The Sandusky scandal deserves no place in the Pitt - Penn State Rivalry

Unpopular opinion: Pitt fans (and college football fans in general) should stop referencing the Jerry Sandusky scandal to Penn State fans, either in person or online.

I’m not the first person to say this, as Dan Sostek wrote about before Pitt and PSU’s first game of the series in 2016.

Now, I can already see the incoming tweets calling me a “snowflake”, or too sensitive, or saying “what happened to good trash talking”, but trash talking a rival doesn’t involve talking about the rape of children every chance you get.

There has been a huge amount of discussion lately about why Penn State wouldn’t continue the series with Pitt past the 2019 season.
