By the way, I'm assuming that Westwood One will provide the live radio feed for the U.S. of that game.

How so? Because they start the season in Australia?

The game is at 10:35am Friday, September 11 in Melbourne. If the team plane leaves that evening for the 14.5 hour trip back home, they will arrive back in San Francisco mid-afternoon……on Friday, September 11. Next game would be nine days away.
