Huge development to Backyard Brawl

Great to see! WVU and 3 patsies in the OOC will work, with the exception of the ND rotation.
The TN series was scheduled for 2021 at TN and 2022 at Heinz. They are loading up on 2022.
It was always 22, this just moves the date from 9/17/22 to opening.
It always got solid tv ratings. Frankly, the first couple psu games have been middling.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Big XII has folded and WVU is in the ACC by the time our series with them is over.
That’s true. I looked at the rotating schedule and we don’t play FSU, ND, or Clemson that year so it shouldn’t be too bad.
I am all for the back yard brawl and telling PEDO U to eff off.
Tell Nutting to put in request now to mlb to be away that weekend.
You're right, all they did was change the schedule order--before it was Tennessee and then WVU on back-to-back weekends at Heinz, now it is WVU first, then Tennessee on back-to-back weekends at Heinz.
He probably already called the MLB tv people to make sure they have the Pirates scheduled for the night game at home. That way he can tell the gullible Pitt fans that tv set the schedule.

Actuall, I could see WVU @ Pitt being one of those Sunday nighters
West Virginia will be in whatever conference Marshall is in. Nobody cares about WVU when it comes to ratings.
Except we don't play "3 patsies". We play ND and Tennessee.
Stupidity like this is why we have 1, 10 win season in 30 years.
How about we tell BOTH to eff off, and worry about the ACC games and winning a coastal championship!!

I'd love to see WVU game be played every Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. Start a new tradition. If both schools agreed to this, I'd be happy to never play PSU again.
Tennessee is the only one on that list I don't get. I know it's an old agreement but what do we get out of playing an (up and down but usually talented) SEC school well outside our recruiting turf? The ones against our rivals will be great.
You realize Nutting is a big wvu donor, right? He’ll be in a box suite watching the game wearing his coonskin cap.
