U.S. Open media day: Pitt, Penn State pump up upcoming renewal of rivalry

Pitt and Penn State are still five months away from reviving their rivalry on the football field, but Monday they did so on the golf course.

Teams of former Panthers and Nittany Lions played at Oakmont Country Club as a part of media day for the 2016 U.S. Open, which will take place there in June 16-19.

The winner of the friendly competition might be a mystery — both teams claimed to have won handily — but the more important result will come Sept. 10 when the teams meet on the football field for the first time since 2000.
