Wow, not much you can say about the colossal El Foldo that the Pitt Panthers showed the world this afternoon. THIS is what you do in a game that means everything in a tremendously disappointing season, and against a traditional rival? I have always liked Dave Wannstadt since he took the head coach job at Pitt, but it gets harder and harder to defend him in light of what has transpired this season. I feel bad for the guy.
I don't like to be overly critical of college athletes, especially one with roots at St. Phil's and Central Catholic, but Tino Sunseri does not appear to have the goods to be an elite, or even a very good college QB. Yes, I know he's only a sophomore, but has there been any significant improvement in his play from the Utah game in September until this afternoon?
Now it will be interesting to see how this coaching staff gets this team to respond against Cincinnati next week after what has to be this thoroughly disappointing loss against West Virginia, not to mention in whatever third tier bowl game they end up playing.
Finally, a word on the uniforms that the teams wore today. This was yet another example of the athletic departments of our universities whoring themselves out to Nike. I thought those uniforms - on both teams - were pretty bad, although I did kind of like Pitt's helmets. I hope that nobody spends a dime to buy one of these gimmicky game jerseys.
