All of these comments are from a Pitt graduate and fan.

And from a USC fan, one going to the game on Thursday, I will say win or lose, congrats to Joe Pa and his team.

I have long admired him as a coach and a gentlemen, whatever happens Thursday, it will be great to have been there.

As an outsider, I support Papa Joe and his team working to upset USC. Go Lions!
