Football: perhaps the ultimate defining attribute of the American college experience. Every fall, thousands of Pitt students look forward to a riveting season, filled with friends, fun, and loads of school spirit. Unfortunately, reality rarely means our expectations…
Pregame
Expectations: LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!!!
Reality: You’re tired, groggy, and let’s be honest, you’re probably still hung-over from last night.
Tailgate
Expectations: Burgers, hot-dogs, PBR… What more could you ask for?
Reality: The PBR catches up with you and OMG THE PORT-O-POTTY LINE IS LONGER THAN CHIPOTLE’S AND YOUR BLADDER IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE.
September Games
Expectations: Short-shorts, perfect Pittsburgh weather, and touchdown after touchdown after touchdown!
Reality: It’s about a billion degrees, you’re sweating where you shouldn’t be, and we haven’t even scored yet. It doesn’t help that you’re STARVING and the cheapest food in all of Heinz Field is $8 nachos. #no
November Games
Expectations: Snuggly sweaters and delicious hot chocolates… Games seem like the perfect fall activity…
Reality: You are reminded that fall only lasts about five minutes in Pittsburgh, and by the second quarter, you’ve lost all feeling in your extremities and that lukewarm hot chocolate is doing nothing to help the situation.
But do we keep going? OF COURSE we do… Because there’s one thing that makes it aaaaaall worthwhile…
H2P!
