Ok, we've had a couple days to lick our wounds and blame everyone under the sun...but not really much to analyze on the last game. Plain ol' butt whipping in every phase. So instead, I'd like to vent about a much smaller issue that gets me in a fuss....
Why does the Port Authority use a Penn State train to take people to and from the Pitt games @ Heinz? And why does Pitt administration sit by and take another backhanded dig like usual?
If you don't know what I am talking about, Penn State has bought sponsorship/advertising of a PAT "T" train whereby the entire train is painted in PSU wording, logos, colors, etc..sort of like a PSU shrink wrap around the train car. Fine, if they have the cash and want to buy some exposure in Western PA, then I guess they can sponsor a car. But why does PAT run this car during Pitt home games? Are they oblivious? Does someone at PAT get a good laugh out of this?
I mean they have plenty of other cars in their fleet that are not the PSU ones, because some of these run during games too, I am sure they could pull this one out of service on Pitt football home days. I am 2-for-2 this year in catching the PSU car home from the games. Nothing epitomizes Pitt football's place in the local landscape more to me than walking out of Heinz from a Pitt football game and seeing a Penn St train waiting on the Heinz platform. I mean I just can't imagine a taxi, uber, or bus in Pitt Script and colors being allowed to pick up at Beaver Stadium after a game.
By the way, tip of the cap to the PSU folks for sponsoring this train. Very well-played troll job and I am sure the PSU folks in charge knew what they were doing. I'm not really mad at PSU for this ....I'm annoyed that Pitt doesn't have enough self-respect to put an end to it.
Oh well, maybe WVU can sponsor the free end-of-game drinks for students next game??
