At least that’s how it is spun. Pitt is playing a team from another power conference. Oh, wait, it is only Penn State. According to the Pitt press release, Pitt “has outscored Penn State 235-150 in each of the last three matchups, an average of 28.3 points per victory.” Game notes are here (PDF).
The game is on Fox Sports-Pittsburgh and ESPN Full Court. Hmmm. My dad (a Penn St. grad) is in town this weekend to visit his granddaughter. Wonder if I should spring for the $15 to just happen to have the game on TV. Probably not. We’ll probably be out of the house, and he won’t care.
