Pitt announced yesterday the start times for the first two games of the season (and the Thursday night game hosting VT, but we all knew that was going to be a 7pm game).
The season opener against Villanova will be at 1:30 and shown on ESPN3.
The September 10 game against Penn State will be at noon and shown on ESPN or ABC. Disappointing, but not too surprising.
The primary reason — and deserved focus for much ire — has to do with the Pittsburgh Pirates playing the same day at 7pm. Could they have asked MLB to move the game time to earlier in the day to allow Pitt to play in the evening?
