I’ll admit it.
As a fan, there’s some degree of ‘Happy to be here’ when I think about Pitt’s season and the upcoming ACC championship game against Clemson. I’m not sure the players feel that way (at least I hope they don’t) but as a fan with no real vested interest here, it’s kind of hard not to feel that way.
Pitt’s football team wasn’t expected to do much this season, in case you’ve forgotten. Many prognostications had them around the five-win or six-win plateau and, while many Pitt fans were more optimistic, the national expectations weren’t high.
