The platinum sombrero has arrived on the gridiron. Pitt finishes the year on a 5-game slid, but we've got optimism (see: cope) that this team did show movement in the right direction this year and you should feel that they will get better moving forward. See you in the bowl. After that, a lot of talk about the OT win in Columbus for Pitt Hoops, and what we think they went well, and where they can improve. Attaboy, Papa Kante.
