You guys should take pride in your city! Pittsburgh has been awesome! Great, great trip!!!!!I’m glad you enjoyed your trip to Pittsburgh. We take a lot of pride in our city and, at least me personally, I thought it was cool that a new fanbase got to visit it for the first time. Safe travels back to Tennessee.
That was definitely not the case tonight. They had so many injuries and most didn’t come back into the game. They were legit hurt. Not like Ole Miss hurt
Sounds like their fans are classier than their coach - what a whiner. Dude needs to grow up and accept that referees are bad and missed calls are part of the game that go both ways. Learn to deal with it and shut your trapI have been super impressed with Pittsburgh and their fan base. Friendly, engaging, and had quite a few shake my hand right after the game ended.
Ole Miss did a mind___ on our fanbase, we think everyone is faking now, even when they aren’t.. they kind of ruined it for everyone lol.. Normally we clap when players get up and leave the field on both sides of the ball.. even more reason to despise OleMiss lol.. we know who to blame and it rhymes with RiffenRespectfully, our players did not “fake” injuries today. I understand that might be a common occurrence with your offense, but we had several players go down with legitimate injuries when we needed them on the field the most.
Also, since we’re on this subject, I was disappointed to hear Tennessee fans boo Bentley’s injury in the first half, though I understand they do not represent the great Volunteer fanbase as a whole.
We are sensitive to it because of Ole Miss, but unless it is very obvious you should probably assume injuries are legit. I dont think anyone other than a few would say that those injuries were definitely faked.That’s not true. They had a drive where it happened 2 or 3 times almost consecutively. There’s no way in hell they were all injured. How many injury timeouts did Tennessee take? I’ll answer it for you NONE

I saw several that were extremely dubious. It’s preposterously unlikely that everyone one of their injuries was legitimate. Go back and watch it.We are sensitive to it because of Ole Miss, but unless it is very obvious you should probably assume injuries are legit.

I didn’t register one injury that looked fake. We can’t sit here and assume every team is faking injuries. I absolutely HATE when our fan base boos injuries, fake or not. Not everyone has context, and it makes us look horrific. I get that Ole Miss and Purdue were doing it relentlessly, but if we just calmed down and let the rest of college football notice, we would be better off. Did you witness the car flipping incident with Kentucky after the Florida game? Nobody wants that look. I love that our fans are insane, but unless it’s blatantly obvious, we need to stop hyper focusing on injuries.Y’all have a good team. If you’d quit the fake injuries I’d have nothing but respect
We never used to big boo birds, and I have never heard us booing an injured player before this is fallout from Ole Miss and Purdue.. we think everyone is doing it now (the flop).. but I think we were just playing that rough.. it will dissipate..(especially at home games) not too worriedI didn’t register one injury that looked fake.

This has been a fun trip. Got to see lots of family and of course a win. The vast majority of Pitt fans were welcoming, hospitable and classy. Several spoke to me after the game and engaged the conversation, even at dinner after the game. Fun town and great sports town. Now, if the Pirates will ever get good.....
I get it. Whiskey makes me mean too. But Pitt played a tough game and after this series I have no ill-will towards them. Plus I want our wins to be good. If Pitt goes out and finishes the season poorly then it makes our win look weaker. I’ve always had a little pride in us being the “good guys” and being Volunteers. We do have a friendly yet passionate fanbase. But if it’s Bama, Jawja, or UF—-f’em….except for the couple UF posters on the board— Lawerence and Gatorlaw are pretty cool.Ok sorry that may have been harsh. Dickle is tickling.
