I nominate this for the most brainless statement of the decade on this forum. Just don't play anybody and punish 'em all!
punish a rival by not playing them

Good Lord you are thick. Pitt plays in the ACC....where, much to the frustration of the mental midgets like you on this forum, Clemson is a member.
Not everyone is your rival.
Pitt is on its last breath.
Penn State has knocked them down and jumped all over their head.
Why should WV let them back up and give them a home game that will mean 60+K in their stadium.
It is not like it was before when Pitt was considered to be a historic program.
Today when people think of Pitt they think of empty stadiums and an average team or they don't think of them.
Much different than in the 1990's when a program like Ohio St considered Pitt a worthy adversary.
Because the fans enjoy it.
Some of us just enjoy it for what it is and don't view it as geopolitical warfare.
93.7 talks frequently about the rivalry. Most of the bobbleheads there are very much for the game every year. They would also love to play PSU every year but know it isn't in the cards. Many of the reasons given for the shPitt / WVU game is that it's good media for a few weeks. WVU also brings about 30k to ketchup field to fill it up. Other than ND and PSU and possibly Clemson there isn't the draw to even get over 40k on the north side. We think our students are pretty bad getting to the games. shPitt is way worse. They can't give tickets away.Was on 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh that they talked about the rivalry and series going past the 4 yrs. I was in and out of my car so maybe the topic evolved to what I heard. With that said you think WVU officials don’t want Pitt on schedule long term? I’m thinking they do.
Fans enjoy something they are attached to.
Either they went to the university or they are from the state.
Football is a form of war.
Didn't you hear Larry Fedora's explanation on why people love football and why taking the toughness out of football will hurt our civilization.
Fedora isn't out of the norm with this belief.
He learned this coming up through the Texas HS system.
This belief isn't just inclusive to Texas as a lot of the states surrounding Texas see football in the same light.
The passion of the sport is because people see it as warfare.

You think WV fans are that stupid or insecure.
Just like you care for both Pitt and WV...
I'd rather play PSU than Pitt any day of the week and 50 times on Sunday.
When I was a student Virginia Tech was a bigger rival. That was way hotter than Pitt.
Not really. One of my best friends lives there and he has his last chemo session next week. If he is up for it, I was planning on taking him to the Baylor game.
Fake News LOL. You literally are lying to yourself haha. Big game sure. LOL at hotter ticket. You guys are adorable sometimes.
It was Virginia Tech and not even close. That was the biggest game.
And how would you know?
You didnt go to WVU.
And how would you know?
You didnt go to WVU.
Ouch! So painful.
He attended Pitt and WVU at the same time
Since he loves both universities.
Sounds like Penn St has more repsect for WVU than Pitt....
Dude I grew up with WVU. Dude I’ve been to more game than you and supported WVU way more then you if I play the odds. You can’t tell me anything about WVU history.
Of course Penn state is way to good and big time for WVU. Token two game set over 10-20 year period. Cool! Enjoy!
too*
I thought you attended Pitt.
You make the same mistake every time.
Oh I definitely can...for example, I can tell you what it is like being an actual student there.
Virginia Tech was the game the students were most excited about. Pitt was a big deal but Virginia Tech was what the students always got hyped for when I was there.
That doesn’t make you an expert in WVU history. If you think Pitt/WVU is lower down the food chain than WVU/VaTech you are on the wrong side of history. I respect if you like a Tech game better than a Pitt game but don’t try to create Fake News about the rest of WVU fan base. Congrats on going to a great school but you can’t speak for decades of fanbase. I didn’t attend WVU but I’ve spent a lot of time in Morgantown. I know what the Pitt/WVU Rivalry represents.
What I said was, when I was a student at WVU, Virginia Tech was bigger, and it was.
You wouldnt know this stuff, you have only visited.
As someone who attended Pitt, you really wouldnt understand any of this stuff.
I don't think Pitt is holding up its end of the rivarly.
At one time Pitt was a great football program but things have changed and Pitt is a shell of its former self.
That is why you are on here promoting Pitt to play WV every year.
Your team needs the energy.
Pitt is on life support.
Playing WV could give them the jump they need to established some forward momentum.

No.
You love me more than Virginia Tech.
Weirdo Texass at it again haha.
GFY
So what makes you?That doesn’t make you an expert in WVU history.
So what makes you?
Hilarious you are telling a WVU grad who the hottest rival was during his time at Morgantown.
GFY.....
