COLLEGE PARK, Md. - University of Maryland head football coach Ralph Friedgen will join Mel Kiper Jr. and Andy Pollin on the air live this Saturday, July 28, on ESPN Radio's Gameday Show. Though Friedgen will be calling in from the road, the show is broadcast live from the ESPN Zone in Baltimore.

Friedgen will join Kiper and Pollin at approximately 12 noon EDT on the show that will be syndicated nationally. After talking to Friedgen -- one of four new head coaches in the Atlantic Coast Conference -- Kiper will go on to preview the ACC as he has previewed almost every major conference on the Saturday show throughout the past few weeks. The show can be heard locally on WTEM 980 AM in Washington D.C. and WBAL 1090 AM in Baltimore.
