The Couch-burners, sometimes called WVU, hate Pitt. It is the truth. Do they hate us more? Maybe. But the fact of the matter is that they hate both of us. The Couch-burners hate that we have more class than them, even though we could practically spit on WV from our little slice of Heaven. They hate Pitt because - well, I guess Pitt is a lot like them. PA and WV are practically the same state, as much as PA doesn't want to admit it. So, the question is, do we hate Pitt because they are like the Couch-burners, or do we love them because the Couch-burners hate them?
It's a tough question to answer, I admit it. Starting next year, the Jr.Couch-burners will be joining us in the Coastal division of the ACC. Syracuse will be joining the ACC in the Atlantic Division. So, starting next year, we will be playing the Jr. Couch-burners every single year, and, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm kinda glad. We SHOULD be playing the ORIGINAL (Sr.) Couch-burners every year as an out-of-conference rivalry. They are in the top 10, and well, I hate them. But, it would make us a much better team to play them every year - much like playing Miami sucks, but it feels so good when we win. Instead, we play teams like Austin Peay and ECU and Duke... oh wait, I guess we can't avoid that last one. Someone let them into the ACC. Regardless, playing the Jr. Couch-burners on a regular basis is a good thing.
BUT, in my opinion we have no choice but to hate them. Much like I hate Notre Dame fans and the idea of them coming into the ACC - well, kinda, sorta, half-way, but not technically for football - in 2014. Either be in a conference or don't be in a conference. Seriously! None of their fans, much like Miami, ever WENT TO THE SCHOOL. I DETEST that. ABHOR IT! It appears that the non-conference football team will be playing 5 ACC games a year. I'm betting Weaves is the one who came up with this brilliant idea. I can't wait to beat them and listen to the excuses at work...
But back to the Jr. Couch-burners - they have won 9 National Championships. They play at Heinz Field, home of the Steelers (barf), which only holds 65,050. Who knew? Lane Stadium holds 66,233. So, those two little tidbits, plus the fact that they are so close to being the Original Couch-burners that we'll barely be able to tell the difference... means, yes, HATING them in fine. Encouraged. Applauded.
They apparently hate themselves:
If you can't make that out, it says, "I SACKED TINO SUNSERI TOO". That's their QB. That's sad.
Yep, that's Tino on his back.
I could go on and on.
The panthers are really having a tough year so far. They are 0-2, losing to Youngstown State and Cincinnati. When we beat them tomorrow, it will be their first 0-3 start since 2005. Why such a bad season? This is head coach Paul Chryst's first year as head coach. He came from Wisconsin, so he has some promise. Their defense is just horrible - young and inexperienced. Their lead rusher, Ray Graham, averages just 87 yards/game. And even though Tino is 6th all-time in passing yards at the school of Jr. Couch-burners, you can see from above how well he is liked. I'm reminded of... Sean Glennon...but even we weren't that mean to Glennon.
The Jr. Couch-burners hail just 3 miles from downtown Pittsburgh. They were the college football home of players like Russ Grimm (who must have loved it so much he had his son come to VT), Tony Dorsett, Dan Marino, and Mike Ditka. So, should we fear the OLD GOLD and blue?
HAHAHAHA. Of course not! If the Giraffe can't get something going this game, then fire Stiney. I mean it. This is a game to boost our egos and pad our stats. We lead the series 7-4, and yes, they've upset us before, but this is not the year for that, my friends. We haven't played this form of OLD GOLD since 2003, and, I think they've missed us. We are coming into this #13 in the polls (and yes, the AP poll and the USA Today poll agree with each other, which is unsettling). Would I rather be playing the top 10 Sr. Couch-burners? Yeah. But, that would make me very, very scared. We can beat this team in Stiney's sleep.
On a side note, the Pitt Promise obviously doesn't go far. Read THIS from this Spring. Hilarious! What if he had choked on the plastic bag and passed out? That would have made me pee my pants. Like this almost did...
The cat in the background near the end is my favorite part. And the chow mix.
So, that's about all I have to say for tonight. This is the kind of game that dream stats are made of. The Giraffe should be so excited that he can't sleep. Be positive for this one, folks. It's going to be fun! Can someone earn his hip-hop name? Maybe...
Love a college play-off, but having only 4 teams is asinine,
The B.S.C.
P.S.
What self-respecting school would take a picture of this and post it?
Yuck! Is this WV or what?
