Title: An observation from yesterday
Post by: PirateVOL on September 12, 2021, 07:16:29 EDT
Tennessee fans are patriotic, Pitt fans not so much

After the anthem and flyover the Tennessee started shouting USA, USA
The Pitt fans responded by going go Pitt :bird:

I think Pittsburgh is in Canada.

Yep. After the anthem I thought it might've been coincidence. After the flyover, it was apparent that it wasn't. Incredibly low class.

I heard it too, thought “no way they are hearing a USA chant and making a collective, conscious decision to overpower that chant with their own” but Creek is right… they then did it again.   :dunno:

From my experience, there are a lot of "true blue" patriots in the Pittsburgh area...... I guess now it is obvious those peeps aren't Pitt fans. :patriot:

Was it mostly parents of the players? If so a lot of them likely are not from Pitt, and also .... well let's just leave it at that.   :naughty:

Absolutely NOT
The primary Visitor section was full, including a pep band
A fairly significant presence in the visitor nose bleeds as well
Significant other Pitt presence as thousands of "VOL" fans sold their tickets to Pitt fans, including premium sections

I also received feedback today that indicates this lack of diversity of thought is a common practice by Pitt fans

Sorry, that should've said after the first responders' introduction they did it again.

A typically obscure  comment by you.  Are you saying they are like Eagles fans in a NFL context?

No, that they routinely act as they did Saturday
Wasn't that obtuse

OBSCURE...not obtuse.  There is a big difference. 

I haven't called you obtuse and wouldn't, but your response was in fact obtuse.  :dielaughing:
