No press box access? No blog

I've been doing a live blog at whatever game I cover on Friday nights. Judging by the number of hits, it seems to be going over well. I will be at the showdown tonight between Gateway and McKeesport, but there will be no live blog because McKeesport isn't allowing reporters in the press box.

McKeesport's press box isn't very big to begin with and school officials feel they can't fit all of the media members in there. Coaches from both teams will be in the press box, as well as clock operators, those filming for both teams, and statisitcians from both schools. Plus, Comcast is televising the game to be shown tomorrow night, and two seats will be taken up by TV announcers.

So, it's kind of hard to type and do a live blog when you don't have anywhere to type or put your computer. McKeesport has set up a tent in an end zone with tables. So I will roam the sidelines and hopefully give you a halftime update and a final score.
