Pitt and Penn State haven’t played since 2019, and there aren’t any plans to resume the series any time soon, but that doesn’t mean the Nittany Lions fans have stopped thinking about the Panthers — as much as some may say otherwise.
College GameDay is in State College, Pa. for No. 3 Penn State vs. No. 4 Ohio State, and when Pitt was mentioned, the majority Penn State crowd didn’t like it.
After analyst Desmond Howard said, “I want to see Pitt,” regarding the College Football Playoff picture, the crowd booed loudly before starting an “Eat S*** Pitt” chant.
Pitt and Penn State have played over 80 times, and Pat Narduzzi has expressed his desire to renew the series multiple times.
“Great to have that rivalry back,” Narduzzi said at ACC media days in July. “We embrace rivalries. We embrace rivalries. We’d love to play Penn State if they would play us. If they won’t play us, we’d love to play West Virginia as many times as we could play them. They’re coming back to Pittsburgh.
“Our kids couldn’t be more excited. They have an idea after two years what a real rivalry game is. I think you need to lose a rivalry game to understand what it means to you. These guys might be able to talk about that a little bit.”
Pitt and Penn State are both undefeated for the first time in a long time, and with two ranked matchups this week, their resumes will be interesting to review Sunday morning.
That’s what a school built on the foundation of rape does.
Penn State is full of low-IQ mouth breathers.
Put up or shut up. H2P.
Penn State is opening a new practice facility on Epstein Island.
They should have been focused on Ohio State. Franklin can’t beat top competition.
Da da da da… da da….. PENN STATE SUCKS!!!!
This used to part of the PITT VICTORY till the cancel culture WOKE , liberal administration ended the fun… PSUXXXXXX
Penn State Nittany Chokers! 😂
They’re so overhyped! Nice play calls down at the goal line Franklin. 😂
Too funny!
Well that came back to haunt them. Can’t get off the schneid against Ohio State
Never Forget that: JOE KNEW
What Eats S*** is State Pens inability to get 3 yards in 4 tries and lose for the 99th time in 100 to Ohio State, at home. State Pen would lose to Michigan again, too, but they’re not on your schedule. Your HC and OC are a joke. Enjoy the holidays at the Who Cares bowl wherever that is. hahahahaha
Note to Joey Porter Jr.: perennial 3rd place in the B1G does not make one “King of the North”
