I hate that this is happening but am resigned to it. Maybe our new overrated coach can do something other than wear his suit and parade around telling how wonderful he is...but I don’t hold out much hope for that either. I may have to find a hobby in the fall other than Saturday football....

Well, I tried dating for a few months and that didn't work out all that great. :(

What's going to happen, will happen. On that you're right. I just hope the Big Ten does go to 16 and brings in Pitt. They face being left out cause they don't expand the TV market (which is what it is all about). Expand it geographically, that is. They would expand the local interest in the Big Ten Network.

The talk about adding Rutgers or Maryland or Syracuse are about expanding the BTN geographically. And I see the need for some of that.

But, along the way adding Pitt and (ideally) WVU gives the Big Ten the whole enchilada in the football market in this area. Having lots of eyeballs in a football hotbed is better (IMO) than having the state of Maryland or New Jersey.

It's stupid that Pitt and Penn State don't play. So I welcome advances to restore that rivalry.
