The college football season starts tonight! Join our college football beat writers every Thursday during the season, beginning today for live online chats at post-gazette.com/chat.

The lineup is as follows:

• 11 a.m.: Ron Musselman on Penn State

• noon: Paul Zeise on Pitt

• 1 p.m.: Colin Dunlap on West Virginia.

Then check back in during the Pitt game tonight for the first in a series of live college football Game Day chats this season. College football expert Ray Fittipaldo will lead tonight's discussion.

Then, each Saturday throughout the season, you can debate what's going on during some of the key Pitt, Penn State and WVU games -- you can gloat, cheer, whine or just analyze the action.

Game Day chats will focus on local college football teams, but comments and questions about the national college football scene are welcome, too.

Again, The first chat opens at 8 tonight, a half-hour before Pitt and Utah kick off, and continues throughout the game. The next chat will open at 11:30 a.m. Saturday, just before the Penn State vs. Youngstown State game.

Bring it!
