TOWSON-MORGAN STATE OPENER TO BE TELEVISED  BALTIMORE, Md. The season-opening football game between local rivals Towson University and Morgan State University, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 3 at Minnegan Field at Johnny Unitas Stadium, will be televised by Comcast SportsNet. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.
"We are excited to return to Johnny Unitas Stadium to open the season and rekindle a local rivalry," said Floyd Kerr[1], Morgan State Director of Athletics.
"With Comcast SportsNet broadcasting our games, this gives the two schools another avenue to promote our institutions and their programs," said MSU head coach Donald Hill-Eley[2]."It's exciting that this year's game will be televised and we're hoping that MSU fans will still come out and support us at the game."
Calling the game will be Comcast SportsNet anchor/reporter and Towson graduate Brent Harris, '95 and former Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl Champion linebacker and Comcast SportsNet football analyst Brad Jackson.
The Tigers and the Bears will be meeting for the 23rd time in a series that started in 1979. Although the Tigers own a 16-6 series lead, Morgan State won the most recent meeting in 2009. Towson and Morgan State have met in the season opener eight times since 1979. Each team has won four times when they are matched up in the season opener. Towson has won four of the six season openers that have been played at Unitas Stadium. In 1979, 1980, 1981, 1998, 2002, 2005 and 2006, the Tigers and the Bears have met in the season opener. This is the third time that the Towson-Morgan game has been televised in the Baltimore area. In 1998, WMAR-TV aired the Tigers' 15-10 win and again carried the 1999 contest. The MSU Athletics Ticket Office is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tickets are also available at all Ticketmaster locations and viawww.ticketmaster.com[3]. References
