until at least 2026... Pitt & Penn State have played 96 times... This game is special... It is what caused me to fall in love with college football...
In the 1990s, my wife even discussed the rivalry with Joe... He agreed that this rivalry game was one that made the season rich... ...Boy, he did NOT like Jackie Sherrill!
It saddens me that Sandy et al wish to not continue games that so many Pennsylvanians treasure...
I'm not a fan of Joe Starkey's... But he's right... 'Penn State treats Pitt the way Pitt treats West Virginia. The phrase could be, “We'll play you when it's convenient for us.”'

As a self-avowed Pitt fan who loves all of PA football, I do care more about PA football. It's what I knew (growing up in Harrisburg). It's what I wish my children to know... Neighbor against neighbor... Brother against brother...
Check out minute 18:47 of this... It epitomizes the rivalry...
Even James Franklin admits he's in favor of it... http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/eye...es-franklin-in-favor-of-playing-pitt-annually
So, what gives?
