Let’s have a little bit of a rundown on what’s gone on in
the last week since the Bowl Game was announced, shall we? I know, I know, the Steelers lost and you are
all depressed. Reading this blog would
be like giving a heroin addict another hit of smack, but take your chances and
read on anyways:
The best news of all is that Pitt and Penn State announced
that they would not only play in 2016 and 2017, but also in 2018 and 2019! This is VERY exciting news. I can’t tell you how much I have really missed
this rivalry. I would rather get the
shit kicked out of me and settle it on the field, rather than not play and
wonder what if…especially with a rivalry game.
I feel like it is good for Pitt, PSU, and the state of Pennsylvania. Penn State will travel to Heinz Field in 2016
and 2018, while Pitt will visit Happy Valley in 2017 & 2019. PSU leads the
all-time series 48-42-4…well, 46-42-4 since that whole scandal took away
victories in 1998 and 1999.
Next on the list of issues is a little tweet that was sent
out by former Panther Scott McKillop last week.
The former linebacker sent out a tweet saying that there is a rumor
going around that Pitt will be breaking out the Pitt Script for the bowl game
on January 5th! Now…this is
JUST a rumor. This is NOT official. It brings up the whole should Pitt do the
Pitt Script again? The answer is
simple….YES! This is not a hard issue to
tackle. Pitt is moving to the ACC and it
would be nice to make a big splash and make the alumni and fan base happy and
create some more talk. The change in
uniforms would do it and they can do it VERY easily. Break them out for the bowl game….then do
them for one home game and one away game a year! Everyone wins! Pitt gets more money from merchandise, they
don’t have to spend money to change the logo and colors of the school, and it
creates a buzz. Why is this so difficult
for some to understand?!?!?!?! If you
have not already, please do two things….follow @PittScriptLogo on twitter and
PLEASE go to his site and sign his petition.
Speaking of the bowl game, as mentioned before Pitt goes to
Birmingham, AL to take on Ole Miss on January 5th. If you are a male Pitt student and thinking
about going to the game…on the fence about going to the game, or just don’t
want to go, I plead with you to get down there.
Why? Because they are playing Ole
Miss!!!!!! No one does tailgating or has
better looking girls than Ole Miss.
There will be a huge party with hot girls…why not go down there and have
some fun and support the Panthers! Don’t
believe me? Do yourself a favor and
google two things: “Best College Tailgating” and “Hottest Girls at College
Tailgates” and see how far down the list Ole Miss is on there. They are pretty high both lists. Also check out Dixieland Delight by Clay Travis
if you need more proof.
Last on this little rundown…Pitt had another big recruiting
weekend. It went pretty well by all
accounts. I was waiting to post this as
I was hoping Chris Peak, at Pantherlair.com would send out a commit text to
members, but he has not as of yet. Some
of the bigger targets were OL targets Alex Officer and Jaryd Jones-Smith, DL
Justin Moody, RB JoJo Kemp (who sounds really close to coming to Pitt), and CB
Jaleel Hytchye. I would love to see
Moody and Jones-Smith commit more than anyone, but Hytchye would be really
nice. Hoping to hear a commit soon!
That’s all for now…try and not stress about the Steelers too
much, as it was fun to see Nate Diaz lose, the 30 for 30 Bo Jackson special,
and the Ravens and Bengals both blew it badly today! So, keep your chin up Pitt fans!
