I am not gonna say that the Big East is the dominant conference obviously, but let me just say you will get not even the slightest rip from me on UCONN or their conference. I really don't want to be playing them up in Storrs next year, it will not be an easy one.

I don't know if you guys remember from when we played them in 2000 but Pitt fans are Hawk fans multiplied by 10. A real bunch of mouth breathers.

Except they had about 10 fans at the bowl. Besides at the game, I don't think i saw one pitt fan the whole week.

There is nothing to this. Their latest insider reports don't even mention CPR at all. Their top candidates are the OSU O-C and, surprisingly, Jay Norvell.

If CPR takes this job, or if we even find out it was officially offered I will personally do naked snow angels in my back yard and post the video here.

Please tell me you are a foxy young lady.

Their behavior on the boards was abhorrent. Is that a word?

Face down of course!

I am hoping Edsall is the key to UConn's success and he gets hired at Miami.

I am neither foxy nor a lady. But I've got a nice set of boobs.

I'm not sure which is funnier- the Pitt fans that think they are competing for Miami and Florida level coaches, or the posters here who are bringing up the same old (but true) arguments about Rhoads' family being here, money being the same, etc. like this rumor even merits a serious argument.

**JUKEBOX** · 12-11-2010, 10:41 PM

Why would he go to Pitt?
Family advantage: ISU
Money: Same
Fan Support: ISU

I just hope CPR doesn't make the same mistakes other coaches have made with success ie Rich Rod, Howard Schnellenberger, etc.

I agree, but I think it's just that some people here are a little nervous. Not meltdown nervous, just a bit apprehensive.

If ISU can't keep CPR, they will never keep a good coach around.

Umm, I think you might have to do this, not this year, but I bet in a year or two if he wins 7 or 8 games next year. Someone will offer more than he can refuse.
