It's quite obvious, that Pitt is Greg Amodio's Daddy! Pitt is pulling all the strings on the Amodio puppet, and will hold out until Pitt is guarnteed at least 60-65% of the gate and concessions before they sign a deal to play at CEC. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Always a Duke 's message, "To PLAY AT the CONSOL or NOT to PLAY at the CONSOL. That is the question. While this issue is near and dear to us as Duquesne fans, it's disappointing that the announcement of the historic first college game at the CEC between the Dukes and Pitt has yet to be made without any or practically unnoticeable attention in the media. As I recall, the media lobbied to a degree to make the "City Game" the last college game played at the Mellon (now Civic [as I believe God intended it to be named]) Arena prior to Duquesne's official announcement on September 1, 2009, ...

It's their home game , I would have no issue with giving them 65% of the revenue or more. 20-30% of something on a neutral court is better than 0% of nothing in Oakland. We need the exposure and the atmosphere much more than a higher share of revenue. (NT) -- DuHope, Tuesday, August 03, 09:49:41am
That is a bit harsh. I do think that Pitt did a good job of pressuring DU to give ups its home game last year, with the "do the right thing" approach. Regrettably, there appears to be no pressure on Pitt to do the right thing this year. I also do not think this is about money. I do not think Pitt wants to share the spotlight with DU on the first game played at the new arena. (NT) -- CLK, Tuesday, August 03, 10:34:30am
- You're way too sensitive. Pitt doesn't spend much time thinking about Duquesne. (NT) -- Jason2012, Tuesday, August 03, 02:09:07pm
  - Just enough to keep Dukes from getting any spotlight. What's under YOUR arm ? (NT) -- Somerset24, Tuesday, August 03, 03:09:51pm
    - Why, do you have an armpit fetish? The Dukes will get a spotlight when there is something to shine on. (NT) -- Jason2012, Tuesday, August 03, 06:45:01pm
      - Tell him, Jason! -- El Duque, Tuesday, August 03, 08:50:32pm
        And sir, do you have a $#!+ fetish? Class, thy name is Duquesne. (NT) -- Jason2012, Tuesday, August 03, 10:42:21pm
        Schizophrenia, thy name is Pitt... for there's no way you aren't PghPete as well as Jason2012. (NT) -- MFE08, Wednesday, August 04, 09:31:17am
        I ain't here on "business" baby; I'm only here for fun. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, August 04, 12:27:13pm
