ECU Class of 94. I am sure this sounds like a broken record comment but man I am hurting with our Pirate Football. We used to be giant killers and no one wanted to play us and now people are scheduling us for homecoming. I thought Houston was the answer (and he may be) but will we ever get back to our winning ways?
AND should Ahlers be sitting and watching for a bit (or my opinion allowed to run more)? He is much more effective when he is a threat to run.
