Favorite Pitt memory: My favorite Pitt memory is when I had a double tailgate before a night football game. After tailgating all day, I was able to sit in club seats because my friend got us free tickets. While it wasn't nearly as fun as sitting in the student section, I thought that the club house was very nice. It was also pretty spiffy to be able to eat cake and drink coffee at a football game. However, I'm happy to be able to finish out the school year in the student section!

Probably one of the funniest things I've encountered in the city of Pittsburgh!
