Return of Penn State-Pitt rivalry shows how much they still need each other

A little after one o’clock Friday afternoon, Pitt athletic director Scott Barnes sent out a tweet that the “visiting team” had returned some of its ticket allotment for Saturday’s Panthers home football game at Heinz Field.

Visiting team returned tickets for tomorrow. Will be making them available for Panther Nation. Stay tuned. #H2P

Which means kickoff in the renewal of Pitt vs. Penn State came 23 hours early.

Isn’t that delicious? When the suits get involved, you know a rivalry is starting to cook.
