Pitt vs WVU

So, I know I haven't posted in awhile and I know that this is a bit late, but I thought I'd write about my experience at the Pitt/WVU game. I have a sister who goes to Pitt and a sister who goes to WVU, so it was very interesting when my family and I took a trip out to Pittsburgh for the game. Of course, I was torn on which team to root for, but when I was placed in the student Pitt student section with my older sister, I ended up rooting for Pittsburgh. It was a fun game because it was so close, and it made me really wish that I went to a school that was big on football. Going to so many football games this year has made me realize my true interest in football, it's fun and exciting to be at the games. I love it! Besides the fact that my younger sister was quite disappointed after the game, we all had a good time. I went with my mom, dad, sisters, grandpa, cousin and friend. It was about half and half on which teams everyone was rooting for. Because my mom is a WVU alumni, she was rooting for the mountaineers of course. I was glad I was able to sit in the student section because We were on the bottom row, right next to one of the goal posts. The game was close, right up to the last second, but Pitt took the win, 19-15, in the ever so popular annual Backyard Brawl. I must say, Pitt really dominated the majority of the game. My sister says that WVU didn't play their best, which may be true, but Pitt did come out on top. What I was most excited about was the atmosphere. I don't really get the true feeling of a college football game here at Hofstra, maybe it's because our football team isn't "top notch," but I really don't know. That's one thing I wish we had though, is a good football team, it would make for a lot of good times. Oh well.
