Pitt Wins Nat. Title / Are You Serious?

First off, let me say that I only hate Pitt because Pitt's success hurts Penn State. I don't care about Pitt, personally, and more or less than I care about San Jose State or New Hampshire. I have an enormous amount of respect for Hilltop, Titan, vman, and especially Moldo. You guys deserve to have your team win games.
Secondly, as a college football fan first and a Penn State fan second, I can acknowledge success. Dave Wannstedt has 14 commits from Pennsylvania, many of them highly touted. Yesterday, they nailed that Holley kid from Easton, 4 star CB. It is disgusting, as a Penn State fan, and it really makes me sick. But this recruiting class for Pitt is ridiculous. They really, really did an awesome job recruiting PA this year, and it just goes to show how nice of a guy Wanny really is, even though i don't think super highly of him as a coach. The fact remains, dudes, that Pitt did a great job recruiting, especially for a team who wasn't even bowl eligible in a system where 1/2 the teams in the whole league are bowl eligible.
Pitt capitalized on Penn State's incompetence, again, for atleast the second straight year. It is disgusting to watch this. There should never come a time when one of the top LB's in the US is from PA and doesn't even have PSU in consideration. There should NEVER be a time when any player from Altoona slips from Penn State because of PSU's blatant incompetentce.
How do you sit by idly and watch this go down? How does the PSU staff let Pitt grab these kids?
Rich Rod leaves for Michigan, Petrino left UL and Kragthorphe's worth is being questioned, so is Pitt seriously going to win that conference? How are they not the favorites? I can't find Pitt's 2008 schedule online, but I can't imagine they don't have a shot at going 10-2 or better. There's no reason they should lose to WVU for the next few years, or Louisville.
Another reason why Pitt should play in a BCS game is because Paul Rhoads is gone. That is definitely going to help Pitt. Is Auburn serious? Did theys eriously just replace Will Muschamp with Paul Rhoads, who had 1 decent defensive performance in like 5 years? Way to step up, Auburn.
The times are a-changin' in PA, folks, at least until Paterno gets his geriatric carcass out of Happy Valley.
