I feel like this bowl is going to be one of those "remember where you were" games..like lake placid 1980 

[WhatTheBuck 28943]

Go Rockets!

[satyanash 15715]

Apparently themed snacks and cocktails for each team are available for purchase at the stadium.

Rocket fuel malt liquor...damn!

 

Good opening drive for Toledo but Pitt blocks and runs back the PAT.  6-2.

[ButtFumble 5297]

crazy start to this game.....Toledo says fuck it and goes for it on 4th and goal at the 2 and makes a great play.....then dicks off the kick for a return by Pitt for 2

[WBT 21039]

It will always be the Quick Lane Bowl to me damnit

[TOR 6196]

Rockets driving, this bowl may be more fun than expected.

[Al_4_ISU 12679]

Toledo's coach was Campbell's right man before he came to ISU.  I'm seeing all the little quirks of Campbell's that piss me off in him.  Bad special teams play being at the top of the list.

First time seeing a player on the kicking team catch a punt

Didn't we have a couple of those with Dicko?

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

This has been a terrible ending to the season. So many injuries, especially with Eli being knocked out of three of the final six game. The offensive line has been ravaged by injuries. Now playing a walk-on as the starting QB. Who the hell knows what will happen. I don’t doubt that the kids will play hard but, just been shitty.

This Desmond Reid kid for Pitt looks legit

[TOR 6196]

Damn 57 yards on that FG?  Nice job by Pitt after being stopped.  The safety is going to make squares interesting.

Does he need a Maserati?

[VirginiaLonghorn 4921]

Let’s trade for that Pitt PK … 

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

He’s going to the NFL. He’s been a fantastic kicker for us. Remember, two seasons back he’s the one who nailed the FG to beat UCLA in the Sun Bowl.

Desmond is very good at RB but, he too was really banged up for a while. We need another back in the backfield to take the weight off his shoulders.

I had forgotten you guys were 7-0 going into SMU.  I've been a part of some similar collapses myself (2002 at the top of the list) and it just sucks.

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

Arm was moving forward

[TOR 6196]

Clearly incomplete these refs are terrible.

[AbeFroman 3144]

That's obviously an incomplete pass.  Are they blind?

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

Click and clack in the booth, that's close , oh it's so close..No it's not

Ooop, sure does.  Touchdown Rockets on the WR screen.

I’ve lived it. We have been cursed since 48-14. Cursed.

[Al_4_ISU 12679]

Did the Toledo guy just do "HOLD MA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK"?

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

That block by the WR was a bit questionable

[HornPhD 1395]

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

Ho-Lee-Fuk

For Fuck’s Sake. Come on.

First time watching Pitt Football?

We can turn chicken salad into chicken shit in the blink of an eye

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

Fucking stand up for your guys, come on. They are taking some cheap shots at Des. 

OC needs to be a shit ton better, as well. 

[ButtFumble 5297]

already getting to lunch pail talk 😑

[ButtFumble 5297]

I would like to punch the gold peak tea guy on behalf of all the other leaves

[Rimbo 27109]

Desmond Reid is a Dude.

(I am only at 12 minutes into the 2nd quarter, so apologies if he turns out to fuck up the game for Pitt somehow in the intervening minutes.)

[satyanash 15715]

Was it tipped? Such a bizarre throw.

Really, he’s the 4th string QB. A walk-on, and there is a reason for that. It’s ugly, to say the very least.

[WBT 21039]

just threw another one.

Toledo qb tried to one-up him by throwing into triple coverage

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

Horribly bad football.

Which is matched by the even more horrible announcers, especially the play-by-play guy, that has no clue what is happening on the field most of the time.

Beats the hell out of NO football.

[TOR 6196]

Rockets consistently take bad angles and get out-run by the Pitt skill players.

Depends on your point of view. With no skin in the game I would enjoy watching the ineptitude.

I decided that, because day after Christmas, that I was not going to work the game. I told Pitt that I was not going to go, even though Detroit is so close. I haven’t seen who these announcers are but, yes, they are bad.

I don’t know. It’s like bad sex is better than none but, if you get an STD, well, no sex was indeed, better. I feel like I am getting an STD in my eyes from watching this abomination.

[Buzzrock 15185]

I for one adore a derpy college bowl game…as long as GT isn’t doing the derping.

Which doesn't matter when the walk on quarterback throws the ball to Toledo consistently. I would put that other freshman quarterback back in and run the wildcat till Toledo stopped it.

I would consider becoming the OC for Pitt, if the offer was right.😃

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

#86 was a freshman All-America at TE. He has been wasted for three season.

[PittsburghTiger 6390]

At least our OL is now at least starting to stand up for their teammates.
