College Football scheduling has become a true science over the last few years. The growing trend of scheduling out-of-conference opponents 10 years ahead of time not only is becoming more popular, but for fans it's cool for five minutes. Look, I DON'T CARE who Pitt plays in 2030, I care who they play in 2019. That being said, we're gonna take this trend and drive it like we stole it; so here are the list of teams we want Pitt to play before we die in 2090:

Alabama Crimson Tide

YEA BUDDY! WE WANT BAMA! ROLL PITT Y'ALL! Saban vs Narduzzi, the heavy-weight fight that we've always wanted to see!

...But for real this would be awful. We'd be blacked out in Gold 1 before going into the game. We absolutely DO NOT want Bama... Let's now start with our TRUE list.

Michigan Wolverines

Go Blue! If you don't know me (Aaron), I have been a Michigan fan my entire life.I have always dreamed of this match up and would love to see it happen. Don't worry Pitt fans, I would be rooting for Pitt all the way. I have dreams of visiting the Big House, and it would only be better to visit while Pitt is playing there. Maybe one day Heather Lyke can make it happen!

USC Trojans

I was watching the UCLA Softball team this weekend and I'd love to see our colors vs their colors on the same field, but in the end USC > UCLA. C'Mon who wouldn't want to go to LA for a long weekend? I'd take the whole week off to do reenactments of La La Land all over the city. But less importantly, I want to go to a game at the Rose Bowl more than any other sporting event (including the National Championship). Match-up-wise, this would make for a clash of historical programs.

Oregon Ducks

We have no desire to really visit Eugene, Oregon, but the main reason we want to see Pitt play Oregon is because of the COLORS. Can you imagine all the bright colors on the field? Now that would be the definition of a true color rush game. 

Texas Longhorns

The football history and Austin. I keep hearing how awesome Austin is as a city and I need to experience it. Plus the southern BBQ and Tex Mex! Screw El Paso (bad memories), Pitt needs to go to a legit Texas destination.

Boise State Broncos

If anything is ever going to take us to Idaho, it will be to watch Pitt play at Boise State. We would love to see Pitt play on their blue field and it makes it even more enticing that Boise State is a consistent Top 25 team. 

Hawaii Rainbow Warriors

I'm sure you've noticed a trend in all 3 of my (Ryan) picks. They're all destinations! The Rainbow Warriors not only could put up a good game, but I'd spend the whole week learning the Haka. Emphasis on learning the Haka. Plus, Pitt fans deserve this vacation.


Let us know what teams you would like to see Pitt play! Thanks for reading and Hail to Pitt!

-Aaron and Ryan, TGYK
