Military Asking for Injured Soldiers' Signing Bonuses Back
This is definitely something we all can agree on: the ridiculousness of the military for what they're doing to wounded soldiers: asking for their signing bonuses back. Since enlistment is so low, the military has begun giving signing bonuses up to $30,000 for people who enlist and serve. However, soldiers that have lost limbs, hearing, vision, or that have been permanately injured serving their country are being asked to give their bonuses back upon return from their tours in their respective countries. This is disgusting. These americans are risking their lives definding freedom and give so much for their country, and yet are being forced to give money back. A soldier that has lost his vision should be awarded for his bravery, not robbed. What do you guys think? This is definitely something we all can agree on: the ridiculousness of the military for what they're doing to wounded soldiers: askin... more

Pitt's worst, most expensive mistake in years
Back at the beginning of the fall semester, Shady Henien and the rest of SGB approved to spend $60,000 of the students' money for a bunch of giant panther statues to be decorated by different organizations and put all over campus. The spending caused an uproar on campus, and for good reason. We don't need to be spending 60,000 dollars on something that we don't need. First of all, there are 4 times as many organizations that want to decorate the statues as there are statues. big problem there. who gets to decorate?? second... this is not the kind of pitt tradition i want my generation to start. statue decorating... we need something better, cheaper. third: they were supposed to be delivered before homecoming, but they STILL arent here. in fact, the article provided says theyre delayed now until after christmas break Shady's fiscal failures need to be stopped. Back at the beginning of the fall semester, Shady Henien and the rest of SGB approved to spend $60,000 of the students' money for a bu... more

The 100th Backyard Brawl - Pitt over WVU, Chaos in Oakland (UPitt)
Well we did it. We knocked off #1 or #2 (depending on the poll) West Virginia University in the 100th Backyard Brawl and ruined their chances of their first national championship title ever. You couldn't have expected there to not be a celebration. Shortly after the game ended, students flooded the streets, setting couches aflame (a common, popular thing for WVU fans to do when they win) and took over some of the biggest streets in Oakland. We also took over the cathedral for a while until the police forced us out. We screamed pitt chants at the top of our lungs for almost 3 hours until the riot police arrived to force us off the streets. It was very reminiscent of the Steelers' riots after their championship in super bowl XL, without the car flippings and 40 arrests (though there were a few). Enjoy the video, and let me know what you think about the whole situation! Well we did it. We knocked off #1 or #2 (depending on the poll) West Virginia University in the 100th Backyard Brawl and ruined their ... more
