Pitt-Penn State Tailgate

Playing cornhole before a big football game is an integral part of the tailgate experience, and University of Pittsburgh students will have the opportunity at the Pitt-Penn State Tailgate. But what makes this function worthy of Pitt kids’ time is the t-shirt decorating contest. Distribution begins at 10 p.m., but organizers recommend early arrival to guarantee getting a shirt to decorate. And decorate you must, because word from the Pitt Program Council is “taking a shirt and leaving is not permitted.” Hey, you know something is serious when they’re telling you what is allowable when it comes to free stuff. There will be free food, which presumably can be eaten without rules.
