MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- ESPN has announced the start times for the WVU-Connecticut and WVU-Cincinnati football games. Both are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. kickoffs.

West Virginia will host Connecticut on Wednesday, November 2, at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. The Mountaineers will visit Cincinnati on Wednesday, November 9.

I wish this game was earlier in the year. I worry about the game being on a weeknight/school night and in possible cold weather etc. With such a young team if UC is not near 500 and WVU having to travel during the week I am worried what would have been a sellout on a Sat. could be a problem with attendance.

If this game was on a weekend it would almost be a guranteed sellout for UC...many WVU fans (myself included) where going to make the trip over untill the schedule was announced....UC fans really need to step up for this one...national TV game against a regional opponet....there needs to be at least 28,000 people in the stands

Bearcat T has already correctly pointed out that UC needs to be at or near .500 at this point, with no blowout losses. Fans in Cincinnati are very fickle when it comes to UC. They will stick around longer with losers such as the Reds and Bengals (for the life of me I can't understand why). UC has done so much better comparably in football than the Bengals the last 10 years or more and the Reds are just plain awful now.

I do think 28.0m is possible if most of the above happens....pray for a balmy fallnight and the Cats at 4-5 or 5-4! I cannot wait until thw WVU and Pitt fans stsrt coming back and forth like UL does with
our games and vice versa...I think we impressed WVU on our last trip there with how many people we took.
