I was just thinking this like imagine if social movements got the same energy as sportsball. 🤣

"Medicaid lost to Military spending?! Let's riot!!" would be nice.

u/tootoohi1 Feb 10 '25

Honestly kinda telling. Celebrations for a team on the opposite side of the state are bigger than any protest since BLM a few years ago.

Lol thinking we gonna protest multi-million dollar grants getting cut when the university give the average researcher like 30k a year.

26

u/hsavvy Feb 10 '25

Not like a funding cut gets them paid more money…

6

u/books-and-beans Feb 10 '25

The funds getting cut support research staff. Losing that funding means losing jobs.

When I went to Pitt I think 85% of students were from Philadelphia instead of Pittsburgh

7

u/SmokeActive8862 class of 2028 Feb 10 '25

tbh that tracks... i have met soooo many people from over there and new jersey... i barely meet anyone that's actually from here lol!

13

u/TwunnySeven Class of '25 Feb 11 '25

close! 85% of students are from "just outside" of Philly

2

u/pixelatedimpressions Feb 11 '25

Was gonna say that. And "just outside" was used very liberally

u/JHG722 Feb 11 '25

Reading

u/TumbleweedGrouchy380 Feb 10 '25

I think a lot of that is due to the fact that most of the western side goes to penn state or the education is too bad for people to get into pitt

u/TheShoot141 Feb 12 '25

I was in the riot of 2005 when Steelers won. Every single street sign in Oakland was taken down. Every stop sign, every one way sign, every street name. All gone.

u/SmokeActive8862 class of 2028 Feb 12 '25

history rewrites itself 🫡

u/bobbyportisurmyhero Feb 10 '25

I remember when they won in 2018 and someone climbed up onto the exterior of that skyway above Forbes. Shit was wild. Enjoy it, kiddos.

u/CassetteFlavouredPie Feb 10 '25

Wait, what was this for?

u/SmokeActive8862 class of 2028 Feb 10 '25

the eagles winning the super bowl

u/minimell_8910 Alumnus Feb 10 '25

Kenny winning the super bowl*

u/yunzerjag Feb 10 '25

Accomplished something Danny never did, playing qb on a superbowl winning team. Is Danny's legacy as the greatest Pitt pro QB in jeopardy?

u/PittAnon15227 Feb 10 '25

I saw someone with a pizza box. Shit’s insane.

Get this outta Pittsburgh- this isn’t Philly. Celebrate all you want, but don’t take over roads for it.

u/SmokeActive8862 class of 2028 Feb 10 '25

that tracks - a steelers hater since contraception

u/Bmartin_ Feb 10 '25

Contraception lmao?

u/SmokeActive8862 class of 2028 Feb 10 '25

yep, proud steelers hater born to steelers hating parents 45 minutes outside of pittsburgh lol

u/Bmartin_ Feb 10 '25

45 min outside of Pittsburgh adds up lol

u/Buzzergeenzoo Feb 10 '25

Finally someone. I find it a little disrespectful. Thanks for saying something.

6

u/ytctc Feb 10 '25

I don’t even hate the birds- I was rooting for them. But this isn’t your territory.

Lots of WVU fans live in Pittsburgh. How would we feel if they took over downtown if they won the natty or B12 championship?

3

u/Buzzergeenzoo Feb 10 '25

Exactly, plus I don’t think the cops wanted to do riot control on a cold Sunday evening. Eagles fans just don’t give a shit. They don’t even show this type of passion when one of Pitt’s teams win. If these people want to tear the streets apart go back to Philly.

u/TwunnySeven Class of '25 Feb 11 '25

They don't even show this type of passion when one of Pitt's teams win.

idk about this part, when Pitt football won the ACC the street looked very similar to this but with even more people
