(Some excerpts taken from Paul Ziese's column...

When Pitt beat barely beat Iowa, we were told over and over by many of the fans of that agricultural university in the center part of the state that it was meaningless because – and I can only quote the things I have seen, who by the way claim they no longer care about Pitt, yet sure seem to spend a lot of time trying to discredit everything the Panthers do – Iowa, you see, is a “mediocre, at best, Big Ten team ” or one of my favorites...“Iowa is a team which will struggle to win one game in the Big Ten, they might beat Indiana."

Quick Question: If Iowa is a mediocre Big Ten team (which this year is sort of like stating the obvious since all 11 of them are mediocre or worse) not worthy of consideration and not worthy of being considered a quality win – what does that make Penn State now that, you know, Iowa beat Penn State?

...And furthermore, using the same "logic" or equation used by the more delusional of the 100,000 fans hailing from large metropolitan areas like, oh I don’t know, Bald Eagle, Tyrone, Bellefonte, or Lilly – if the logical equation of “Penn State > Oregon State and Oregon State > USC therefore Penn State > USC” applies, does that mean by extension the equation “Pitt > Iowa and Iowa > Penn State therefore Pitt > Penn State” also applies?

I LOVE this FUZZY MATH!!!!

C'mon now Nitters, let's hear it!!

Those rules won't apply anymore.

as i recall the only people on here that were using that "math" were being sarcastic about it.

Pitt is better than Penn State, it is quite obvious

Alright, Pitt is ovbiously the better team with the better record and obviously would destroy PSU by at least 30 points head to head. I agree 110%.

PSU would beat Pitt. It would be a decent game, though. The rivalry would play a part and Clark's inability to throw it deep would stop PSU from scoring 50. Derrick Williams would be the difference. That kid will be very good on Sundays.

Using Nitter logic, Pitt would win by a TD...IF the teams really played, it would be a close, hard fought game...

Oh no WPIAL, it would be a blowout win for Pitt. Pitt is just a complete team that always plays well on a national stage.
