Pitt played one heck of a half of football last night. Unfortunately, WVU played a better half of football. No blame game here. You win as a team and loose as a team. As a long time Pitt fan, it was just a hard pill to swallow. What bothers me even more about the whole thing is that this may be the last Backyard Brawl. With no more Penn State rivalry anymore, this was the one game to get your blood pumping if you are a Pitt fan. Something is being lost here. With the demise of the Big East and both schools headed to different conferences, what will we look forward to now. I hated when BC, Miami, and Virginia Tech jumped ship a few years back. Pitt and WVUs moves don't sit well with me either. I suppose it is a sign of the times. Big East football and basketball held a warm spot in the hearts of many fans. I hope for the best for both schools and their programs. Perhaps in the future we will meet again. Hopefully Pitt will win next time!
