That promises to add to the weirdness.
For those who haven’t heard or read, the UConn-Pitt game on Saturday, October 10 will be a 3:30 game with regional coverage on ABC. And by regional, I mean regional. Here are the games at 3:30 on ABC.
Sat., Oct. 10 | Wisconsin at Ohio State | 3:30 p.m. | ABC |
Sat., Oct. 10 | Baylor at Oklahoma | 3:30 p.m. | ABC |
Sat., Oct. 10 | Oregon at UCLA | 3:30 p.m. | ABC |
Sat., Oct. 10 | UConn at Pitt | 3:30 p.m. | ABC |
I’ll post the regional map when it is actually published (or simply when I find it. Odds are, though, if you are on the East Coast you are set. West of the coastal states and you better have ESPN 360 or GamePlan.
As for my sobriety, which seems counter intuitive to a 3:30 start? Well, here’s the culprit.
There is a sportsbloggers panel at 2pm on Saturday. I’ll be sitting on a panel with bloggers from Pensblog and Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies. The panel will be moderated by Mike Woycheck of Pittsburgh Bloggers.
So, I’ll be heading over to try and make kickoff afterwards. Faced with the choice of making a guaranteed ass of myself by trying to do the panel after drinking or only a 50-50 chance of it, I’m opting for the coin flip.
