We're in Pittsburgh!

[RTE]

LOL! My mother in law is from Altoona, PA originally. I know all about it from her extended family. "Oh my garsh!"

Oh, MY garsh! My aunt and uncle lived out by Fox Chapel.

if anyone makes it to that area, go have a meal at Lucca on Craig St, right near the museum...hidden gem...you won't be disappointed

Hey, appreciate you and the other Pitt fans who have come over to join in the game discussion and for handing out the local’s advice. This has always been one of the great things about college football.

Some past home and aways have stood out as great traveling experiences because of the interactions with the opposing team’s fan base. Oregon and Oklahoma, for example. I think Pittsburgh will fit that category for the people making the trip.

Guess you'll have to have some Iron City Beer

Washes down a Primanti Brothers sandwich!

Checked that box yesterday... Excellent

If you're going to the baseball game.. end of 4th inning at the Skull bar in the outfield.. big orange gathering

 

[lukeneyland]

Arrived this afternoon. Ate downtown at the Foundry between PNC and I am still calling it Heinz. We ran into some Big Orange Fans eating there, too.

Give them Hell

While I am not defending the practice.... as long as it is still legal, expect Pitt (and other teams) to have defensive players down on the field with a "cramp" at key moments of UT's drives to slow down the tempo.

The NCAA hasn't done anything to stop teams from doing it - so expect teams to keep doing it.

Leaving BNA…

 

[GRRN7MAXIMS]

Does anyone need two extra tickets? I am trying my best to get rid of these as my two kiddos are not going anymore. Section 107 Row O on aisle. David.weinstein@sevitahealth.com. Electronic transfer as soon as someone wants them.

 

[ru4real-really?]

Any relation to Thornton Melon?

uncle to Honey Dew and cousin of Water!

Your fans have been talking about how “cheap” and “bush league” it is that we run the style of offense we do. What is actually bush league is players faking cramps. What we do is part of the game, faking injuries to alter the game is true bush league.

Leaving BNA…

My son is at BNA now and said there is a lot of orange.

Go Vols!!!

 

[Vol in Buckeye Land]

Yinzers* get a kick outta Tennessee- speak, too!

* Yinz going to the game?

Ain’t much difference between yinz and you’uns, far as I can tell. Y’all is not native to East TN, it’s an import from further South. You’uns is the true Appalachian dialect. I wonder how people in PA ended up saying something similar…a mountain thing, perhaps?

 

[badkarma]

Raise some hell for the entire fan base!

 

[feathersax]

Give them Hell

Wyatt Earp said it best

 

[Orange_Rush]

We’re headed over in the morning.

 

[MAD]

Pitt fans don’t understand our passion.

I’m going to watch the game just to see the orange in the stand.

To paraphrase Destiny's Child, "I don't think they're ready for this jelly". GBO!

 

[StarRaider]

It is actually the "Carnegie Museum of Natural History". It is on the border of the campuses of Pitt and Carnegie-Mellon universities. It is not affiliated with Carnegie-Mellon University, though.

Lots of things around Pittsburgh are named after Andrew Carnegie.

my BIL is a descendant of Andrew Carnegie. Gots lots of mu-la.

Lol. Iron City has a bad rap but it’s as good as any other cheap drinker. But there are a whole lot better options for local beer in Pittsburgh.

Because the two are distinctly different and have nothing in common.

A lot of the Pittsburgh dialect originates from Scotch Irish immigrants including yinz, jagoff, nebby, etc.

How well do you know East Tennessee?

 

[Orange&White]

I’m about to catch these wings to the steel city and BNA is crawling with orange crusaders. VolNation is coming!

What is funny is how different the dialect developed in the three parts of the state here, we all speak differently in Tennessee depending on where you are from.. Y’all be safe travelin’ !
