Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3199943, member: 833"] Re: PItt Pitt sucked for most of its history, then Howland came along, had two winning seasons, and then got the hell out of there. Dixon managed to build a pipeline to New York that got Pitt talent it had not seen in decades through Barry Rohrssen. Recruiting started to slip when Rohrssen left in 2006, and Pitt hasn't reached the second weekend of the Tournament since Rohrssen's last class graduated in 2009. Pitt has no natural recruiting territory. Western PA is football country, and WVU competes in the area along with all of the Big 10 for a small amount of high level D1A talent. Now that Pitt no longer plays in New York, it is just another school trying to get players out of the Big Apple, and has not been particularly successful. [/QUOTE]
