Pitt State @ NWMO

[GorillaTeacher]

I dreamt about this game last night. Wasn’t good for the Gorillas. I have never dreamt about a football game before, and am not superstitious, but will be if this game ends up as a 35-34 loss for Pitt.

Sustained winds 17-19 mph and gusts up to 34-36 mph…good day to wind surf at Mozingo…not so good for punts, FG, XP, KO & deep passes

Weird week. The TeamKong website is down so some of us can't get fired up over there and then come over here full of piss and vinegar.

Two spoiled ir formerly spoiled fan bases. One fane base has a team that is currently 3rd in the regional rankings but other than brief spurts does not pass the eye test. The other fan base is to the po8nt of silently cheering or maybe even cheering outloud for a loss so they can more than likely move on from their coach.

The teams themselves are a mixed bag. One with a rookie HC and OC who reversed nepotismed his dad as Oline coach. Tje team looked like world beaters in the first game with a convincing win at home vs the team currently 1st in RR. Since then we have lost 2 gsmes both at hime which is very Tom Beckish. The other team has an OC who until game 4 or so was afraid of throwing the ball farrher thsn 5 yards downfield so he relied on an underachieving running game. The NW has improved buth with Brett Favrr I mean Ruhnke back there you are going to get some insanely unbelievable plays and also some What The Bleeps. Both defenses are solid. NW D line is getting after the QB and our Oline has 2 different blocking techniques the "Ole" and the "Look Out" the NW dbacks are good not spectacular. Opposite for Pitt. Other than Berry we have no rush even when we rush 13. Our zone is stupidly soft in the middle but we are usually pretty solid in man D. Our punter is a mixed bag. Player of the week one week and almost a sequel to the ShawSHANK movie the next. Due to injuries we've had to use 3 tickets. Not sure how that happens but we are 3 kickers in for field goals. Our kickoff guy is now are field goal guy. On kickoff kicking 65 yards isn't a problem. Kicking 35 with accuracy while being rushed has proved problematic.

10 years ago this game would have ended 3-3 tie due to darkness, or had to have been moved to the Spoofhounds field since they have lights. Instead Pitt wins 5-3 after a snap at the Pitt State 40 sails over Ruhnkes head and is kicked picked up fumbled picked up backwards pass, lateraled twice and finally an o lineman is tackled in the end zone for a safety.

the fate of rw should already be decided one way or the other. you either see the decline since 2017 & think it's time to move on or you are looking at other issues (whatever they are) optimistically in terms of this regime moving forward in spite of that decline.

hopefully we win but the outcome of the game isn't going to change any of that^ materially.

if a person is swayed back & forth game to game at this point relative to that issue that person doesn't know what they're doing.

Congrats to Pitt on the shutout and good luck in the PO’s. At least there weren’t a lot of NW fans(and almost no students) to witness it

the NW band is smaller that before(just like the crowds)

I would like to congratulate NW for thinking outside the box. Early 2nd quarter Pitt with all the momentum, NW unplugs the scoreboard and Catvision. BRILLIANT!

Worried about Dodson coming back. If he can't how does that affect Pitt? I'm having flashbacks to Race getting knocked out vs Valdosta State

Dodson hasn't run the ball all season. WTF call a QB keeper and risk his health and maybe Pitt's playoff chances. How many snaps has out backup QB'S taken all season?

Listened to most of the first half on my way home from my Brother's house got home to watch the hit on Dodson and the last score.
Looks and sounds like Pitt decided to show up and look like a playoff team after all.

Niggeman is a special player, and part of me says teach him to throw at a d2 level and build an offense around him. On the other hand, you gotta love watching a guy take the snap, run it in and line up to block for the extra point.

Either way, Pitt fans may get to see someone besides Dodson under center in the second half his head slapped the ground. I'll be surprised he isn't concussed.

Probably didn't pay the electric bill.

They said he is okay, just holding him just in case.
