Beanie Bishop ruffled quite a few feathers on Tuesday, posting a video to his Instagram story of him wiping his feet on the Pitt logo at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex:

Bishop responded to questions about the video following Wednesday's OTAs, talking about how rivalries make sports great:
"You don't like those guys. That's self explanatory," Bishop said. "If you go and ask them, they probably hate me. Do I care? No, not really. That's just part of it. If you go ask any fans in Baltimore, what do they think about the Steelers? They hate us. It is what it is. It's just part of the rivalry. I'm only concerned about the Pittsburgh Steelers fans, or the West Virginia fans in that instance."
The Steelers began all of their player photo shoots and videos for the upcoming season on Wednesday. They are using several spots on campus at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex, including some space over on Pitt's side of the building. That's why Bishop was over there in the first place, so it's not like he went out of his way to do it.
Either way, this will surely add more fuel to the fire when Pitt and West Virginia meet on Sept. 13 in Morgantown, W. Va., for the next installment in the Backyard Brawl rivalry.
