I know that I oughtn’t (clever, huh?) complain about our beloved Panthers’ prime-time start on Saturday night (8 p.m.) but I do have one reservation: The start time means that I will be freezing my hindquarters off in a Pittsburgh parking lot at midnight.
I’m not just hoping for a victory, I’m also hoping for a swift conclusion to the game. It’s not so much the cold as it is my desire to “hit the town” afterwards and this late start time’s gonna nip that in the bud, I fear.
Of course, this desire is predicated on the hopes that many comely Hurricane alumni will be prowling the South Side and various other locales post-game, so I may be a bit blinded by a vain, vain hope. Of course, being a Pitt fan, this is nothing new for me.
