BIRMINGHAM — East Carolina spent
another busy day on Thursday getting ready for Saturday's
PapaJohns.com Bowl.
The Pirates visited the Civil
Rights Institute in the morning. The museum was a tremendous learning
experience for the squad. Several of the ECU players spent several
minutes reading about the different displays.
"I thought it was something
special," said senior Eric Graham. "Some of the displays really pulled
at your feelings, to see how people used to act."
The Pirates then worked out for
just over an hour at Legion Field. The spirited session concluded with
the first annual coaches game, which Pirate coach Skip Holtz called a
new bowl tradition.
Thursday night featured the BBQ and
Bowling Challenge. East Carolina, led by coaches Junior Smith and Donnie
Kirkpatrick, came out on top.
Coach Holtz allegedly bowled a 179.
The Pirate captains will visit a
children's hospital Friday morning. The Kickoff Luncheon is set for
Friday afternoon.
