couldn’t disagree more. Pitt is chock full of young talent and are only getting better and better recruits.
The panthers are lucky to fill 1/2 of their stadium on a regular basis. Maybe its the lack of alcohol available? Maybe its because they play in a Pro Stadium even though USF looked packed for that Thursday night game. I think that getting rid of Pitt Stadium was a terrible idea but we just had to have a new stadium for the steelers:stick: I went to see Pitt play the U back in like 99 with my HS football team. I clearly remember that stadium going insane with people dressed up like idiots which I would love to have back.
true, i’ve always said pittsburghers like beer first and sports second. and if anyone needs proof just got to a steeler game. most fans of the sport of football are at home watching. Pittsburgh isn’t a college town and also isnt a big city. Pitt is a victim of these circumstances. Miami isn;t a college town but is a larger city. The U was so successful at the time they needed to be. Sports and CFB grew so much in the 80’s. Pitt floundered big time in that era. look at the teams that get big crowds… mostly all college towns or major cities. Also, pittsburgh is such a hypocritical HOMER town… people will root for the steelers because they are from “pittsburgh” but then root for PSU or WVU… Steelers fans have turned me away from the steelers. working in pro sports have turned me off from pro sports. Pitt has to be one of the hardest coaching jobs their is from the stand point of having to play second fiddle to a pro team and a college team thats not even in the city. Pitt is comparable to the U of Minesota. both play in pro stadium, both are second to the pro team and both are not in Large population cities/college town.
Who knows why but the lack of enthusiasm today for Pitt football in this city is almost embarrassing. Maybe Pitt needs a BLACKOUT :greddy: Haha. What if Pitt took the bull by the horns and played a 2 to 1 series? That could possibly spark the rivalry all over again and have it back to a 1 for 1 deal after 3 years.
again over coverage of the steelers in the media, lack of coverage of pitt, worship of PSU. Fox sports PITTSBURGH makes me sick. dont tell me “panther fans first” when you say the same for WVU and PSU. Pitt is coming off a Big win and yet still the same tired ass sport reporters give pitt a jab in the stomach. the only person that is worth a damn when it comes to pitt is paul zeise. I also would like to state for the record that i think he’s a clown in all other areas.
I hate going to Heinz field. everything is a hassle there. why make people stand in line for a search when all you do is check dirrectly down the sides of someone. i could have a mack10 strapped to my inner thigh and they’d never know. if you are gonna make me stand in line for it…DO IT! if not just let everyone in. As if northside isnt land locked enough…lets pretend to build a casino and then a light rail system that is totally not needed. the only thing heinz is good for is the scoreboard. other than that the place sucks. i’m only 5’8" and i got a fucken cup holder jammed into my knee every game. how can build a brand new stadium and have such an uncomfortable seat! keep in mind the cup holder was built for cups with a handle which are not sold in the stadium. the gap for the handle causes normal cups and bottle to tip over. and because they will not sell you a bottle of water/pop with the cap you lose about $2.00 worth even if ur quick to pick it up. if i didn;t know better i’d think heinz field opperations was run by luke ravenstahl and dan onorato. Pitt Stadium was the perfect size and design stadium for college football. a traditional bowl. 3rivers… perfect for steelers football. heinz…garbage cantilever design that is the new cookie cutter. all wrong for football. all for what, a view of the trees on mt washington?
