ECU vs. App. State – Let’s Support the Pirates

There is a viewing site at LKN Sports Bar Grill in Cornelius, shops on the green on the green .  The owners have said they would carry the game and want to be the viewing site for ECU @ the Lake this year.

 The game is listed as MSN/ITN (Greenville, NC).  In the past Greenville has been bad about scrambling the signal out of Greenville and made it tough to carry the game via satellite.  The game is listed on the Direct TV channel and the owners of LKN Sports Bar & Grill said they plan on carrying the game.

Come Support the Pirates at the Lake Norman Sports Bar and Grill.

Patrick Pinkney, our hero in the beginning of the year…stunk it up!

We could not hold on to the ball.  We could not catch the ball without putting a knee on the ground.

I was extremely disappointed in the mental mistakes!!

ECU-VA YUK

Did anyone watch the game Saturday.  I had to quit watching in the first half because the Pirates were stinking it up.  I got excited in the second half when they got the ball back at 28-20.  Then…Pinkney fumbled.  Protect the ball for gosh sakes!!!

Some of the receivers for VA were so open I could have completed the passes.  I was at the Va. Tech game and this is not the same team…

What is going on with the Pirates?

Two weeks in a row of dissappointment!

ECU Pirates Ranked 14 in the Nation

After opening the season by upsetting two ranked teams, the Pirates earned themselves a place in the AP Top 25 for the first time in nine years.

East Carolina’s latest big win was its third consecutive against a ranked opponent, dating to last season’s Hawaii Bowl victory against Boise State, and probably the Pirates’ most impressive.

East Carolina manhandled previously No. 8 West Virginia 24-3, shutting down Pat White and the Mountaineers’ speedy spread offense. That came a week after the Pirates took out Virginia Tech.

The last time East Carolina was on a roll like this was 1999, when the Pirates were ranked most of the season before falling out on the final poll of the season. East Carolina hasn’t been ranked this highly since 1991, when the Pirates finished the season at No. 9.
