Beat Pitt

Charleston Daily Mail:

Rodriguez said 'Pitt' was 'the third word' he used in his post-game speech Saturday.

When asked, he declined to disclose the first two words he used. That drew a long laugh from the media members who covered the Mountaineers' 42-24 win over the Bearcats.

One only can imagine what those words were, but fans familiar with the rivalry undoubtedly have an idea.

ESPN.com - NCF - Starkey: Pitt looks at Backyard Brawl as season-saver:

Here's something real: If the Panthers (6-4 overall, 2-3 Big East) don't beat No. 8 West Virginia (8-1, 3-1) on Thursday in the 99th renewal of the Backyard Brawl (ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET), they will be staring at some cold realities going into their season finale Nov. 25 against No. 10 Louisville.

Among them:

• The Panthers, predicted by Big East coaches to finish third in the conference, could be headed for a sixth- or seventh-place finish.
• They would have clinched their first losing season in the Big East since 1999.
• They would be one loss shy of their first five-game losing streak since 2001 and their first five-game Big East skid since 1998.
• They would be in danger of missing a bowl game for the second straight year after going to five in a row under previous coach Walt Harris. At best, Pitt might be looking at a spot in the inaugural International Bowl in Toronto.

Once again, WVU controls its own destiny. We must win the next two games against Pitt and USF. Then deal with the University of Rutgers.

Should we prove to be the better team on December 2nd, we could once again be headed to the BCS. The key factor to this scenario is an undefeated Rutgers making it to Morgantown. Go Scarlett Knights!!!

Recent (albeit ever chaging) predictions have WVU facing the OSU/Michigan loser in the Rose Bowl. Sweeeett!

With the recent attention that Maryland has been receiving, WVU's victory over the Terps early in the season will really boost our Computer rankings. Go Terps!
