Makes me sick? Losing. And that's exactly what we did for too many years while clinging to some romantic idea of the old ways. I watched the '98 team, too, and they were great men. But you know what else that era had? Stability. You think we have that now? The whole landscape changed and you either adapt or get left behind. Look at what happened to our rivalry with West Virginia. That was torn apart by realignment, not the portal. So you tell me, should we just sit here and watch our program fade because we're not "renting a roster"? That's how you end up in the Tire Bowl every December. I remember when we had leaders, sure, but I also remember the lean years under Walt Harris where we just didn't have the tallent. If a coach can use the portal to bring in a hungry kid who wants to prove himself and help us win now, I'm all for it. This isn't 1976 anymore. The kids have different options. Our job is to win football games, and if that means building a team with transfers who want to wear the Pitt script, then so be it. Loyalty left the building when conferences started chasing TV money.
