Pittsburgh it is....

So, the word is official...the ACC's Pittsburgh Panthers will roll into Detroit and join the Falcons for the Little Caesar's Bowl on December 26.

Obviously, there will be a lot of time to dissect the game between then and now.  Just a quick look at their team...

They were 6-6 this year.  They have two nice wins...they beat Duke and they beat Notre Dame.  The Duke win was on the road.  They have also beaten New Mexico (3-9), Virginia (2-10), Old Dominion (8-4, hybrid FBS/FBS schedule), and Syracuse (6-6).

They lost to Florida State (like you don't already know), Virginia Tech (8-4), Navy (7-4), Georgia Tech (7-5), North Carolina (6-6) and Miami (9-3), so really, no bad losses...maybe Navy, but I mean no stinking awful losses.

They finished 6th in the ACC Coastal.

Again, more to come.  I think this is a good matchup for us.  This is a team from a BCS Conference and they have some nice wins and would be a top echelon MAC team.  We have beaten them within recent memory, however, and they were probably better than this year's team.  I think it is an excellent opportunity for us, and I am looking forward to it.
