The kickoff time for East Carolina's 2007 season-opening football game with Virginia Tech, scheduled for Sept. 1 at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, has been set for 12 noon (EDT) to accommodate a live ESPN2 national television broadcast, according to an announcement from the network on Monday morning.

The ESPN2 telecast will be the third for East Carolina in its last 11 games, dating back to No. 4 West Virginia's visit to Greenville on Sept. 23 of 2006 and the Pirates' bowl clash against South Florida last December.

Other ESPN selections announced Monday involving Conference USA teams include Marshall at Florida (ESPNU, Sept. 1, 12 noon), Central Florida at N.C. State (ESPN360, Sept. 1, 6 p.m.) and UAB at Florida State (ESPNU, Sept. 8, 5 p.m.).

Three Pirates on all-regional baseball team

Three East Carolina baseball players were named to the all-regional team for their play in the NCAA regional at Boshamer Stadium at UNC-Chapel Hill. The three Pirates selected were first baseman Stephen Batts, catcher Corey Kemp and outfielder Jamie Ray.

Tar Heels rally to earn super regional berth

Josh Horton's two-run single with two outs in the ninth gave North Carolina its second straight come-from-behind victory, a 6-5 win over Western Carolina on Monday in Chapel Hill that sent the Tar Heels on to the next round of the NCAA baseball tournament.

The Tar Heels (51-12) trailed 5-4 in the top of the final frame when Western Carolina pulled closer Greg Holland after he put two men on with a pair of walks. Horton greeted replacement Chris Masters with a single to the gap in right-center that scored Matt Cavasinni and Dustin Ackley.

North Carolina closer Andrew Carignan worked the bottom of the ninth to earn his 14th save for North Carolina, which advances to next weekend's best-of-three super regional series against the Columbia, SC, regional champion, most likely in Chapel Hill.

With the loss, the Golden Eagles were eliminated from the NCAA baseball regional hosted by Ole Miss.

Southern Miss (39-23) led 7-1 after six and a half innings.

Link joins the Camels after spending last season as the defensive coordinator at Catholic University of America, an NCAA Division III school in Washington, DC.

The Camels are resuming their football program in 2008.

Wolfpack postponed in Columbia regional

All of Saturday’s baseball games in the NCAA Columbia (SC) regional were postponed to Sunday because of inclement weather.

While it was only drizzling early in the afternoon, the area was expected to get heavy rains from the remnants of Tropical Storm Barry, prompting NCAA officials to make the decision to wait another day to get started.

Second-seeded N.C. State will play Wofford at 11 a.m. today at Sarge Frye Stadium on the South Carolina campus, followed by a 3 p.m. contest between top-seeded South Carolina and third-seeded Charlotte. The winner of the first game will play the loser of the second game at 7 p.m.

The final games of the regional will be played Monday at a time that will be determined after Sunday’s game.

Mailman delivers for alma mater, Louisiana Tech

Louisiana Tech Bulldog basketball coach Kerry Rupp has finalized his staff with the addition of Karl Malone as director of basketball promotions and Cody Fueger as director of basketball operations.

Malone, who donated $350,000 to Tech's athletic department in conjunction with his hiring, and Fueger join associate head coach Nikita Johnson and assistants Rennie Bailey and Curtis Condie on the Bulldogs staff.

SEC won't push for Division I-A football playoff

Florida president Bernie Machen has abandoned his call for a Division I-A football national championship playoff, according to a report by David Climer of the Nashville Tennessean.

Machen said he was "done" after the 12 presidents of Southeastern Conference schools discussed the current Bowl Championship Series and Machen's playoff proposal for one hour on the final day of the SEC spring meeting in Destin, FL.

Machen, whose Gators won the national championship by beating Ohio State in the BCS title game in January, had spent the last five months crusading for change in the BCS system.

He left Friday's meeting convinced that the SEC will pursue tweaks in the system when the current BCS contract expires in 2010.

Hargreaves joins East Carolina football staff

Vernon Hargreaves has been named defensive ends coach and special teams coordinator at East Carolina, ECU head coach Skip Holtz announced Friday.

Hargreaves’ appointment with the Pirates will mark a reunion with Holtz as the pair worked together for four seasons at Connecticut (1994-97) when Holtz was was the Huskies head coach. Hargreaves left UConn in 1997 to accept a position on the Miami (FL) staff.

Hargreaves’ assignment to handle ECU’s ends, coupled with Donnie Thompson’s recent departure, has enabled Holtz to realign other staff positions on the defensive side of the ball.

Former outside linebackers coach Rock Roggeman will take over responsibility for the defensive tackles while defensive coordinator Greg Hudson, who handled middle linebacking play in 2006, will now guide all three linebacker slots.

Holtz also announced the promotion of secondary coach Rick Smith to the assistant head coaching position.

In addition to his defensive duties, Hargreaves will also assume the special teams coordinator’s role formerly held by Don Yanowsky.

Paper: Grant in the mix for Gators hoops job

Miami native Anthony Grant, a former Florida assistant under Billy Donovan whose Virginia Commonwealth team upset Duke in the NCAA Tournament in March, is a likely contender for the Gators job, according to the Miami Herald. Larry Shyatt, Donovan's lead assistant last season, is a former head coach at Clemson.

Tulsa's Korbe shares Byron Nelson honor

The Golf Coaches Association of America has announced that Tulsa golfer Sam Korbe and Roberto Castro of Georgia Tech are recipients of the 2007 Byron Nelson Award.

Candidates for the award are graduating seniors who exemplify outstanding performance throughout their career in academics and golf.

Korbe recently received his undergraduate degree and is planning on furthering his education by attending medical school at the University of Oklahoma. He completed his career at Tulsa with a 3.74 grade point average in biochemistry.

On the golf course, Korbe has maintained a 72.6 stroke average and has placed among the top-20 in eight tournaments this season, including five top-5 performances.

He was a second-team all-Conference USA selection and was one of three Tulsa golfers selected to the five-member C-USA All-Academic team.
