Time to Battle

First tournament in eight months is this weekend. My Praxis scores are in and I've passed, all my applications are complete. I don't have anything to distract me from focusing on this weekend and getting excited. Even just running through my packing list and putting my stuff together tonight was exhilarating. I've watched this team all fall semester, had a little bit of a taste this winter, and I am ready to battle out there with my teammates and brothers. I can't wait to fight for every yard, to bump and grind, to shove W's down the throats of the ME haters. I don't know if I'm O line, D line, Q line, I just want to take the field against some team who doesn't know what's about to hit them, to steamroll them, to have teams on other fields turn their heads and say, "Who's that over there rolling like thunder?" And someone will lean over and whisper, "I think that's Pitt, damn they look good, better keep an eye on em."

It's time to show the world who we are and where we come from. It's time to bring it all and leave it out there. It's time to start fulfilling our full potential. It's time to fight. It's time to Battle.
