Good news Monday with the announcement of football times and television assignments: The season-opener will be a night game and West Virginia’s football team doesn’t have any sort of scheduling conflict with the Pirates … I assume.

The Sept. 5 opener, WVU v. Georgia Southern, will kick at 7:30 p.m. on FSN and not Root Sports! Now, Root is a FSN affiliate, so depending on your location and provider, you might get caught with Root and without an alternative. That’s possibly problematic because the Pirates are playing at St. Louis at 4:05 p.m. A week later, the Mountaineers are on Root at 3 p.m. against Liberty. The Pirates play host to Milwaukee at 7:05 p.m. That should be safe, too. We already knew WVU v. TCU would be on television because it’s a Thursday game, and we learned today it’ll be a 7:30 p.m. game on Fox Sports 1.
