I can't believe my level of excitement for a YSU game...but this feeling of nervous anticipation is also taking me back to another era.
My first game as a Pitt student was Sept 25, 1976, the Magical Mystical Season. I couldn't sleep the night before, I was nervous all morning, I got on a bus to Oakland around 9am even though I had no pregame plan. Ended up in the student section closest to midfield about halfway up real early and was drunk and high and even missed the kickoff focusing instead on the band running back into their seats (did I say that I was high?). I was so excited to watch our 3rd ranked Panthers beat the overmatched Temple Owls and
stayed in Oakland celebrating into the night. I didn't sober up until just before 5pm Mass on Sunday.
Boy, it would be nice to think we could have another season like that in the coming years. And that is what today with a new HC, new Staff, new AD and new Chancellor are offering us all - a new beginning and an opportunity to dream (& remember)
H2P!!! TPAM!!! MIGHTY!!!
(Did I start drinking too early?)
