Pittsburgh City Title Series

The Pittsburgh City Title Series was a three-way college football rivalry that existed from the 1923 to 1943 between the Carnegie Tech Tartans, Pitt Panthers and Duquesne Dukes.

[1] At the peak of the rivalry, games between Pitt, Duquesne, and Carnegie Tech would regularly draw crowds of well over 40,000; which was more than the World Series at the time.

The Panthers earned their revenge the following season however, as they defeated the Carnegie Tech Tartans 6–0 in front of a ruckus crowd of 55,000 at Pitt Stadium.

Despite starting with a perfect record that year, the Tartans lost out the back end of their season, including losses to rivals Notre Dame and Duquesne.

With the Tartans' 7–22 home loss to Duquesne in the last game of the season, they became one of the only teams to be swept in the Pittsburgh City Title series the year after winning it.
