Five Reasons to Hate Pitt

Well guys, as we all know, it's natural for us Oregon Staters to make friends. Other then when we play Oregon, we have some of the kindest fans in the country. We are passionate more about our team then we are hating whoever we are playing, which I think is the case for a lot of fans these days. So I gave Pitt a chance.
I saw a lot of Pitt bashing over at Black Shoe Diaries, Penn St's blog, but I figured it was due to the whole "in-state rivalry" thing. But it's worse. Pitt fans are some of the most arrogant that I have come across yet. Granted, it's the internet idiots that I encountered, but PSU fans have assured me that it is the same across the board. So, given all this, I have decided to write 5 reasons to hate Pitt: starting with #5.
#5. Dave Wannstedt
This Mike Riley wannabe not only sucks as a coach, but how nasty is that 'stache? He coached in the NFL, and had very little success (82-86), and was canned twice. Mike Riley has only been canned once. After going 9-3 this year, Wanny has his record at Pitt up to 25-22, which we all know is a solid record in the always tough Big East conference. And again, look at that STACHE! Remind anyone else of another child-molester lookin' fella that we hate?
#4. Their campus
We Oregon Staters love a wide open, college-feel for our campus. This is not the case for Pitt. Looks an awful lot like Gotham City doesn't it? Where are the trees? Where are the pretty buildings? Nice smog. Our campus is so much better.
It has no college feel to it. College towns are so much better. Oh you know what else their campus doesn't have? A football stadium. Which brings me to....
#3. They play in an NFL stadium!
A stadium of 65,000, that they only get 50% full. Sure, a lot of fans do the whole "color out" stuff, but nothing quite beats a Pitt Yellow Out! Either there is nobody there, or their fans are disguised as seats. Hmm. And we thought our attendance was bad..
#2. LeSean McCoy
They think he's better then Quizz. Honestly, they do. Now, he does have a QB rating of 108, which is 108 points better then Quizz's. But honestly, they are equals. Both average just under 5 yards a carry. Both are good receivers out of the backfield. Now, McCoy boasts 10 more TDs than Quizz. But 10 of his 21 came against Buffalo (3), Navy (3) and Rutgers (4). He had a whopping 71 yards on 23 carries against Bowling Green, and against Louisville, he rushed 17 times for an insane 39 yards. The guy is good. I'll give him credit; but he doesn't show up every game. Quizz does. And McCoy has yet to face a defense like us (say what you will, 694, yeah blah blah blah). Pitt doesn't run a smoke-and-mirrors offense. They will run him pro-style, and we all know what happens when a team runs a pro-style offense against us: 27-21
And finally, the #1 reason to hate Pitt:
#1. December 26th, 2002. The last time we lost a bowl game.
The #23 ranked Panthers took it to us in the Insight.com Bowl, 38-13. That year, Larry Fitzgerald was doing his best Mike Hass impersonation, catching everything that went to him. They took it right to us though. Steven Jackson had only 34 yards on 19 carries, arguably his worst game as a Beaver. Derek Anderson didn't have a good outing either, completing only 21 of his 45 pass attempts. We rushed for a total of 8 yards that game. This year, it's going to be different. We are going to come out firing. And you better believe we are going to score more then 13 points this time.
Thanks to all the Penn Staters for help in finding reasons to hate Pitt. And thanks to all the readers of Building the Dam. It is much appreciated. Keep coming back during basketball season, as the team is improving, and myself and Jake will be covering every game. GO BEAVS!

As I recall, McCoy, in all likelihood, went to Pitt because his grades were too iffy for Penn State. I enjoy writing that, by the way.

Funny coincidence-
The missus made a bunch of sweets that I brought in to share with co-workers yesterday. I left the tray by the coffee machine with a sign stating ‘Free Candy’ posted over it. I’ll just say this: either I work with a bunch of humorless prudes or you guys are off-the-charts cool. I’m going with the latter.
…and I voted ‘other’, since “I’m a PSU alumnus and it has been decreed that I shall hate sPitt” wasn’t a poll option.

I just KNOW he and Bellotti are kickin it inside, devising schemes, bouncing ideas off each other.
“So, Bill, how about this one: ‘Hey kids, I hurt my back on the job as an astronaut/cowboy/superhero/pilot/decorated war hero and need someone to help me hook up my Nintendo Wii to the TV in my van. Can you guys come inside and help for a second?’ OK—how’s that?”

