It’s something I have said to keep an eye on. The Big East and Pitt being put on Friday nights for games would upset area high schools, and the tradition of the Friday Night High School games. I expect some more closer to the actual season starting, especially from the Pittsburgh area.

Here’s some of the early sniping from a sports editor in the Mon Valley.

Pitt’s football team will be going against the high school kids for another Friday night with the Panthers’ contest at Ohio University being moved from Sept. 10 to Sept. 9 for the national ESPN2 television audience.

It’s the night of most of the WPIAL team’s second games.

The Panthers’ other Friday night contest is at Rutgers Sept. 30.

This year, they are road games, so the impact may be blunted. Next year, if there are any home Friday games, expect some real pissing and moaning.
