IN THE NAVY


Honestly, on Oct. 2nd at 11PM, I said I was angry we had a 16 day break. Honestly, it felt like the whole offseason all over again. Scary thing about that is...well we all know what happened our first game back. So with no further adoo...

WHY PITT WILL BEAT NAVY BY 14+...

-Shady McCoy. He torched them last year and he will do it again. Shady just needs to hold onto the rock against Navy. He's sooooo hot right now too. Feelin' 2 Bills outta Shady Saturday.

-Billy the Kid. Pat Bostick threw all over this team last year. There is no doubt Bill can pass on Navy when we need him too Saturday. It will also help Billy that Shady will set up play action and short distance passing downs. All QB's are better in short yardage downs.

-Jonathan Baldwin. I have compared him to Larry Legend ever since he chose the Panthers. Larry had a big game in week 2 against A&M, but then didn't really break out until around game 5. JB had his coming out party last week, and he will now turn into a ridiculous talent. Navy's starting corners are 5'7 and 6'0 tall. JB is 6'6. (giggling)

-Scott McKillop. People are giving him the respect he deserves finally. All he ever does is step up in big games. People are saying 15+ tackles. I see it too.

-Corners. Jovani Chappel and AB are both very very solid tacklers. This is huge when playing a team like Navy. They should be able to contain the outside sweeps of Navy.

-Revenge. Don't think this team forgot about last years embarassing nationally televised loss to Navy. This might actually be the biggest factor.

WHY NAVY MIGHT HANG CLOSE FOR A WHILE...

-Homecoming. Homecoming fires up everyone. Navy has a very passionate fan base. The game will be a sell out of 34,000 fans. However, people are projecting near 8,000 Pitt fans. 8,000 Pitt fans would be unreal. Can't wait to hear Let's Go Pitt chants.

-Defensive Ends. The DE's are excellent pass rushers, but they do have trouble keeping contain on the ends. They need to play at home. Hopefully the 2 weeks has also given our players a chance to get used to cut blocking.

-Kaipo. Kaipo owned us last year. He is a scary player to think about. He can run that offense to perfection.

-Wanny. If Wanny doesn't know how to stop their offense in year 2, he better take a long hard look in the mirror. He brought up stopping the Oklahoma teams back in the day. How couldn't he stop this Navy O? The spread is way harder to defend than the triple option, but Wanny seems to have a decent grasp of the spread. Example No. 133351324245 of why Dave Wannstedt doesn't make sense.

1st off....No apologies for your 6 day's without a post is uncalled for. You owe the people who take the time out of thier busy work day that click on thier "favorites" and refresh "False Floss" only to see the crappy boob video blog. step it up.

I didnt have Pitt as one of my 5 picks for the week...but now that the floss is going with them (big suprise), I am too.

How's the hoes at Pitt doing?

Floss,
I like the confidence, I am worried about the game but have a good feeling inside. Kind of similar to a recent baseball series that just concluded last night...
So my prediction will be like this: Pitt outplays them the first 2 quarters, takes a 24-7 lead into the half. Navy chips away in the 3rd but still remains a TuDdy back. Shady puts it away in the 4th with his 3rd TuDdy on the day.

Final score Pitt 34- Navy 24

I will give you a week warning Floss, that I will not be present for homecoming. Going to Game 3 of the series in Philly, can't pass that up given it only happens once every 15 years.

I refused to comment on your previous post because, well, it just sucked. i would rather you not give me anything than give me shit. I am also a bit upset that there was no apology, but hey you just might not get an apology when i stop reading this site. You said it yourself that without the fans there is not site, so you best be nice to the fans unless you want your legend to disintegrate faster than a drof cigarette. that is all.
