HUNTINGTON — Next year, a football team from West Virginia is tangling with the University of Pittsburgh for the first time in six seasons.

No, not that team.

To the contrary, it was Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick announcing his program’s one-for-one contract to play Pitt. The Thundering Herd will travel to Heinz Field in Pittsburgh on Oct. 1, 2016, with the Panthers scheduled to return the trip on Sept. 26, 2020.

“I told them the Backyard Brawl’s now in Huntington,” quipped MU coach Doc Holliday.

Pitt is the third Atlantic Coast Conference school to agree to a home-and-home series with Marshall. The others are North Carolina State (away 2017, at MU 2018) and Louisville (2011 away, 2016 at MU).

Much respect for Pitt for signing the one and one contract. That's how things should be.

The best possible result of this encounter would be for the earth to part in the middle of Heinz Field and swallow BOTH "teams".....two birds with one stone if you will:bomb:
