Townsend is a joke and an embarrassment to the university. Why isn’t he sending pep bands to every away game? He also refuses to do anything new at home games. We need to hire a HBCU band director to get things rolling.All I heard all night was SMUs garbage band.

Why is this even something that anyone should remotely care about ?

drinking and posting are never a good idea. And you do realize it was Heather that cut out the band trips, right? And it is literally a different halftime show every week.

Maybe put that $10/month toward Alliance412 instead of paying for premium. You don't offer much insight.

She got her ass fired for this.
 
I couldn’t care less about the band (and I was in the Pitt Band). But I do find it funny that they mostly play the same songs in the stands that they did 25 years ago.

You are kidding? Right?

Unless those pep band kids could come down and learn how to finish tackles instead of preparing to pose while watching the receiver race for 50 more yards I really don't see their importance.
 
While were at I have serious problems with some of the choices in the vending machines at the university. We might win more games if that problem was fixed.

Someone needs to explain to me how a university is willing to change the refrain in a 100 year old victory song because the fans used the refrain to deride its biggest rival…, talk about weak and pathetic … another nerdy/ Petersen decision that should have been reversed.

Boy, I thought I’ve heard at all after a loss. But look on the bright side at least you didn’t hear “the kids are all right” by the offspring for the 1 billionth time.

That's their best song along with "Snakes on a Plane." They wait until the game is almost over in the 4th to play it with an empty stadium and never get to finish it because of the piped in music.

I used to like that song. But thanks to them it’s overdone for me. You’d think they’d come up with something new after 2+ decades.

If you're talking about the Penn St sucks refrain....yes, I was totally in agreement with it. The refrain is silly and stupid. It gave too much attention to PSU. I came to Pitt not understanding it and the average PSU student wasn't that much focused on Pitt. That tradition needed to have been gone. It was embarrassing.

I know they play every year, but do you also find Alabama's chants during Dixieland Delight embarrassing?

Disagree … it was a 100 year old university anthem… only a couple of complete arrogant morons ignore and destroy an institutional tradition because of their puritanical views.

the average PSU student wasn't that much focused on Pitt....just wondering, what analytical method was used in making this determination?

I agree with you and never got the love of adding PSU to the Pitt fight song. It was embarrassing to hear it at a Pitt BB game vs Georgetown in the early 90s. It would be more embarrassing now since we've played them 8 times over the last 30+ years and they aren't on our schedule.

It was stupid, just sing the fight song.