You forgot a huge reason to hate those “Panthers”, Mark May. This guy is such a homer. He still thinks Larry Fitzgerald should have won the Heisman. Any chance he gets to throw a dig at Penn State and JoePa he does. He is still bitter that Penn State did not offer him a scholarship. I’m sure if you watch ESPN during the Bowl previews he will say how they will crush you because “Shady” McCoy is the best RB in the country, blah blah blah. RB’s that need nicknames (see: Wells, Christopher) are only fooling themselves.

Typically the heisman goes to the best player in college football…so does the Maxwell award. Typical PSU…they just can’t reason things out! Drink the Kool-aid and hope for next year.

I hate Pitt! From a Utah Fan
I hate Pitt because even after the 2005 Fiesta bowl was over and Utah laid down a whooping. Their fans just couldn’t congratulate us. Even after Utah broke a record for sacks in a fiesta bowl (nine). Dominated Pitt on both sides of the ball. And did what the skeptics thought was impossible, reach a #6 ranking in the BCS polls as a non-BCS school (twice now). I recall the Pitt fans said that Utah was a highschool team from a highschool conference. Guess what “highschool” team has been to more BCS games (as of this year), even though they don’t have an automatic berth.
But mostly I hate Pitt because that’s who Utah played in ‘05 rather than a good team! (stupid automatic berth)
I hope the Quizz goes for 300 and the Beavers kill Pitt! You’ll see they’re the worst fans ever!

Being married to
a Pitt grad who has since been PSU converted along with her Pitt degree toting older brother, I will say my only reason to dislike Pitt is their mouthy, hate-mongering, living in the past, can’t get over their mediocrity fans (in-laws excepted thanks to me!!).

All of those bad fan qualities listed can be attributed to so many annoying fan bases… too many to list.
I had no idea about the Pitt/PSU rivalry and was honestly kind’ve surprised. My brother-in-law, a PSU grad, informed me after the bowl projections started predicting this match-up. He flipped me so much crap after we failed to show up in Beaver Stadium—UNTIL the SC game. Now he’s an OSU fanatic and is drooling over this Sun Bowl match up.

Laundry List
I would like to see JacQuizz vs. McCoy head to head, but it looks like it’s Quizz who isn’t showing up for this one..
ReadingRambler
You can continue to enjoy writing that, but realize that just because a jealous blogger rants about a prospect’s grades – that doesn’t make it true. You can fact check here: http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/college/pitt/s_488909.html, instead of at a PSU homer blog.
it’s 3 years after McCoy turned down PSU, you should let it go.
Say what you want about Pitt, Penn Staters – your bias is showing…
PennStateBasketball Pizza?!?! No wonder PSU bball can’t jump. You are Division 1 athletes… have a salad… show some respect for yourself!!
As for Utah - I’m sorry I didn’t personally come to Utah to congratulate you with a handshake. Did you leave the game and run into some ticked-off Pitt fans or something? If you want to make judgements about an entire fan base based on the actions of a few fans we should be talking about how ALL Utah fans love whining that they have never and will never win a national title in D1A. Since the Utes are undefeated again this year, can we expect the same nonsense out of all Utah fans? I’m rooting for Utah in hopes of some more nonsensical Utah delusion.

Reason #7...
Speaking of living in the past…
Ask a sPitt fan how many Mythical National Championships they’ve won. They’ll tell you nine. They even have a nice big banner at each “home” game that shows their “National Championships.”
Reality? Read Dr. Saturday’s post. That’s right, only one since 1937. And that was in 1976.

Sorry, the DeLorean's broken. We'll be playing this game in 2008.
What have you done this year? Seriously?
I mean lately what have you done? What has the Big East done? That conference was rolling a few years ago. Last year’s Cincy game was horrible. No OSU fan will defend that. Louisville was the same.
This year the Big East isn’t where it used to be. Plain and simple.

Please note the above classic sign of a Pitt fan
He posts a video of an Ohio State student being attacked while visiting PSU. Fair enough, but what he fails to mention and/or realize is that it was a PITT student who did the attacking! (as pointed out by 06Lion) This is Pitt at its finest.

