No Pitt discussion? Imagine that.

Kickoff in 1 hr. No thoughts?

I believe I took UNC in my bowl picks but I think Pitt wins this game. They'll stop UNC on O and eventually wear that defense down. That's my call.

Line of scrimmage will be a real battle. I think Pitt's O-line is very good, they have an incredible RB, and if they can get any push it will be a long day for the Heels.

On the other hand, if UNC can dictate the Pitt playcalling, force Stull to throw more than he'd like, it will get very interesting.

Bynum could be a big factor today. That kid doesn't get the ball enough.

Moldo,

This was by far the worst fantasy football year I have ever had overall. My team ended up being complete garbage in all 3 leagues.

I felt like a Big East team trying to play a Big Ten schedule!!!! :D

Who would go to the game and miss out after Christmas clearances at the Monroeville Mall?

I'm not usually one to defend Pitt, but keep in mind that this game was played in NORTH CAROLINA. You've gotta place the majority of the attendance woes on UNC for this one. If none of their face drove an hour to the game, what's that say about UNC?

I was at the game. I don't know what the attendance was but I'm guessing no more than 45,000 of which it was about 2/3 Carolina to 1/3 Pitt. Pitt actually had more fans there than I thought they would considering all the talk back when bids were going out about the Car Care People bypassing Pitt if they couldn't guarantee X number (forget the figure) of tickets. Carolina crowd, which I thought would be huge, was disappointing.

On another note....Pitt could legitimately be a Top Ten team next year if they can survive an early season trip to Utah and visit from Miami prior to the Big East schedule. They should be the favorites in the BE.
