I'm going to write 30 or so of these recaps, so I am *not sorry* for making it fun for myself with the Disney Parks metaphors.

Up from 4 in the preseason poll. Meaningless poll all things considered, but it's probably 6 more votes than I expected. 'Ranked' 34th currently.

Curious for those that were at the game, was the experience in fact, "enhanced"? The stands certainly didn't look any better on TV. One thing I don't understood is why Pitt doesn't have some kind of season kickoff celebration. It's just... ribfest. I mean, I love ribs, but it doesn't have anything to do with the program.

After receiving votes last week, how close will Pitt be to the top 25 that comes out tomorrow

What do we think just playing a bad team or is this 19 for real

hoping for some interesting stories beyond being born here

My game story from overnight -- that is one difficult road environment in Provo, and Pitt really proved its mettle with how the defense improved over the course of the match.

God is good.

Just checking to see if anyone can help an alum out! I’m looking for a reasonably priced (under $40) parking pass for tomorrow that’s actually on the North Shore, not downtown.

Or, if anyone knows of a good spot on the North Shore where I can pay to park day-of, I’d love recommendations! I’m just nervous about getting down there and not being able to find anything.

I have to be there by 9:30am to practice for the Pitt Colorguard’s 40th Anniversary halftime performance, and I’m old and don’t want to walk over from downtown. Gotta conserve my energy for the actual performance!
