The regular-season finale against Pittsburgh Saturday will kickoff at noon, and be televised on ESPN, a UConn spokesman confirmed Saturday. Early forcasts call for temperatures in the 30s. That midday sun should boost it into the toasty upper 30s for kickoff. It'll still be frigid, but you can bet it will feel a lot better than low 30s for a night-time kickoff.

On a side note, methinks Pitt will be playing for a spot in the Sun Bowl with a win. UConn seems destined for Toronto win or lose.
