Pitt’s second game of the season, at Ohio U, has been moved to Friday night at 8 pm on September 9. This will piss off the area high schools, but it serves the TV interests of ESPN2.
So much for the road trip down to Athens.
This means that all of Pitt’s road games will be nationally televised.
The Pitt Athletic Department has a video hype of the football team available (Windows Media). It’s about 6 minutes long mixing clips from scrimmage and highlights from last year, along with a clip from the introductory Wannstedt press conference, and interspersed with commentary from Coach Wannstedt about the program and fan support.
I can’t judge it fairly because the last week has been nothing but good news for Pitt on recruiting that I was already feeling enthusiastic. Let me at least say that it did nothing to dampen my enthusiasm.
