The University of Pittsburgh Panthers
Countdown: Backyard Brawl
Just 10 days left until the Backyard Brawl with WVU. Mark your calendars: November 27, 2009 – 7:00 PM.
This is just a reminder to Pitt fans that tickets are available through the Panthers Ticket Office at $50 per seat. Don’t miss out on a great game in a great season for Pitt. For those fans that absolutely can’t make it to Morgantown, the game will be televised on ESPN2.
This will be the 102nd annual Backyard Brawl. Pitt leads the series 61-37-3, and is on a two game winning streak in the Brawl. The Panthers will look to make it 3 straight on “Black Friday” this year.
Pitt upset #2 WVU by a score of 13-9 in 2007, the last time the Panthers were in that pile of dung that they call Morgantown, WV.

So yesterday the quarterfinal round turned out to be a day of upsets in the Big East. Top seed Syracuse lost to Georgetown, Villanova lost to Marquette, and Pitt lost to Notre Dame. WVU was the only top seed team to win yesterday with their buzzer-beater win over Cincinnati. Pitt’s game against Notre Dame was [...]

We are less then 24 hours away from the first bowl game of the college bowl season. I’m not calling it the Capital One Bowl Week, because A. we are not sponsored through Capitol One and B. a week is 7 days, not 20 days. So we will be discussing it as the College Bowl [...]

There’s no doubt in any Pitt fan’s mind that Friday’s game was a bit of a disappointment. Losing in the Backyard Brawl is always a blow to any Pitt fan. But the Panthers can’t afford to dwell on the past right now. With what is probably their biggest game since 2004 coming up this Saturday, [...]

Well the 102nd edition of the Backyard Brawl is in the books. Unfortunately, it’s not going in the way Panthers fans would have liked. WVU upset our Panthers 19-16 in Morgantown Friday night. It was a close game, as the Backyard Brawl tends to be, with the Mountaineers kicking a field goal with no time [...]

In just two days, Pitt travels to Morgantown for the 102nd edition of the Backyard Brawl. Pitt leads the series 61-37-3 and has won the last two. You might remember one of the more famous meetings between these two as the 2007 Brawl. That year, WVU was ranked 2nd in the nation and only had [...]

With our #8 ranked Panthers in their second bye week of the season, there’s no Pitt football game to get hyped up about this weekend. The Men’s Basketball team doesn’t play again until Monday.

So my guess is that there are a lot of upset Pitt fans this Monday morning. The BCS Rankings came out yesterday and, even with all of the upsets this weekend, Pitt only moved up one spot to 12th. The Panthers did, however, move up a bit more in the AP Poll and ESPN/USA Today [...]

After the ESPN/USA Today Coach’s Poll was released yesterday leaving Pitt off the list, the AP Preseason Poll was released today. Unfortunately for Panther fans, Pitt is unranked in the AP Preseason Poll as well. Pitt received only 4 votes and was listed by ESPN in the “Others Receiving Votes” category. That unofficially puts the [...]
