For me Pitt WVU 1970 I was eight and I still remember the Pitt comeback and how happy my father was.
The Greatest Pitt Football Game You Attended
- Thread starter TFBaum
- Start date
When I was 7 my grandfather and me walked to the train station downtown and walked behind the Cadets who marched to Oakland. We lost that game but I was hooked ever since.
That would be mine too. Great memories of that game. Joel Klimek from Seanor, Pa catching a 2 point conversion. Bill Pilconis wide open for the win. First time I ever stood on artificial turf.
Last game at Pitt stadium against the Domers and the 2016 win against the Nits are up there too.
Cincinnati would have topped them all but.....Marty Gilyard happened.
EDIT: I can't leave out the 2000 game against the Nits at 3 rivers. I'll never forget the rising crescendo of noise as Rutherford reversed field and it became apparent he was going to score. I briefly lost my freaking mind and was whipping both middle fingers at the Nit faithful. I guess that wasn't nice in retrospect. Well, maybe it was.

1976 Pitt-PSU, on the way to the national championship and the first time Pitt ever beat Paterno.
1975 Pitt-Notre Dame, Dorsett ran for 303 yards, still the record for an opposing running back against the Domers.
Can't remember the year, but during the Wannstedt era - Pitt-Notre Dame, where Pitt won at ND in four overtimes.

The 2016 Clemson game for several reasons that all add up to the best ever.
Pitt over Penn State in 1976 as we punched our ticket to the sugar bowl and destiny.
Pitt Notre Dame 1999 final home game at Pitt Stadium.
and the winner is.........Pitt Clemson 2106. There were scoring swings and big plays from both teams too numerous to count. There was the final 6 minutes of that game that would be hard to script even by Grantland Rice on LSD. There was also an egotistical Clemson coach who was just begging to lose. There was a poignant moment by the Doozer who told his kicker “I choose you”. In the end there was stunned disbelief by the home crowd and 2000 Pitt fans exiting for their cars hoping that it wasn’t just a dream.
and it wasn’t and myself and my family were there.

The 2016 clemson game for me has to include the entire day. What a beautiful on campus stadium with absolutely the best of the best fanbase. Great day all around
I did the 8 hours Friday evening after work and the 8 hours sunday morning back to PA. Great time
Its a long drive but generally not too much traffic outside of Charlotte if you go that way.
82' Sugar Bowl. After putting up with Dawg crap for all the days leading up to the game it was a great feeling to walk up and down Bourbon Street with all the Pitt fans screaming Let's Go Pitt at the Georgia fans. Loudest I've ever heard it, including when the Pete was rocking.
That's exactly what I'd say, too. That game was so much fun, especially the second half. Tony D. lining up as a fullback and throwing a curve at PoopPants, may he burn in hell.
There were a lot of great games I attended, mostly at old Pitt Stadium, but that was the at the top by a mile.
I’m having a hard time picking a better one then at wvu in 97. The va tech, louuuuuuuuuusaka polite game was up there too.
