They're on sale. I just ordered twelve through the ticket office ($25). We're meeting some of my cousins who live in W-PA there.
What section?
We have a group of 6-8 that will be heading over. I am looking at tickets online and see some groups of 8 around the 10 yard line for $9 each. I would prefer to buy through the A.D., but that big of a difference is too hard to pass up.

I don't know what section, I'm just taking whatever they give me. I'd rather sit with the BG fans and with my large group, I didn't want the hassle of finding something different.
FWIW on Pittsburgh's website sections 101, 103, and 104 are Visiting section. They have 102 and 105 available on StubHub for as low as $8. This is probably the route I'll take. I'll still be surrounded by Orange and Brown and I'll pay less than half the price.

Yes, the spread is definite result of the bowl game.
It can be argued that this is the best MAC team Pitt will face. This is their record since 1970 vs the MAC (19-2; 18-0 at home). As you see, they've faced some mediocre/poor MAC squads, to include us in '99 & '00.

I agree that BG team was not nearly as talented as this team. The same could be said for Pitt. 13 is a lot. Remember BG was 11.5 dogs to Purdue in 03.
Absolutely. I was at that game in 1999 and BG outgained Pitt by over 125 yrds on the day. We allowed a couple big returns that gave Pitt a short field and I think one punt may have been returned for a TD as well. We trailed 10-7 at half but probably should have been up by 2-3 tds.
I just don't see Pitt as being 13 pts better than us at this moment.

I like BG by 5.
Mike, In addition to our bowl disaster, seems like Pitt did a number on WVU last year late in the season...That little RB is dynamite!
McCoy is the real deal. But I'm not sold on their QB Bostic, he was rather unimpressive. Their other guy is the linebacker Scott McKillop, he is an absolute stud.
Pitt is good, but the same team that beat W. Virginia lost to Navy. I just don't see Pitt being 13 points better than us.
