A sad day in central PA.
.
You SOLD them? For cryin' out loud, I may have bought it from you. It has been the source of much laughter at backyard tailgates.
Mine is not for sale. Joe would not approve and he's got a mean right hook.Had one in late 70's - early 80's. Used to wear it to high school. Looking back, I am amazed nothing was ever said to me (by school officials or my parents)! Have to admit, with the series renewed for a few games, wish I still had it, though I'm a bit more prudish iny advanced age
I guess if they were sold surreptitiously then, it could be done now, too. Hmmm. These days a simple JPEG photo can wind up anywhere. Maybe two years from now I'LL make a killing in the Beav parking lots. A new generation of fans should know what the old-timers really think of Pitt.If someone makes it again, I'll buy it
I think we should have a reunion at next year's Pitt game. I'm in. But I won't drink Iron City beer. Spit it out in college. I don't think the Clean Water Act has improved it over the years.
Here they are, front and back images of the classic anti-Pitt T-shirt that was available sometime in the late 70s in the parking lots outside Beaver Stadium. My cardboard JoePa approved, so he wears the shirt year-round. (Sorry he's a little fuzzy; we just shared some bourbon.) Those of you who have followed PSU for a long time may have seen this shirt. Does anyone else have one?
or that a reunion of people wearing them is illegal. Spread the word. There could be hundreds out there. Think of the Tweets.

My cardboard Joe likes his shirt. He refuses to take it off. I think he's been wearing it for over two years, but he's paper-thin and doesn't have a lot of perspiration, so I don't bother throwing it in the wash.
Concur. But I still have the button that says, "If you can't go to college, go to Pitt"
Why do you keep saying "us" - you are the poster child for a Troll. Funny how you only defend what is said about Pitt on this board. I could care less about them but I will say the people on the Liar are a special breed of idiot when it comes to the 10 daily PSU threads. Maybe you should spend more time on your home turf over there with kindred souls.
And that is the bottom line. Pitt is a great school, but we are better. My wife graduated from Pitt and she understands this. That's one reason why both our daughters, who were terrific students and were accepted at both schools, chose Penn State.
The trolls are constantly riled up. That's why they are trolls. When they come here, if they don't find something to respond to, they will start a thread of their own. If we respond, it makes things worse. If we ignore them, other trolls respond and they still crap up the Board. The mods are the only ones who can stop them, or slow them down, and for reasons I don't understand, they seldom do that.
Back in the 60's they used to sell an anti-Pitt shirt. It looked like a regular Hanes t-shirt till you raised your arms and then in both armpits was printed the Pitt logoI had one of those for years. Then one day the same fate befell it that ended Jerry Seinfeld's Goldenboy.
Some people prefer an urban campus. My oldest daughter chose Penn State, but she has often said she may have been happier at Pitt. She found Penn State a bit dull. She now works in New York City because she enjoys the hustle and bustle of city life. I have a good friend who lives in the western suburbs of Pittsburgh with his wife (both PSU grads). Their son was accepted at both Pitt and Penn State and chose Pitt, even though he had been to Penn State many times and was totally familiar with the campus. It just wasn't the right fit for him. Pitt was and he is now a junior there, totally happy with his choice. In addition, if you want to work during your college years, Pittsburgh offers more, and varied, job opportunities than State College. Cost can be a factor. Many Pitt students commute and save money living at home. Pitt has some departments/programs that are better than ours. Penn State isn't for everyone.
That reminds me. I have some "Wipe Woody" toilet paper with a picture of Woody Hayes on each sheet. I got it back in the 70's when we played OSU.
I would characterize this analysis as "fair" Gambit!
