🚨THREAD: Is your college football team not playing this fall? Need a bandwagon to hop on for 2020? Well I have just the team for you... here is why everyone should hop on the Pitt Panthers bandwagon this season. 🔵🟡🔵🟡🔵
#1. Pat Narduzzi’s calves: I mean, have you seen them? The Post Gazette even had an article on them a couple years back... (s/o @CraigMeyerPG for this journalistic masterpiece).
#2. Kenny Pickett is entering his 3rd full year as QB1. With a year of experience in Coach Whipple’s offense, it’s time for the senior to take a big step forward. And he’s looking like Leonardo DiCaprio these days...
#3. Pitt finished 3rd in the nation last year in sacks per game (3.8) Jaylen Twyman opting out hurts, but Pitt adds Rashad Weaver and Keyshon Camp, both of whom missed essentially the entire 2019 season. Patrick Jones II is a potential 1st round pick.
4. You can watch Preseason All-American S Paris Ford hit dudes like this @DiddyBop12_
5. And this
6. Like this
7. And also, this
8. Crack a couple cold ones with the boys and celebrate Pitt’s impending 10 wins in style https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1185357699946614785
9. In fact, you could say cheering for Pitt is a real......Slam Dunk *drowns in a sea of high-fives* https://twitter.com/joelassi/status/1175570291629658112
10. Are you a fan of a CFB powerhouse who wants to feel something for once? Let us introduce you to “Pitt-ing”
-Losing games you lead by 20
-Coming back to win games you once lead by 20
-Beating FCS schools ugly
-Beating nationally-ranked teams ugly

You’ll feel all the feelings! https://twitter.com/bannersociety/status/1180692702322724864
11. I know what you’re probably thinking.

“That sounds terrible. Why would I subject myself to that??”

Not so fast, my friend...
13. Those ugly and chaotic wins and losses allow for moments like this:

Pitt’s colossal 13-9 upset over #2 WVU, keeping them out of the 2007 Championship a week before bowl selection
Pitt’s 26-21 win over #10 USF in 2008
15. Who could forget the 42-39 win over totally-not-our-rival Penn State, keeping the eventual B1G champs out of the playoff in 2016?
16. Or giving Deshaun Watson and the 2016 National Champion Clemson Tigers their only loss of the season just a few weeks later? In Death Valley, no less...
17. What about the 24-14 win over #2 Miami in 2017? In his FIRST career start, Kenny Pickett kept The U out of the Playoff with this race to the pylon
18. And of course, ending #15 UCF’s 27-game regular season winning streak with the Pitt Special last year
