Three things I missed in my first post:
- For Pour1Malt and our other Scottish friends - Yes, we Pennsylvanians spell it "Edinboro". Except for the students who attend Edinboro but study abroad for a semester at Edinburgh, who get confused on how to spell it.
- The ROTC group from page 4 of Jeff's gallery were still wearing their PKs. Didn't get a chance to talk to them this year; they were the ones who told me about Pittsburgh Kilts at last year's games.
- There was an older gentleman I saw at the Alasdair Fraser tent who apparently had an under-apron pocket like Moosehead mentioned in the PK thread, except it looked like a Menzies, which was never a regimental tartan, was it? Anyway, I saw this fellow out of the corner of my eye paying for his Fraser CDs - he reached under the over-apron, pulled out his cash, paid, puts his money back, and walked off with his purchase. Just something unexpected.

They don't spell it that way, they only pronounce it that way.
'Sides, isn't the correct spelling actually 'Dłn Eideann'?

Ok,
here are a few of the pictures:

Well, the women's teams are the "Lady Scots" ... and it makes as much sense at the Nittany Lions, Gannon Knights, and Allegheny Gators ('gators in PA?). That, and the head of the Athletic Department is 4 time Olympic medalist Bruce Baumgartner - "Fighting" describes the drive to win, more than any warlike tendencies.
And the statue that was commissioned does have a regal look to it ...
Can you tell that I'm an alumni?
Anyway, to the pics: [WARNING: I used the LARGE file setting]
