Backyard Football Pigskin Party Football and Thanksgiving are so intertwined that the words are practically synonymous. While many of us have memories of enjoying a turkey dinner while the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions sound off in the background, some memories are even closer to home – namely, backyard football.
Pittsburgh Police say human remains found buried in a yard in Garfield last year have been identified as a woman who was last seen in 1964.

The “Backyard Brawl,” one of college football’s best dormant rivalries, will be renewed a little sooner than previously thought.
The Pitt Panthers and West Virginia Mountaineers have faced off 104 total times in the history of the Backyard Brawl.
Pitt owns a 61-40-3 lead in the series, which began all the way back in October 1895. Backyard football trick plays.
Unfortunately, with West Virginia’s jump to the Big 12, and Pitt’s move to the ACC, the old Big East rivals have not faced off since the 2011 season.
WVU edged out Pitt in that one, 21-20.
The two programs announced the renewal of the Backyard Brawl back in 2015. The 2022 game was slated for September 17 in Pittsburgh, and would kick off a four-year series alternating between the two home fields.
That game has been moved up, and will now be the 2022 season opener on September 3.
The schools made the announcement this afternoon.
The 2022 resumption of the Backyard Brawl at Heinz Field, originally scheduled for Sept. 17, has been moved to Sept. 3 and will now be the opener for both Pitt & West Virginia. The teams will meet four times between 2022-25. Panthers host in 2022 and 2024. #H2Ppic.twitter.com/iQy8j5IcKs

Pitt has another non-conference game against a prominent opponent the following week, when the team hosts Tennessee. It is also one of two Power Five non-conference road games for West Virginia, which will travel to face another ACC Coastal program, Virginia Tech, on September 24.
Losing rivalries like the Backyard Brawl has been one of the most unfortunate consequences of conference realignment, so it is great to see these two programs get back in action. Having it kick off then 2022 season should be pretty cool to see as well.
Hopefully other series like Texas vs. Texas A&M can make similar returns in the coming years.
