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

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.

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.

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.

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.
