Pitt football: Hail to Pitt

Pitt plays on the North Shore with the downtown skyline over the end zone, sings "Sweet Caroline" between the third and fourth quarters, and lights the Cathedral of Learning gold after a win. From Tony Dorsett and Dan Marino to Larry Fitzgerald and Aaron Donald, few programs have sent more legends to the NFL. H2P.
