Tonight Pitt battles Cincinnati in a pretty big game on the road. Win, and the pain from the Youngstown State game goes away a bit. Lose and it's borderline panic in the streets. The season might not be lost if Pitt starts out 0-2, but with Virginia Tech coming to town next week, an 0-3 start would be quite possible.

Join us at 8:00 p.m. tonight for the open gamethread. Many of the peeps from Cardiac Hill should be around and voice your frustrations with us. Trust me, there will be at least a few. Just hoping there won't be a bombshell with several suspensions right before the game again.

In the meantime, leave your predictions for game in the comments section before we get started - who you got?
