We knew Penn State-Pitt was going to be a night game broadcast by the Mouse Monopoly. We just didn’t know which station. Turns out they are going big for it:

One of college football’s most historic rivalries will be showcased in primetime when Pitt and Penn State clash at Heinz Field this September 8 in front of a national ABC television audience at 8 p.m.

This will be the first night kickoff for a Pitt-Penn State game in 31 years. On November 14, 1987, the Panthers defeated the Nittany Lions, 10-0, in an ESPN televised game at Pitt Stadium that started at 7:30 p.m.

This game is going to be one of the wilder ones.

Still not convinced that it will have College GameDay as well for it. But we will see.

On more of a downer note, Peter’s Pub is coming to an end.

With the end of Peter’s looming that is about it for bars I used to hit right in Oakland. I have a hard time counting Hemingway’s as the same place, because when I was at Pitt; Hemingway’s was more of a restaurant right on campus that out-of-town freshmen went with their parents because they didn’t know where else to go for dinner. Or it was the place you went into and then slipped across into C.J. Barney’s.

Peter’s Pub was always reliable. It never had the buzz as the place to go — other then on bucket or import night. It was not one that got in a lot of trouble for underage drinking.

Calico’s, The Decade, The Attic, Zelda’s, Denny’s, SOD, the list goes on.

Chief’s is still around, though.





87 was my frosh year. What a game that was! Used to play in a band at the decade, attic, graffiti, Nick’s fat city (south side). All gone.

Peter’s will be sorely missed. But the memories, at least the one’s I can recall, will live on forever (class of ’82). Birthdays (21st & 22nd), postgame celebrations, Thursday nites, etc. We visited it a couple of years back and it still smelled the same!

The South Side has been the place for young people to hang out and drink for some time. Long gone are the days of Oakland and Shadyside being the place to meet. Unlimited bar crawls available in South Side. In my day it was Wooden Keg, Wohlfarth’s Pub, Peter’s Pub and Bimbo’s/Zelda’s Greenhouse.
Most are long gone, Peter’s the last to go.

How about the UPSTAGE? I think it was either right above the attic…we used to hit that on Thursday nights.. I’m sure it’s long closed. The SOD was one of my favorites. I still remember the 3 songs I’d play in the jukebox every time I went in

Penn State again kicking ass for football recruits and Pitt’s big news of the week is the starting game of the Penn State game. Sick to my stomach.
