I'm not sure exactly when the tradition started, but for at least the past 30 years, rookies wearing the black-and-gold at Steelers training camp in Latrobe have been at the mercy of veterans not just on the practice field, but also after practice has ended and it's time to wind down over food and much-needed relaxation.
Imagine finishing up a long, grueling day of practice in the intense summer heat of late August, quickly showering and then heading to the dining hall at St. Vincent's College for a much-needed dinner. After inhaling thousands of calories, you're ready to head back to the dorms for some video games and some studying of the playbook. But wait, where you think you're going rookie? The veterans need some post-meal entertainment. That's where you come in. Time to sing.
