I predict that the Nuttings only pay one of the two top draft picks and then claim that the unsigned player wouldn't sign. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

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
