• This was expected to be the worst season for the pirates, they had no one to start the season other than Cutch. Now at least, they have Cutch, Tabata, Walker and Alvarez. Maybe 2-3 decent pitchers. If management has any desire to win, they sign 3-4 players this offseason that arent over the hill or other teams cast offs. But we know they wont, so expect another 90+ loss season. Every team needs more than 5 good players to win in baseball. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, August 10, 09:10:32am
  • New owners are a must. They Have to sign these top two draft picks in the next few days. With our luck, they'll both have Tommy John surgery in the next two years. (NT) -- Somerset24, Tuesday, August 10, 09:33:17am
    • I hear ya, they wanted those players, now sign them, face track them to majors and get them up here before the core 4 are traded or free agents. Nutting is a waste of time. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, August 10, 09:57:38am

• I predict that the Nuttings only pay one of the two top draft picks and then claim that the unsigned player wouldn't sign. (NT) -- Apluski, Tuesday, August 10, 02:20:47pm

• Puleez! Apparently some of the Duquesne stench did rub off on the Pirates the last 17 years.....don't wish that upon either team. (NT) -- StevieDuke, Tuesday, August 10, 02:51:32pm
  • Same old troll, spiffy new name. -- El Duque, Tuesday, August 10, 04:45:29pm
    • how dare you, sir? Dont you know Pitt has 3 football players that are on preseason award lists? Its 1980 all over again according to the Pitt Post Gazette. Wonder what excuses they will use when Utah smacks them down week 1? Time change? Thinner air? Crowd noise? Gooo UTES!!!! (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Tuesday, August 10, 04:58:32pm
      • There are some closet Pitt football lovers on this board (clearly, I'm not in this category), so you have to be a little careful. On the other hand, it's good that an iconic movie such as "My Cousin Vinny" can inspire a nickname for a college football team. (NT) -- El Duque, Tuesday, August 10, 05:33:07pm
        • should mention that Greg Romeus was held out of practice, again. The PITT Post gazette considers this "headline news", since afterall, the #1 pick in next years draft has a sprained ankle or toe or something meaningless. (NT) -- I just threw up in my mouth, Tuesday, August 10, 09:43:27pm
        • I would rather sit in a room for 3 hours and watch paint dry than watch ANY football game where one of the paticipants is our good friends from Oakland. (NT) -- kenOTR73, Tuesday, August 10, 10:14:11pm
          • I'd rather watch the grass grow in AJ Rooney Field. (NT) -- svenLing, Wednesday, August 11, 06:54:27am
            • It wasn't that long ago (Gattusso was the coach here) that I would have bet that DU could beat Pitt in football. Before anyone laughs, there have been numerous upsets in which FCS teams have knocked off BCS programs. I could have easily envisioned Leigh Bodden making a pick in an open field and breaking a 0-0 game open. PS, one of the all time great upsets in college football was 7-0 DU over ESP on a rain-soaked field in the 1930s. Elmer Layden was the coach, Bilgy would remember better. He had season's tickets. (NT) -- El Duque, Wednesday, August 11, 07:50:50am
              • C'mon ED. No way could we have beaten any 1A team. We were barely competitive with weak Patriot League teams. Villanova or Richmond would have smashed us, let alone a mid level 1A team like Pitt. DU was a major in the 1930's, not now. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, August 11, 03:07:19pm
                • At that time, Pitt, Rutgers and Temple, to name a few, hand their hands full with 1AAs. No way to prove it either way, now, but I won't budge off this one. Pitt stunk in those days. -- El Duque, Wednesday, August 11, 03:13:26pm
                  • Pitt has never come close to losing to a 1AA, and let's be honest, the Dukes at their best weren't close to the level of teams like Villanova and UMass. There is a huge gap between 1AA scholarship, and non scholarship programs, let alone 1A. When the Dukes were at their peak, Pitt was going to bowl games under Walt Harris. (NT) -- duq81, Wednesday, August 11, 05:15:42pm
                    • Furman was close iirc. I agree tho, we never would have had a shot at Pitt (or even a team like Temple). (NT) -- Rogabee, Wednesday, August 11, 11:44:52pm
                      • Not now. A couple years ago, you, me and nine of our best friends could have beaten Temple and given Pitt a game, IMHO. (NT) -- El Duque, Thursday, August 12, 04:29:12pm

• Romeus and the other thug defensive end for armpitt U hav made a name for themselves beating up on the weak opponents on the armpitt schedule; they both disappear against decent teams; I seem to recall the WVU O-line handling them nicely last year! (NT) -- Jules, Wednesday, August 11, 12:16:30pm
  • they, like the entire team, will be tested early at Utah, v Miami and at ND before the conference schedule starts. (NT) -- See, Wednesday, August 11, 12:44:31pm
  • i find it absolutely hilarious that on a duquesne discussion board, you all talk more about pitt than you do duquesne. pretty pathetic actually. (NT) -- me, Wednesday, August 11, 01:30:08pm
    • Do you know if Pitt plays a 4/3 or a 3/4 defense? I wonder how good Sunseri will do this year, lots of pressure on him. (NT) -- Seen on Miltenberger St, Wednesday, August 11, 02:44:25pm
      • Not sure what defense they play? Guess would be 4-3 because they have a great D-line. Sunseri is a 3rd year soph has excellent receivers and one of the top RB's in the country so he should be fine. Pitt is going to have a good year....could be a great year if they get past Utah on the road right out of the gate. Will enjoy watching that one! (NT) -- Greg, Thursday, August 12, 11:55:07am

• Tonight is the deadline for signing draft choices. If the Washington Nationals do not sigh Bryce Harper, he goes back into next year's draft, which the Pirates will probably win first choice. So there is a chance Harper could wind up a Pirate. Harper has amazing power. He can hit the ball out of any park, including Yellowstone. (NT) -- Bilgy, Sunday, August 15, 10:07:06am
