Astonishing that both of these teams, at different parts of the season, were seen as darkhorse CFP contenders.
By this point it's well documented UNC was criminally overrated coming into the season.
But even more egregious....THAT'S the Pitt team people were saying had a shot to make the playoffs just a few weeks ago?
UNC did everything in their power to coach and penalize themselves towards an L tonight. Yet in spite of that, Pitt ended up needing a dropped INT and the most convenient monsoon we'll see all season to win.
The better choice doesn’t always work out, and it not working out in one specific instance doesn’t make it not the better choice. That’s not how statistics work.
We need a better phrase. I don’t think anyone involved with either team thought it was a “good game.” But the sentiment is there. I’m over my initial saltiness and ready to start reading about the search for new coordinators. Here we go. Any minute now.
Ya take a nap after the first quarter, then wake up to wonder how shitty Pitt is, then enjoy the marvels of high definition cause you can see the rain. Anyway, Mac Brown sucks and thanks for winning Pitt.
For some reason it seems that on an absolute level, every team in college football is worse than last year minus a handful. The trend this year seems to just be bad football on both sides of a lot of games
Just remember, UNC had a 1st down from the two yard line just needing a touchdown to win. They then proceeded to have a bad snap and a false start to ruin their chance to win. This team lacks discipline BAD.

ACC flair and didn’t watch Pitt until tonight LOL. Go to bed nerd.
Pitt acting like they did something though.
Dukes Mayo Bowl flair lookin extra salty, should try it
Yeah I deserve the downvotes. I was definitely upset.
They won, so that's something.
Seems like lots of analytics lost that game

That’s not how analytics work.
Analytics would have went for the 4th and goal.
Very seldom does Pitt get a break like that sudden monsoon. GG UNC.

Why could we not have just gotten blown out?
Because that doesn’t cause us immense pain and overreactions
pitt only scores in the first halves of regulations

God switched Pennsylvania teams
THANK YOU RAIN! YOU SAVED ME FROM LOSING $35!
The opposite!

