MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Mindful of resurrecting "The Backyard Brawl," West Virginia athletics director Shane Lyons said he plans to reach out to Pitt once the Panthers settle on their new AD.


During an hour-long appearance on MetroNews "Sportsline" Monday night, Lyons said both programs could benefit from restarting the always-intense football series, which has been on hiatus since 2011 when conference realignment intervened.

Lyons replaced Oliver Luck as the Mountaineers' athletics director in February. Pitt has yet to hire a successor for Steve Pederson, who was fired Dec. 17.


"That's on my radar," Lyons said, "Obviously at this point I'm kinda waiting to see who their athletic director is. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I have a relationship with that individual to be able to work something out."


To that end, Pitt chancellor Patrick Gallagher told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette he hopes the forthcoming AD gives "strong consideration" to scheduling West Virginia.

Yawn...who cares?

They aren't much better than Marshall

at this point and with even fewer fans. I'd rather see rotations of VT, tOSU, Kentucky, NC State, Tenn. UMd, Rutgers, rather than an annual diet of yinzers with half the games played at Hienzer Field.

I'm glad to see where he's taking a 'wait and see' approach before getting back in bed with that bunch.

The proximity of the two programs to each other makes good sense if for no other reason....just like the matchup between WVU and Maryland. Even the away games would be cheaper for the team, travel-wise. We can argue all we like about teams recent records and whether those records makes a good matchup, but most years this game was usually a slugfest, with the exception of a few banner performances by one team or the other. Plus, we would be playing a Power 5 school as part of our OOC schedule. I'm all for trying to rotate in VTech, Penn State, tOSU, etc......but it would be nice to have a constant rival game to anticipate every year.

Lyons has to be diplomatic with his response to scheduling questions concerning Pitt and Marshall, but most fans don't won't either school back on our schedule. PItt isn't much better than IUP and there are a lot of schools that we should try to schedule before Pitt or Marshall.

I'm taking the time proven tact of the Ole Hillbilly Saying on this one, "Fool Me Once, Shame On You, but Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me". It's very difficult for me to forget that both PITT and SYRACUSE left West Virginia University hanging in the wind when they made the jump to the ACC.

The Mountaineers were abandoned by these two "old friends" to die on the vine and fend for themselves when both could have demanded the ACC offer West Virginia membership as a condition of their own acceptance of the conference's offers.


........and there's another Ole Hillbilly Saying that comes to mind when dealing with these two. Be cautious Director Lyons, be cautious.

I agree on Marshall, but who else should we try to schedule that

isn't already on the books? We have tech, md and psu in future schedules.

 

[Htgn. Eer]

Probably won't happen, but I like the idea of Pitt as a permanent game at home when we only have 4 league games and on the road when we have 5.

Then use the other two for a cupcake at home and a national type name.

Re: I agree on Marshall, but who else should we try to schedule that


Ohio State, Rutgers, Virginia, and maybe even Kentucky (football only). And let's see if we can schedule VT, MD, and PSU for additional games before scheduling this has-been program.

Even their own fans don't want to watch them play football any more.

Ohio State, yes.

The rest are far less interesting personally and nationally than Pitt.

 

[WarezEER]

Paint.............the line you are trying to quote came from George (Dubby) Bush and that ain't exactly what he said. Care to try again? George is a personal friend. I met him when I lived in Texas. Come on now...............work with me. Warez

George Dubya eh........... let me see if I can recall. Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Bingo!!! I think I got it, "Walk softly and carry an Armored Tank Division with you".

WVU was winning 2 out of every 3 games for the last 20 years (real reason why some Pitt fans don't want to play us). And I don't think playing an ACC bottom dweller helps our OOC schedule. Pitt and Marshall now have a series ( you can go to that exciting slugfest ). Keep Pitt off of our schedule!!!

Lyons referenced that he was waiting for the new Pitt Athletic Director. It has now been close to 4 months since Pederson was fired and about a dozen candidates have turn down that position. Pitt is going to have to settle for some mid-major candidate looking for a little more money or the Chancellor will just have to assume the duties - he has no collegiate athletic experience but couldn't do any worse than Pederson especially when hiring coaches.
