Q: Do you want to play Penn State every year?

A: We need to be playing Penn State. I was on the job about a month and I talked to Coach Paterno about it. It probably won't happen until he retires and I understand that. It's his prerogative. But it'll happen. Maybe I won't even be here, either. We should play each other. It's a great, great national in-state rivalry. We should be playing each other. There is no question about that. There probably isn't anyone who would disagree with that.

Wanny has it right when he says, "We NEED to be playing Penn State." If Pitt could get Penn State on their home schedule every other year, they could package the game with some craptastic match-ups to sell all their tickets for half their games.

Pitt is desperate for the revenue and legitimacy that would come with a series of home-and-homes with Penn State. Not to worry, Wanny, the possibility of a Pitt-Penn State Fiesta Bowl is still alive.
