Pledge Week Update

Filed under: Admin,Money — Chas @ 12:06 pm

I have been a little too busy in the offline world to make the daily pleas this week as intended.

At this point I have received contributions or pledges to do so from 29 people. Thanks to those that have donated to this point.

Things could be better on that front. So if you can, please help. Hit the Paypal button on the sidelinks or e-mail if you prefer to send a check.

The idea of a tailgate was tossed around in the comments. That has been something on my mind for the last couple years. Not as any sort of fundraiser, but just to have a chance for people to gather, meet, and for me to say thank you.

The problem I have had in advancing it beyond serious consideration is twofold. Like many of you who go to the game, I come in from out-of-town. That makes the logistics of getting everything together and getting set up more difficult.

The bigger problem is that Pitt’s schedule hardly allows for much advanced planning. On Pitt’s schedule this year, there are only 4 Saturday home games. Right now only one Saturday home game is already set for a time — New Hampshire at 1 pm. As we all know, the Big East and ESPN have tended to wait until a week to two weeks before the game to announce the time. Also a lot of the games end up being noon starts, and noon starts suck for a good tailgate.

What might make more sense is having a post-game gathering at one of the North Side watering holes.

Thoughts on the matter are welcome





make it pot luck byob and whoever shows, shows. Pitt must be moving to the anti tailgating band wagon as where are the 3:30 kickoffs? that is the best time, in my opinion, to have a game. not to early, not too late getting home (2 hours away). I park in red lot 7 f and would be happy to provide the grill and have a couple friends w/ grills also in this lot. pick a game and we will do it.

I would be more than willing to offer up my tailgate for your services during one of our home games if you are interested….let me know, I normally tailgate with about 8-15 Pitt fans in Gold Lot 4…it’s a great group and a lot of fun, we normally begin about 2-3 hours before game time, depending upon whom we play….let me know…Marco

Sorry Chas, I’ve been in Asia all week. I’ll email to get your home address….

I’m down for the tailgates on anything but noon games. I’m coming from 2hours away, and just can’t swing too early of an escape with the little lady.
