Greetings from balmy Pittsburgh ... well, relatively balmy, anyway, compared to what's going to hit Connecticut later today. Nut much snow here. There's maybe an inch on the ground, but it doesn't appear that it's snowed at all this morning to this point.

As of last night, UConn planned to fly out of Bradley on its charter at 1 p.m. today. Not sure if that has changed at all.

Otherwise, looking forward to a great way to kick off the Big East season tomorrow night. We'll be talking to Jim Calhoun, Kemba Walker, etc. today around 3:15 p.m.

Also, Pitt coach Jamie Dixon has been named the Dapper Dan Sportsman of the Year in today's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, for what it's worth.

OK, back to reading the new Keith Richards biography.