the funniest thing about oregon state is that when i saw a link to this on another site with the thread title “osu top 5 reasons to hate pitt” i thought to myself… “Why would ohio state hate pitt?” and now that i think about it, when i hear OSU, the first two schools that come to mind are ohio state and oklahoma state… so you are the third most important OSU, doesnt that feel good?
oh and about the attendance, pitt averaged 49,000 this year, while oregon states field only holds 46,000 or so
you guys are very bitter about the game from a couple of years ago
i mean we can talk about sports programs if you’d like, pitt has the #3 mens basketball team and the #16 womens and the #18 football, Oregon State(i refuse to refer to them as ‘OSU’ because they dont even deserve to be referred to as that) is # 24 in football while not rated in either basketball poll
and on to football: heres a quick question for everyone… which back would you choose?
back a: 5’11, 210 lbs- 1400 yards and 21 touchdowns
back b: 5’6, 180 lbs- 1250 yards and 11 touchdowns

How about Quizz not playing in the final game, or only getting 4 carries against Arizona? So that’s about 2 full games less then McCoy played. I’m pretty sure Quizz would have averaged at least 75 yards in those game to more then cover the 1400. As for the 21 TDs, McCoy got 10 TDs against the powerhouses of Rutgers, Notre Dame, and Navy.
Ok see now you’re going to say what about Quizz playing against Washington and Washington State? Well, he only had 1 those games. But he had 2 against Penn State and 2 against USC. Pretty decent defenses there.

As long as it's not a spread/zone-read offense we should be prepared.
We were able to control systems similar to Pitt’s and even held Jahvid Best, a FAR superior back to McCoy, to a reasonable stat line and win the game.

re: McCoy/Quizz
Living in PGH I honestly have not heard of ’Quizz. I am also not going to call him Queer or a pussy. He has had a nice year though and deserves to be right up there with Shady.
One thing you may not realize about Shady is that he dominates without a QB. Last season the defense knew he was getting the ball every time and they still couldn’t stop him. This year was nearly as bad (worse in a few games) but we are a more balanced team now with a solid D.
Still, the point is that Shady is playing in the Sun Bowl and Quizz is not. He has an infinitely better chance of helping his team win the game. This argument is (supposed to be) about the game, not who is an overall better team (since Pitt and OrSU don’t exactly play each other too much)

Ohmygawd... you Pitt clowns last went to the RB in 1937 and you are bragging on that?
Great, you went to 2 more Rose Bowls than Duke or Mare Island (whoever the fuck that is…) and managed win the same amount as said Mare Island and Columbia. Nothing like ancient history. Let’s put it this way…
Talking shit about anything you were not alive for is suspect, at best.
Talking shit about anything that your parents weren’t alive for is weak beyond belief.
Talking shit about anything prior to the above examples makes you a: Pitt, Army, Navy, Ivy League, or Notre Dame fan.
Way to go, dumbass. Your stereotype ‘Pitt fans only live in the ancient history era they choose’ is well intact. Next we’ll start talking about your basketball program, right? How many championships did they win? Losers…

ill give you 5 reasons to hate pitt
5. Pitt has 87 all americans to your 42
4.Pitt has been to 24 bowl games compared to your 13
3.Pitt is 180 games over .500 all time. Oregon St. is 44 games under.
2.PItt has 9 natinal championships to your whooping…0
1.Pitt will kick your ass this year. Oregon St. without JaQueer “Pussy” Rodgers has nothing. Pitt will exploit you guys big time in the run game. Oregon St. is not very good against the run and Shady will have a field day with a least 150 yds. The Beavers will be lucky to score 2 tds on pitt. I predict this game will be 35-13 in favor of pitt.
…on another never ever take shit from psu fans. We dont even play these guys because of their class less coach who still holds a grudge on us. The fags will lose in their bowl game as well.

"9 National Championships"
Actually, all but four are shared, so, lets not take away from Army and Navy. Also, you want to know something funny? In the south endzone of Heinz Field, they display a banner, saying 9 national championships, then with 9 BCS championship trophies. Funny enough, Pitt doesn’t have a single BCS national championship trophy.

wow, a gay joke. The essence of class. At least we Duck fans have the dignity to make sheep jokes…
Just to clarify, Oregon State is just fine against the run. Look at more games than just the Oregon game and you might actually realize it. Oregon State’s defensive numbers were some of the tops in the conference until they met Oregon and it was just simply a scheme thing. Pitt does not run the spread and doesn’t have a dual threat QB. Who has beaten Oregon State this year? Teams that run the spread with mobile QBs. Oregon State has a very aggressive style of defense that works well against more conventional offensive schemes. I think you underestimate their chances.

