Adam Gunn? Terrible. North Carolina State runners gashed them for 208 yards, including Wilson's scrambles. Running backs Toney Baker and Jamelle Eugene had runs of 16, 19 and 30 yards, adding to the Wolfpack's bevy of big plays. The woeful secondary? Beyond terrible. Wilson passed for 322 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions to receivers who had a field day running virtually uncovered at times and making big play after big play, seven going for gains of 22, 23 (touchdown), 24, 38 (touchdown), 33 (touchdown), 29 and 26 yards. Add it up and North Carolina State had 530 yards of offense, its best output in 59 games, going back to 2004. This was the same Wolfpack offense that managed all of three points in a 7-3 home loss to South Carolina Sept. 3, its only test of the season before yesterday. If you want to call the Pitt defense a test. Other than defensive tackle Mick Williams, who continues to look like Pitt's best player and make plays all over the field, the whole bunch should be embarrassed. "I thought defensively we didn't make any plays," Wannstedt said, ever the master of the obvious. "Their offense made all the plays." It's a crying shame because Pitt's offense -- especially quarterback Bill Stull -- played well enough to win. If you're like me, you're probably feeling a little foolish for thinking he would be Pitt's big weakness this season. Really, Stull threw only one bad ball all day -- an overthrow out of the end zone on fourth-and-goal in the final 80 seconds after Pitt recovered a fumbled shotgun snap by the Wolfpack at the North Carolina State 8 with 2:45 left. A play earlier, he threw a pretty pass that tight end Dorin Dickerson could have caught for the tying touchdown, although it would have been an above-average catch. But the game shouldn't have come down to that final Pitt series. When Stull threw a 79-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jonathan Baldwin late in the third quarter to give the Panthers a 31-17 lead, it should have been enough for the defense. Great defenses rise to the occasion at that point of the game, right? Not Pitt's. North Carolina State went 45, 83 and 71 yards on its next three possessions for touchdowns. Yeah, that's some defense. The Pitt loss was even more deflating because North Carolina State did all it could to give the game away. It missed a short field goal and had another blocked. It botched its clock management at the end of the first half, settling for a field goal on third down from the Pitt 7 despite having a timeout left. It had 12 penalties for 81 yards. And it had that horrible shotgun snap over Wilson's head late. "Right now, we're not a good football team and I'm not a good coach," North Carolina State's Tom O'Brien said. If that's true, what does that say about Pitt and Wannstedt? Not much, I'm thinking. The Panthers have a short week to regroup. They play Friday night at Louisville against a team they should be able to overwhelm. But the way the defense is hemorrhaging yards and points ... "We'll go back and keep stressing fundamentals," Wannstedt said, promising his players will work hard this week to rectify their many problems. "We've got great kids." A great defense is another story."

for real though, Big Mickwilliams is a helluva player...he's kinda like their Nate Irving, except he's a DT i think

"as much as my only divorce. Never saw that coming, either. Have to put time in and the distance, too, on this hurt to dull the senses. I don't know if I can do it, though in this short week. Six days is hardly enough time to grieve over this loss. The hurt seems unshakable now. As did the blindsided break-up and loss of a loved one. Just like the failed marriage, I only blame myself for thinking we'd have a chance to be perfect over the long haul. This hurt cost less than the failed marriage. $110 isn't much to learn not to bet with one's heart. Add three zeroes to the aforementioned figure in summing up the total of that "until death do us part" gamble. Got away cheap this time. But, I'm still learning. And I'll bounce back here. Eventually."
