Pitt as in the University of Pittsburgh? If so, when has it never been Pitt?

Yes, It is my understanding that school officials prefer to be known as Pittsburgh.

Re: Relatives that played in the NFL

Actually I was wrong, it wasn't until his 3rd season when the Bears went to SBXX. '83, '84, '85....

Re: Relatives that played in the NFL

Does it have to be a relative or can it be someone closer?

Does a tryout as a free agent punter for the Steelers in 77 count?

If "anyone" counts, I have a couple of former students in the NFL: Michael Boley and Jeremy Bridges.

I am not opposed to adding a Cowboy to the wall if and when the opportunity presents itself. While I despise the team, I respect good players. My room is focused on Steelers but I have memorabilia from a lot of teams on display in there.

So far the wall is signed by:

Chris Hanburger
L.C. Greenwood
Pat Fischer
Ron McDole
Roy Jefferson
Reggie Harrison
Ted Vactor
Boyd Dowler

The basement has only been finished since March, and I should be adding a few more sigs in the next month.