This is delusional
So, you want to convince people to hate Pitt. (Which is hilarious because half of the comments I’ve read on here condone Pitt fans for hate mongering. Hypocritical?) And you do so with a list like this? It’s irresponsible and irrational. You hate Pitt because we play in an NFL stadium? You hate Pitt because our campus is in a city that once was known for it’s smog and horrible atmosphere? You hate Pitt because McCoy may or may not be a better running back than your running back? Sound like perfectly good reasons to hate a school 4000 miles away to me! You based your opinion on a Penn State fan whos hobby is running around Pitt message boards and other blogs provoking fights and spreading lies about Pitt. (McCoy couldn’t get into Penn State? Please. Pitt is just as good of an acedemic school as Penn State, if not better.) That’s very much like asking an Oregon fan (or whoever your biggest rival is. assuming you have one) to give me the real inside scoop on Oregon State fans. The only thing you should hate Pitt for is handing OSU their lunch the last time they played. So to recap. You’re list is innacurate and your source of hatred stems from a douchebag with a PennState blog. Just to avoid being a hypocrite, I won’t base my hatred for OSU on a douchebag with a blog, but you’re making it reallly tough.

So that’s a perfectly good reason to hate Pitt then? God, this post and these comments are like the perfect storm of Penn State hate mongering and Pac10 misplaced eliteism.
OSU fan: We hate Pitt!!! Pitt sucks!!!!!
logical fan: why?
OSU fan: Because some guy insulted me on the internet. And some other guy told me they really do suck!!!
logical fan: So you’ve never met a Pitt fan have you?
OSU fan: No, but their running back is good and I’ve never been to Pittsburgh, but USA today told me that’ their air quality isn’t good and their coach has a mustache. Don’t you see why they suck?
logical fan: no.
And, real quick…. doesn’t it say on the sign up form for your blog to treat others with respect in the comments. It says something like “Don’t write something that you wouldn’t say to their face if they were standing in front of you” So, I’m to believe you would call our coach a child molestor to his face?

Makes No Sense
Pitt fans are some of the most arrogant that I have come across yet. Granted, it’s the internet idiots that I encountered[…]
So there are a few Pitt fan morons on the internet. Duh. I am 100% positive there are jerks on the internet that are OSU fans or PSU fans. That is no reason to hate a school.
[…]but PSU fans have assured me that it is the same across the board. So, given all this, I have decided to write 5 reasons to hate Pitt
Oh, so to confirm, you ask a fan base of a local hated rival (well, kinda..). Like someone else said, if I ran into some OSU idiot fans somewhere on ESPN.com and asked Oregon fans to “confirm that they suck” I am sure they would.
Maybe if you want to know about Pitt fans on the internet you should try looking at a PITT BLOG. Sure there is not one on SBN but try searching Google for “pitt blog.” You’ll find www.pittblather.com which is an excellent, popular, well-written, and certainly not arrogant site.
As for the new PSU-OrSU alliance that seems to have formed, I’m shocked that you want to side with a team that smoked you earlier in the year rather than one that you are about to play, who you are naturally inclined to root against.
This is an Oregon State blog, not a place to argue about whether or not PITT is better than PSU. It just makes me mad to read this nonsensical hating on Pitt because of a few morons with a keyboard (some of whom are on this thread)

It’s amazing to me how bitter you state fans (Penn and Oregon) are. Saying things like Fitzgerald didn’t deserve the Heisman? Ridiculous. Jason White did? I’m pretty sure anybody that goes to Pitt could have gone to some country school with nothing to offer other than a nice campus but we chose to come to a university with better academics and teams that are now competitive in both sports (How are those PSU and OSU bball teams doing? Not #3 I don’t think) And as for the Utah fans still chiming in…it’s funny to me that your still looking for congratulations from Pitt fans. Just take the win and be happy. The only thing that will make you happy is playing for a national title which isn’t going to happen. Get over it. Finally, I love how most of the people bashing Pitt on this blog are PSU fans who claim to not care about Pitt. OSU fans, don’t be fooled they’ll pretend like they don’t care about Pitt but then they show their true colors in forums like these. I guess they will never get over the 12-0 defeat….Well until JoePa croaks and we can play again.

It all comes out in the dirty wash, so on Dec. 31 we’ll see who wins.
I never minded Ore. St., they never bothered a soul, just like Iowa State or Temple or Arizona. I still have no reason to hate Ore. St., but I have zero respect for them because this blog’s author HIMSELF enlisted ‘help’ from Pitt’s former rival… That is so sad. It’s funny to me, because a public blog is very easy to percieve as the sentiments of an entire fanbase – a few people comment to refute your idiotic reasons to hate Pitt… so you run to the arms of the team that whooped you the worst this year?
