Pitt Game Time -- Update: NOON as Big East GOTW

[Grateful Dad]

Oh, Lord.  Drinking beer in the morning again.  I'm gonna get a rep...

I am hoping for a nooner, and wouldn't mind seeing the game be on at 7

[NinjaPenguin777]

F$%^#. Well at least its an away game but damnit I'm sick of these noon games. I have to listen to them on the radio at work.

I think the noon time is the best time for our team on the road. Won't be too cold, game temp should be in the low 60's. Doesn't give the players too much time to sit around and be bored on the road.

Now why we didn't get a better time spot for TV exposure, that I do not understand. Pitt just played 3:30 games against UConn and NC State. Why are we delegated to noon? That said, I think we will play better at noon.

What I don't understand is why ESPN was in such a hurry to slot the other two Big East games (Uconn / WVU & Louisville / Cincy) in the 12:00 and 3:30 spots on ESPNU or any other ESPN channel for that matter. Why not wait until six days out to decide instead of the twelve day option? I would think they would regret the decision to have this game taken by The Big East Network if both USF and Pitt win this weekend. That could be a potential top 10 versus top 20 matchup. Of course I'm dissapointed because I live in Fort Myers and don't have access to the Big East Network on Comcast cable. Have they ever been known to make last second changes in channel coverage to accomodate big matchups?

If the Bulls win, they won't be cracking the top 10.

we will prolly have better weather at noon than at 7, come to think about it.

still sucks tailgatingwise, though.

Wait a second... tailgaiting is gonna suck anyway since I am in with the Pitt Alumni lot.

Really early forecast says cloudy and upper 40s. Not that bad, considering.

pittsburgh always has garbage weather.  what else would you expect?

Not so. I was there for the game in 2007 and it was a beautiful fall day, perfect for football
