[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129451970, member: 1754664"] Going back to WWII, which is way before I was born, and I'm pretty old, Pitt has 1 national title to our zero. I'm old enough to remember 1976 but, I wasn't even in college yet and many people were either not born yet or are not old enough to remember it. It's beginning to be a boring story of glory days. After a slow start you guys dominated the Backyard brawl in the early days. By 1956, you had a 37-11-1. advantage. We lead 29-24-2 since then which is probably beyond the lifetimes of everyone here discussing this. Over the past 30 years, we lead 16-9-2. The last 20, we lead 11-6. The last 10, we lead 5-2. You owned the first half of the 20th Century. Since then, we have done better and, as you can see, our advantage grows stronger the more recent a period you choose. Props on your domination in the leather helmet days. I'll admit I'd rather have even a 40 year old national championship trophy than none, but by every other measure we have been the superior program for a long time. [/QUOTE]
