Homecoming Weekend at Pitt

Last weekend was my first Pitt homecoming and my first visit to Heinz Field. It is a beautiful football field, but it is so big that it didn't feel much like a college game. We couldn't find any of our friends until after the game at a local restaurant. We were lucky that the rain held off and it didn't get cold until the end of the game. Pitt beat USF in a blowout. They are doing so great this season! Much, much better than when I was an undergrad student.

The weather on Sunday was even better - cool but sunny. Natalie and I had lunch at the "O" (we split a turkey sub and small fries and were stuffed!) and walked around campus. The campus now has a Pitt Panther statue that was donated by the class of 1999 (after we graduated), so we got some pictures of it. We also walked around Station Square and took some great pictures of the city from Mt. Washington. We caught the end of the very exciting Steelers game on the radio. What a great weekend for football in Pittsburgh!
