Sweet Caroline | Backyard Brawl 2022 | Pitt Football

If you know the words, sing along. The bleachers were shaking during this Backyard Brawl edition of Sweet Caroline, sung by University of Pittsburgh fans. The Victory Lights are on, everyone! HAIL TO PITT! From 1895 to 2011, the Pittsburgh Panthers and West Virginia Mountaineers traveled the 75 miles between the institutions to meet on the gridiron in a game known simply as the Backyard Brawl. Following the dissolution of the Big East, the two teams have not met in more than a decade. In 2022, the Panthers and Mountaineers met once more as part of a four-year series to revive one of the nation’s most contentious rivalries. The result: an incredible Pitt victory in front of the largest crowd at a sporting event in Pittsburgh history!