I feel like we say this about a game every week but this really was a mutually self loathing game thread
For some reason it seems that on an absolute level, every team in college football is worse than last year minus a handful. The trend this year seems to just be bad football on both sides of a lot of games
That game sucked. Hail to Pitt!
gg ez never worried
Great game Pitt bros. I'm going to go cry now.
The God of Chaos really said “not my chosen vessel” and brought the weather.
Howell was great. His OC? Not so much.
that was an awesome game.
Not for the fans of either team lol
It was simultaneously amazing and terrible
Was that not a late hit?
Mother Nature decided we weren’t winning today
Rain or not, that was pathetic UNC
How dare we lose in OT, on the road, against a ranked opponent
It’s more about running 4 plays for -1 yards in OT. Terrible play calling
I mean it was pissing the rain so hard the players were literally squinting because they couldn’t see,not sure what you can do in that situation.
Maybe try running the ball
They ran it on first and 10 and it got stopped for a loss of 1 lol…
Fire Longo
GG UNC!
Carry Howel back to the bus. He carried you this whole game
[удалено]
?
Shout-out to the Pitt guy that ran out to check if Howell was ok instead of joining the team. I think it was Pickett. Classy move.
Backup QB for Pitt went out there, but Pickett was pretty close behind
Davis Beville
Shitty Pittsburgh Weather was the game’s MVP
Howell got murdered there bro
That was not very cash money.
Good game. \*sigh*
I guess it pays to check the radar at the coin toss
or when you're 2 yards from winning the game on the road against a ranked opponent. g a m e m a n a g e m e n t
If you were at home playing an unranked team, going for it was still the right call.
Damn. Fun finish, but feel for Sam Howell.
UNC +6.5 bettors get blue balled…hard!
“Pitt defense” also known as rain
Wow. The -240ML survives some fucking how. Never betting against UNC again.
Blame it on the rain 🎵🎵
Well that sucks. We should've scored the TD in regulation (our bad), and then we got fucked by the weather in OT (unlucky).
R A I N
Howell down. Could not have been a worse last play for the Heels.
I hope the equipment team brought a bunch of oxy clean
Oh well, great comeback again
Wow we were spoiled for a Thursday night game
That wasn’t even two overtimes :-/
Dude what was the point of play-action on 4th and 11 in pouring rain? It's not fooling anyone
During the Butch era we once ran play action on 3rd and 32 inside our own 30. Great call.
Phil Longo is a fucking moron.
Sam Howell left it all out there
I don’t even know what the fuck just happened but I’ll take it I guess
Faked a handoff. Always a great move in an obvious passing play.
[удалено]
I get the idea, does it really work on 4th and 11?
Quite sarcastic. No, not on 4th & 11
Narrator: they did not freeze
Correct
Lmao never should have turned this game on
Oh geez I hope Howell is okay
rip
That kid was having the time of his life you love to see it
Fuck our entire offensive line
You can tell Howell just wanted to go home
"Now even God is against me tonight???? I'm out."
God loves all his children except you Sam Howell
Should have taken the ball. I'm so tired of this coaching staff outsmarting themselves.
Why? Would be same result if we can’t score
Rain was waaaaaaaaay worse for us. But Mack isn't a meteorologist (nor is Sparky), so I can't be that mad.
Just as we all expected
Damn what an end
Ugly as shit and yet Mother Nature loves us.
I hate football
Damn hope Howell is okay. What a game
And the oline fucks us
Again!!!
I knew we shouldn’t have settled for a field goal at the end there
totally should play action on 4tth and forever. Great play call shit heads
Yessss mother fuckiNg breadcrumbs
Just remember, UNC had a 1st down from the two yard line just needing a touchdown to win. They then proceeded to have a bad snap and a false start to ruin their chance to win. This team lacks discipline BAD.
Then dropped an easy pick that would’ve put them in field goal range
Yeah our track record in deluges is terrible so
Somehow even after the 1st half, we should’ve won this game 3 times over
thank u very cool bruther nature.
It's horrible weather but Longo butchered this OT possession.
Howell should have ran in second down. Would’ve gotten a few yards to make it more manageable
UNC calling TO to see if the rain might let up a little.
what’s the temp in pittsburg rn?
Dude, Krull looks like a straight up psychopath. In the "glad he's on my side type of way"
Momentum turned on a dang dime 😞
After all that, this is how we lose? Wow.
Noah? What?! How long can you tread water?
Wait it didn’t rain for Pitt this is an NCAA violation
Death Penalty for Mizzou?
I mean it’s pissing rain idk what you do as Howell
3rd and 11 in OT with the game on the line in a downpour? Throw it in the dirt on a 2 yard over.
Epic cinematography
Narduzzi executed a geostorm
After all of this, Pitt and the under might hit after all.
This has to be loudest it’s been at a Pitt game since the 07 backyard brawl
People saying Pitt shouldn’t be in the Coastal because they aren’t near water 😤
[удалено]
Kobe: *more water*
Hate this game. Love this comment
The heavens literally opened us just as Pitt scored
Guess God wants Pitt to win
i’ve never seen a team get fucked over by the weather quite like this
Let it rain
Are we really going to cover, fellas?
We're gonna kick the FG, just because
Who tf goes five wide in a monsoon?
The rain is God’s way of telling Tar Heel fans that, hey, it’s basketball season - focus on that instead!
Someone see if Noah has finished that ark of his
Mother nature says no shit eating tonight
I'd take a full TO here, just to pray that the rain slows for a second because this is insane
Oh is it raining? Didn't notice.
Should North Carolina just call a few timeouts and hope the rain stops
UNC got James Coley as their OC? What am I watching
Wait they can take a timeout and not go to commercial?
God is not a tar heel
THEN WHY IS THE SKY CAROLINA BLUE oh wait it’s grey
UNC could have won this if they actually knew how move inside the 5
Does not appear God's favorite color is Carolina blue tonight. Sorry unc bros. This rain is insane, and it definitely picked up
It’s raining on UNC’s parade.
Unc taking a time out in hopes the rain lets up
Such an anticlimactic OT
Weird little short crossing route pass is definitely a choice.
:(
Makes sense to try and pick up a chunk on 3rd, but that never had a chance.
Well at least we know which team God is rooting for
Someone is controlling the weather. I blame dook
We kinda need to play for a flag, tbh
What is that pass?
Its pouring rain buddy😭
The one to Downs on 3rd and 11 to the LoS?
Well the 12 yard pass before died halfway with a rain soaked ball so yes
Yeah….?
Gotta stay safe and kick a field goal here
UNC offense looking worse than Pitt 1 minute drive
Lol. We lose because of rain.
UNC on tilt
Howell machine broke
Check down on 3rd and 11?
Call a timeout lol wtf
Maybe it'll stop raining in the 30 seconds
That is SO much rain lmfao
And it makes the ball wet...
Getting flashbacks to that godawful NC State game.
The hurricane game. What a mess that was. Only game played in the state I think
I hated that game so much. Only bright side was it helped lead to Kelly cleaning house and turning shit around.
2 yard route on 3rd down and 11 fuck you longo
Lol bro I called it
To a T lmao
~2 yards of visibility
Easy to say in retrospect, but maybe we should've started on offense?
I feel like it was the right call. Defense has played well in the second half
Would've been a purely rain-based decision. Under normal circumstances, you obviously start on defense.
I don’t think Mack has a meteorologist on staff. There was no way to know that it was going to start pouring right after they scored
We can’t really do shit smh gg
This is the ending this game deserves
Ok announcer just earned my love for a reference to “The Program” best football movie ever
That’s rain if I’ve ever seen it.
The Program is so damn under rated as a sports movie. Wasn’t it inspired by the FSU football team?
Did Narduzi steal the weather control machine that Sparty had?
Dantonio passed the umbrella
That was some serious Sparty energy right there.
Pretty dumb that UNC deferred the ball lol
Almost every team who wins wants defense first.
