BIRMINGHAM — The preliminaries are
finally over. It's really time to go bowling in Birmingham.
Papajohns.com Bowl Eve was
another busy day for the East Carolina football team.
Friday morning, the Pirate captains
joined Coach Skip Holtz, the Pirate cheerleaders and Pee Dee on a visit
to the local Children's Hospital. Pirate senior Eric Graham was
especially excited about the visit.
"I've been around children my
entire life," said Graham. "That's what I'm studying at East Carolina,
so to put a smile on a little kid's face is really something. It's a
very heartwarming experience."
The entire squad took part in the
official "KickOff Luncheon" today. Archie Manning was the guest speaker.
Manning, of course, has a couple of sons who excel with the pigskin in
the pros.
Coach Holtz had his final meeting
with the media today. He says his Pirates are ready.
"They've worked very hard and I
think they'll bring that same mentality to the game tomorrow," Holtz
said. "We'll certainly play hard, and I think we'll play well."
