USF-Pittsburgh Game Re-Scheduled for Saturday, December 4

(October 6, 2004)

The University of South Florida and the University of Pittsburgh have agreed to re-schedule their postponed football game to Saturday, December 4 in Raymond James Stadium. The game is tentatively scheduled for 7 p.m.

Presently, there is not a commitment for television, but the two schools and ESPN continue to discuss live coverage opportunities for that date. Saturday presents the best possible options for television opportunities. The game had originally been scheduled for Monday, September 6 on ESPN, but Hurricane Frances forced a postponement.

“Pittsburgh has proven to be an outstanding partner throughout the discussions regarding a re-scheduled date for our game,†says USF Director of Athletics Doug Woolard. “We certainly appreciate their cooperation and patience in seeing this process to completion. We realize it’s important for fans of both programs to be able to plan their December 4 weekend and we’re happy to finalize the date. We join Pittsburgh in continued discussions with ESPN to keep the game televised as originally planned.â€Â

Woohooooooo........

[bulls96go]

hope we do not need this game to be bowl eligible

Both will suffer, because this game went from being a marquee TV contest to being buried behind the SEC title game, the Big XII title game, Army-Navy, and a rescheduled Cal@Southern Miss game that could have national importance.

I just wanna HAMMER 'em !!! The game "may" have lost some luster, but so have our Beloved BULLS  

Go BULLS !!!

The Bulls - assuming a likely win - will benefit more than Pitt. Not that timing has anything to do with it, but the fact that it will be one more, and quite possibly critical, win.

As for Pitt...it's just another game for them.

Exactly why can't this game be played during the day? What if it's like 45 degrees that night?
