Is it possible???

By the way, why in the world did PSU schedule NJIT for a home contest this year? The New Jersey Institute of Technology is currently riding a 35 game losing streak, the longest losing streak in college basketball. Where did Eddie dig them up?

Maybe their coach is a PSU assistant and we are "doing them a courtesy".

Isn't it funny how Pitt is allowed to "extend a courtesy" to IUP but when penn State plays Temple, who are all PSU alums, that's terrible scheduling.

I'll give you Pitters one thing, IUP is a step up from GANNON.

I can't believe you wouldn't have knowledge of this!!! Wow...stop the presses!

I was only stating a fact that IUP's coach was an asst. at Pitt and Pitt did indeed schedule in part because of their relationship with him. Again I can't believe Mr. Message Board didn't know this.

Call it what you want..courtesy or bad scheduling. Defintely not a good O.O.C team to schedule on Pitt's part. I will admit that. Never denied it.

And yes I am sure PSU did a courtesy to Temple as well with all their alum on the football staff. What's the big deal?

[The Ancient Enemy]

There's no big deal, it's just hypocrisy that the Pitt fans defend this IUP crap and complain about PSU and Temple.

Wait, PSU has a basketball team? I thought they dropped that when the one Crispin transferred?

[El-Moldo]

Pitt has 31 basketball games. ONE of them is a crime. PSU plays 12 football games. Playing Temple is a crime. BIG difference. Plus the Temple game is an ongoing series with a few breaks here and there. Pitt-IUP was a one shot deal. When you consistantly schedule the same team over and over, a team you slaughter annually, there is a problem.

[The Ancient Enemy]

Well, Penn State used to play gimme games all the time with Pitt, so what's the difference?

[abpk2903]

How is playing Temple such a crime in football? Considering the fact that over the last 4 seasons they may have been the second best team in the state.

Very good point. One thing is for sure, of Pitt and Temple, at least Temple has beaten a MAC school in the past 5 years. If Pitt was in the MAC they'd go 3-9. Hey, we can only go by history.
