On a Friday or Saturday night in Oakland (Pitt Campus) you will see a full contingent of Pittsburgh Police and the dreaded paddy wagon parked across from The O at the corner of Forbes Ave. and South Bouquet St. It was reassuring to know that the cops and the wagon were in one spot. That meant they weren’t out cruising around South Oakland to bust a house party you might just happen to be on your way to attend. The kids in Storrs, CT appear to need a lookout for Thursday night, because the police intend to be out in force.
Meawhile the UConn team claims to be focused and not distracted by anything for the Pitt game. UConn has a bye week after this game before another home game against WVU. Arguably they need this game to avoid going to 0-3 in the Big East.
