Since they're so obsessed with Pitt's NINE national championships, I say throw the number in their faces. Send Jordan Whitehead out for the coin toss. Alone. So the FIRST thing they see is 9!

Leave children 18 and younger at home and don't permit cutouts of Paterno and Sandusky in the stadium.
 
Why not bring back the original, uncensored Pitt song? It was changed for "politically correct" reasons - namely, Pitt fans would shout "Penn State Sucks" until that part of the song was altered.

That was never part of the "original" song to be altered in the first place, but people were free to shout whatever they were motivated to.

That's not the original song! LOL. It's a big game I understand, but I hate it when we change our fight song for those losers! They laugh at Pitt fans for doing that. They say we hate PSU more than we love Pitt, and that just isn't even close to being true, at least for me. They are relevant to me because we are playing them over the next four years and because we recruit alot of the same players. It's a rivalry no doubt, but it's not the only game on the schedule.

Hail to Pitt!!! Fight Pitt Fight!!!

They altered the original musical arrangement...eliminated an entire section. What Pitt fans choose to shout in that section should be decided by Pitt fans, and not by university censors.

Instead, without that "bridge", that option was eliminated.

University censors? It IS the University's song.

Sure, it's the university's song, but do you know the process that caused the song to be changed?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I was told that the change was the decision of one person who took it upon himself to make the change.

Officially altering an official university song is no small matter. Shouldn't such a decision be something that's required to be brought forth before a committee? (If an authorized committee did make the decision, then I'll stand corrected.)
 
For those of you not going to the game.... make sure NONE of your tickets get into the hands of cultist... I'd eat the loss and rather see yellow the a pedu fan..!.!

I'll be pretty disappointed if anyone doesn't use those old lyrics.

You're entitled to your opinion, but why not let the fans choose what they want to yell?
Because stupid people don't deserve a vote.
It's moronic to complain about tradition and ignore the actual tradition.

Why do you need it sanctioned by Pitt to prove how low class you are??

My point isn't an opinion. It's factually the right words to the fight song. It's not up for debate.

Yep. That's how SP thought, too. He sure knew how to please the fan base.

Play the song as it was originally written: if the fans want to shout, "Fight Pitt Fight!, then they will. They don't need the PC Police defining what constitutes classy behavior - especially at a college football game.

maybe pitt should change its alma mater, they aren't using the right words. the right words (translated from the german) to pitt's alma mater:

God save Francis the Emperor, our good Emperor Francis!
Long live Francis the Emperor in the brightest splendor of bliss!
May laurel branches bloom for him, wherever he goes, as a wreath of honor.
God save Francis the Emperor, our good Emperor Francis!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied#Melody
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gott_erhalte_Franz_den_Kaiser

even the modern lyrics to deutschlandlied were written in 1841, although it wasn't adopted as germany's national anthem until 1922.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschlandlied#Hoffmann.27s_lyrics

pitt adopted the music and came up with its own lyrics in 1908.

my point isn't an opinion. it's not up for debate. those are "factually" the "right" words to the alma mater. your ignorance on this proves you're stupid and don't deserve a vote. right?

better have your smelling salts ready in september as a lot of those low-class dumb-dumbs are going to be giving you the vapors, a lot of "penn state sucks" "p-e-n-n-s-t sucks" chants will be heard that day.

I go back and watch some old videos of this quite often. Just recently got to hear it after the Jerome Lane dunk. I would love for this to come back!
