Pitt sells out. 62,644 tickets, including two that belong to my father-in-law, a long-time Pitt fan (his father played for them in the 1920s), who never bought season tickets before. We’re going to have more fans than Woodland Hills-Mt. Lebanon. I can’t believe it. A far cry from the mid-1990s, when it was just Chas, Pat and 226 other fans sitting in the big bowl on Cardiac Hill. It’s nice to finally be one of those people who can scoff at the Johnny-Come-Latelys.
Now we’ve got to start playing some real opponents in the early season. They’re drawing up the 2005 schedule as we speak: Homewood Montessori in the first game and a tough match-up with Chatham’s field hockey team in the second. I think we can take ’em.
