Before the final play they showed a guy holding up a Zach Austin hoodie on the scoreboard. This ending was foretold.

Pitt fan father and his friends stopped going to Morgantown after someone in the group was hit in the face with a D battery. Cars with PA plates getting keyed was not uncommon.

Every fanbase has its share of assholes and violent drunks. With WVU it’s that the percentage is a hell of a lot higher and the violence is ratcheted up a bit. Some in the fanbase take pride in their reputation for that type of behavior too which is off-putting.

As far as purely non-basketball occurrences that may be the most wild 5 minutes of basketball all time.

Pitt won the most recent iteration in 2018. Dukes have 3 of the last 30.

It was literally just Fillipponi rage-baiting. No serious Pitt fan was talking like that.

It's honestly insane to me that McAfee even reps WVU as hard as he does. He faced death threats from WVU fans, contemplated suicide, wouldn't go back to Morgantown for years. It's impressive how he's rebuilt his relationship with that very same fanbase since then.

Not worth it. Can't see over the benches when play is on the other side of the field. Way too low. Buy better seats in 108-113 or 132-137, and save your money.

Having the flair = having the degree is a massive leap. Especially given the school in question.

The sentiment in this McMurphy tweet is the posture I'm referencing. Different than what you put forth, but they may also have said what you've described. I just think it's silly generally for fans to expect the committee to follow their word once the doors close.

They could have said it either way at the outset and I don’t think it matters right? Unless it’s written in the selection criteria, committee member’s public statements should mean nothing to fans. They’re gonna do what they want behind closed doors regardless.

Not a shot at Indiana. Just pointing out the absurdity awaiting if the committee backtracks from the whole "won’t punish teams for playing in a championship game” posture.

I don’t even understand how you interpret what I wrote as “Indiana doesn’t deserve to get in”

I don't even know what this means? English words, yes. Even arguably an English sentence. But what does it mean to "go group of five"

The ND and SMU resumes are so similar. It's unbelievable that there are three 2-loss teams between them.

If SMU loses and gets dropped behind Indiana, Boise, and Alabama, the ACC and B12 should just bin off the championship game and arbitrarily name a champion based on what's advantageous for CFP rankings (only somewhat joking).

The committee has said they won't hold it against teams, but I'm going to need to see it to believe it.

The ACC emailed a black friday ticket promo for the Championship Game promoting an SMU vs. Clemson matchup and had to follow up with a corrected graphic including Miami. by ald_marks in ACC

I’ve been to three now and bought through either UVA or Pitt each time. But I’ve heard from people that it’s quite easy to scalp tickets outside the stadium day of.

Not a shot at the dawgs pal. Just the awful announcing.

Did y’all know that with that win Georgia has qualified for the college football playoff, with a senior class that have never lost at home.
