This is not a high attendance/viewership game even if the Steelers moved to Winnipeg. UNC used a more accepted form of cheating (stealing offensive signs) to beat Pitt the last two years. Hopefully Pitt learned its lesson. 17-10 Panthers at half.Quote:

UNC's navy blue pants seem closer to Duke's Prussian blue than anything Duke wears these days.
From teamcolorcodes.com: "The North Carolina Tarheels [sic] colors are Carolina Blue, navy blue, silver and white."
So you’re literally saying that the Heels looked good?Quote:

but at Pitt, cheats looked good
I would approve of that color pant on our guys more....Quote:

But I would bet a pie that he will be back next week!
Incidentally, Wake is at 7 wins right now. Every win should improve their bowl position. And, after conceding a loss today, their last 2 games are against Duke and Syracuse.
That game broke Duke it looks like.Quote:

I think the program in the bigger picture had inflection points too....the second half loss to Texas A and M was not a downward inflection point, but it prevented an even bigger pivot up. The Miami loss was a big downer. 2016 was a downer. It took late surges to save 17 and 18....meaning we limp into a bowl against a weak opponent and thankfully win. But no real upward inflection points in a long time. Maybe the Pinstripe Bowl. But 59-7 was huge downer. Jump pass a real downer. Last night a real down.Quote:
