Pitt seems like the no brainer answer except that they are more of a peer in terms of recruiting than penn state.

Hmm...touting "Birthplace of College Football" suggests playing in a pro stadium is a terrible idea. But the original question need not be asked

The difference for me between the two games is that I hated Notre Dame long before Harbaugh got to Michigan, and I will hate Notre Dame long after he leaves. So I root for Michigan.
In this case, my hatred for Penn State doesn't have nearly that kind of history. But it's intense, wholesome and pure. So I root for Pittsburgh.

Recruits will come here because we win not because of the outcome of this game. Hail to Pitt. PSU can't lose enough for my liking. Hate that place.

it's clear you don't get it as it's clear you don't get it as many of our fans do not get it. You do not want a strong pit team. Then again you're right it doesn't matter because we suck and will continue to suck

1) The only recruits this game will influence are the ones who are considering PSU and Pitt. They can go to PSU and wait their turn or choose Pitt with a chance to play right away.
2) we do not suck, you believe that, I don't
3). RU will recruit based on what RU has to offer. Basing your recruiting strategy on other schools failure is a dumb strategy. If you believe players will come here only because their other choices aren't doing well than why are you a fan of this school. I want kids to come here because of what we are not because of what Pitt isn't. Go root for someone else.

We all hate ped st, till our kids decide to go to college there. But make no mistake about it, Penn State is going to get recruits we do not need another competitor in the region.

Hail to Pitt !

Where’s our Pitt Panther friend ?

I'm here.

I believe the ods have narrowed to PSU being a 7.5 pt favorite.

I actually believe Pitt will not only cover but win the game outright. Narduzzi's 4th year.

Pitt's O has 8 starting seniors and a very talented QB coupled with a D that returns 9.

Lock the gates.

HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Will be watching the Rutgers/Ohio State game and hope that Sit can keep it close.:smiley:

Unless kids are paying for it, you parents can tell them to look at other schools.
Yes, if they have the grades to get into the main campus as an out of state freshman, than they pretty much have the grades to get into most schools outside of the Ivies and a few other highly selective schools. Again, talking about University Park, not the satellite campuses. Therefore, there are plenty of other alternatives for your kids, I don't see it as an unreasonable condition for parental funding.

Look if lose a recruit because he dreams of playing in front of tens of thousands of empty mustard seats so be it. If a recruit dreams of Rapey Valley they should be neutered before they start elevating their sex crimes.

PSU,

2 reasons,
#1 big 10 strength of schedule
#2 RU competes more with Pitt for mutual recruits at this point.

Narduzzi has been Horrible recruiting locally, I really hope Rutgers starts going to Western Pa more and taking advantage.

For some reason I have a feeling that the $31 Million contract Saquon Barkley signed speaks louder than your personal feelings...

Make all the jokes you want about Sandusky and such, at this point is isn't making a lick of difference to recruits. In the last 2 years Rutgers has landed 0 mutual recruits with a PSU offer.... But hey, at least there's this message board you can come to make jokes... that makes it all better
