10 Reasons why Syracuse will beat Pitt: the photos

10) Pitt is 0-2 versus BCS teams* and 0-2 on the road this season.

Maybe this is about time Pitt turns the season around. Or more likely over a cliff.

9) We have Dome field advantage.

Sellout or not, this is OUR house.

8) Even Greggers team won @ Notre Dame. Pitt didn't.

Surprised? Confused? Not as much as this guy!

7) Ryan Nassib > Tino Sunseri/Pat Bostick

Or even a hybrid of the two (Tit Sunstick?).

6) Pitt is too distracted by off-the-field issues

On the field they'll be too distracted by RGLCL's gaze from the Syracuse sideline.

5) Pitt destroyed Cody Catalina's knee last year

Actually this isn't an advantage at all. This is just a friendly reminder to Max Suter (in case he's reading) to unleash hell on whatever Pitt player dares to touch the ball.

 4) Syracuse almost beat Pitt the last time they were in the Dome in '08.

Y'know, the same Syracuse team that lost at home to Akron earlier that season.

3) The recession has hit Pitt hard

The 'stache literally cannot pay his players enough money to win this game.

2) The Pitt mascot looks like some guy in fuzzy pajamas with a mardi gras cat head on.

Again, not really an advantage. But it's true!

1) We have HCDM and Scott Shafer. They have Dave Wannstache. 'nuff said.

Actually, I could rewrite this exact statement 10 times and it still would bear repeating

*Note: I am including Utah as a BCS team in this stat because they're going to the PAC-10 next season. Notre Dame excluded on the priciple that they're total douchebags.

Shit, Marrone has the beginning to some

Emperor Palpatine wrinkles in that pic. Great pic of neck veins for GROB, and love #9, when is that from, the Minnesota game (or do I see tiny WVU jerseys on the field)?

Trying to hit off me is like trying to eat soup with chopsticks.

One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
