<p>It is absolutely not true that “could easily make the argument that there are more Penn State fans here in pgh than actual Pitt fans”. PSU has a following, but it is not “arguably” bigger than Pitt’s, which gets media priority, better tv and radio ratings, and has more alumni by over a 3 to 1 margin (and there are more PSU alumni in Allegheny county than any other county in the US). Pitt is definitely behind the pro-teams on the public consciousness (as is any city school), but not on campus, and certainly not behind any other college. Suggesting WVU has some sort of large fanbase in the area that contains Pitt’s following is just laughable. There are less than 5,000 total WVU alumni in Allegheny County compared to 78,311 Pitt alumni. WVU is the third most followed college by a large margin, unless you count Duquesne basketball which is the second most popular basketball school in the area. You’d have to be completely biased to even suggest that those things…oh wait.</p>
