Oh, and how interesting would it be if ABC decides to put the Pitt @ USF game on regionally.

Tampa Bay would be a fun place!  FSU and Miami games - if they are night games - would not be on... and Florida is at Vanderbilt that day.

That means USF could be the only Florida school on broadcast TV in Tampa Bay that day.

Jim,

This is new, it's a weekly series they are starting. ABC has done night football in the past, but only for big games and 3-4 times a season. ND/USC; last year's Ohio State/Texas; UF/FSU, Miami/FSU.

They plan on showing a few games a week.

Hmm... For some reason I remember more games.  But I know they were not all "big" games...

For example: on September 3rd last year, they showed Notre Dame @ Pitt and Texas A&M @ Clemson:

Ya, but that is Opening Labor Day weekend.

They have said that this is the Saturday Night Programming fixture. Respectively called Saturday Night Football. Musberger and Bob Davies will be the fixtures with John Saunders, Craig James, and Doug Flutie in the studio. Kirk Herbstreit will be the 3rd man in the booth for games that College Gameday will be at.

I'm excited for it! It's another game added to the Saturday night lineup which included ESPN (s), FSN, and TBS. Add that to Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday college football and my fiancee will never talk to me again...it will be great!(just kidding hun)
