Is capitalizing on Pitt's history. This weekend is driving the point home to this team and future recruits. If you play at Pitt - you are playing in a program that has and still is producing great players and you are part of a program that does not have to take a backseat to any program as far as star power.
This program can point to Revis, Donald, Fitz, Shady as current products and link them back to some of pro football's legends. The even in down and average years - Pitt's program produced players and great moments. The Palko tweet with the his shirt make that point. Eventhough Pitt was an average or slightly above average team - his comment after the ND game and how that kid played are just as much of Pitt's great history as Dorsett's 303 vs ND. That saying should be above the entrance to the field for every player to see. It was a classic comment at a big moment for THAT team. The comment is made more memorable because it can be placed in context with a history of all time great teams, players, and a proud history.
I am so f'ing proud to be a Pitt fan!
