You're saying Pitt won that game because they had blatantly superior talent relative to West Virginia? |

What, you'd explain it as being the superior coaching of Dave Wannstedt?

Believe it or not, Quebec actually hooks us up once every ten years or so. Tshimanga Biakabutuka was from Quebec

Hey man, I agree with what you're saying. Same old same old with these teams. But I look at the scUM offensive roster and could see them struggling, not that MSU defense is all world I just feel like sparty may be exacting a little revenge this upcoming season, that's all.
|
This is their season to do it, if any. Hoyer doesn't frighten me either, but he's a senior and that's always worth something. I always expect to beat MSU, just by varying degrees - then again, it seems like they only win when everyone least expects it.

Smokin a blunt a little late at night? No way in hell is RR a top 10 coach.

And this year scUM doesn't get the benefit of having a senior quarterback, senior tailback who rarely fumbles, gamebreaker at WR, and the best OL to come out in a long while.

No, sometimes the better team just has a poor game and/or the lesser team plays a great game. Illinois beat OSU, as just one example out of many. It wasn't because of superior talent or superior coaching, they just played better that day. It happens.
Unless you're speaking tongue-in-cheek and I'm totally missing it. |
