You may very well be correct on this but of course I’m not an important enough butterfly to affect anything.
Rooting for Pitt or Virginia Tech on Friday night?

Going with VT and Franklin, and didn't give it second thought.
Franklin's squad was down 14-6 after giving up a TD in the 4th quarter of their last game ... against BC (not a great team, but Kraft's old stomping grounds), in horrible weather - a Nor'easter. They came back to score 2 TDs, including converting a 2-point conversion to tie it, and won that game. Must have been a good feeling for James to come from behind in the 4th. I bet O'Brien and Franklin shared a beer and commiserated about the PSU "fans" after that game.
Will add VT is just a TDY for JF; might be eyeing that USC job if/when it opens….
Both fanbases were naturally cheering our loss to Wisconsin. VT fans have a sick obsession with PSU and seemingly are assuming our wins from the Franklin years. If social media and message forums did not exist, I would be rooting for VT. Knowing the mentality of the VT fans with Franklin there, I may have Pitt as a slight favorite.
This can’t be a serious question. I never root for Pitt.
You continue to think that your asinine ad hominem attacks make your posts and claims somehow credible.
Pitt has always been inconsequential to me. Western PA is really just eastern OH, and completely irrelevant to PA. I don't root against them, because I don't think about them. I still like Franklin and will root for him as long as his interests don't directly conflict with those of Penn State (just like with O'Brien), so go Hokies. All the Mean Girl Franklin-haters and Paterno State fans are worse than Pitt fans on their best/worst anti-PSU days.
Agree with that assessment, but don't care now that he's gone how he does one way or the other.
+1. Texas is now my number one hate, loathe and detest team. I think Sark is a dirt bag and Simmons is not far behind, Manning, is overrated.
As a western PA buy, myself, I hate all things associated with Pitt and Duzz is an *******..
I was raised through our hate of each other in the 70's and 80's, you know back when that rivalry actually meant something.
+1. the jilted lover syndrome this fan base has is pretty pathetic.
I mean its not like the guy was Lane Kiffen.
He closed out the BC game pretty good. I like that VT RB, TE and Oh yeah that QB.It will be interesting to see if Franklin’s inability to close out games will follow him to Blacksburg. Who knows?
Also, full disclosure: Franklin and I both graduated Neshaminy HS. How this factors into my feelings about Franklin I have no idea, so don’t ask.
I thought the VT RB was better than our group.
Their RB is far better than ours.He closed out the BC game pretty good. I like that VT RB, TE and Oh yeah that QB.

Unfortunately for you, they are. You ducked the question about what glasses you're wearing.
Well?
What the hell are you talking about. Go back to calling any one and everyone you disagree with or dislike names. That’s all you have.
You clown, you told me to take off my Blue and White glasses. If it isn't too much trouble for your encephalitic brain, what color glasses do you wear recto?
They each have to stand on their own. Even if VT doesn't go 10-2, HCMC has an uphill battle recruiting in the DMV with no prvious relationships like CJF has already built.
Goodness gracious.
Another headline LMTLION has found:
"John Hinckley Jr. asks Jodie Foster why she keeps following him around."
if I watch this (and I might) it will be the first college game this year
Uggh, my blood is boiling again seeing the slobberfest over Franklin and all the players and recruits he took with him. Go Pitt!
Grunk has looked pretty good - 13 of 17, 159 yards and a TD with 13 minutes still to go in 1st Half.
I never thought I’d say this, but I’m rooting for Pitt. My daughter is a UVA grad, and the VT fans are insufferable.
