Not the full schedule, but at least the non-con has been finalized. Good sign for Pitt to actually have the schedule out in early August. It means they weren’t scrambling to find a couple more games like they have the past few years.

Note the exhibition game for Pitt against D-II Coker College Cobras from Hartsville, SC. The Cobras’ Head Coach Dan Schmotzer was an assistant at TCU when Coach Dixon was a player. so that might explain this exhibition rather than some other more local D-II team.
Fan Fest is October 3. That does not interfere with a football game as Pitt plays at Louisville on Friday night, October 2.
to many yinzers following pitt.
I’d buy your argument if Howland/Dixon didn’t have such a history of not playing ANYBODY before the league started, no matter how good or bad the outlook was for the team. Years of laughable non-conf games have made many of us skeptical……
