Pitt’s fall training camp starts today with the player’s reporting in from their time off-campus where they were tasked with finding a spot for the next new Pitt Stadium. Serious on-field stuff won’t begin until tomorrow however when the staff and team can get on the field and start getting familiar with the new crop of players and reacquainted with the physical side of actual football.
Just as a point of info here is how the practice days will be conducted in general. A typical single practice day will go like this:
Coach Narduzzi Briefing: 9:25 a.m.
Practice Viewing/Photography Window: 9:55-10:25 a.m.
Closed practice from 10:25 until 12:15
Interviews: 12:15 p.m. (select players and assistants)
This is what we’ll see when Tuesday’s Media Day rolls around and I’ll be up there for those sessions (more on that later):
Practice Viewing/Photography Window: 9:55-10:25 a.m.
Coach Narduzzi Press Conference: 1:30 p.m. (second floor team room)
Team Interview and Photo Session: 2:45-4 p.m.
Some interesting things to note is that in all of the allowed two-a-day practices the evening practice is completely closed to the media. That makes sense as no real news will be generated between 2:30 or so until they start up again in the evening. So that is the logistics behind the next three weeks of camp.
