Join Al Myatt and Kevin Monroe for the Bonesville Pregame Show as they look ahead to East Carolina’s home opener with Appalachian State. They reflect on the Pirates’ road loss last week to Alabama before launching into a preview of the continuation of the cross-state rivalry with the Mountaineers at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Saturday (12:00 p.m., ESPU). Myatt and Monroe also touch on the career progress of Monroe’s gridiron savvy sons in the high school and college ranks.

Myatt and Monroe analyze the Pirates and their opponent ahead of kickoff each week. Seasoned by five decades of experience as a sports journalist, Myatt has been an anchor columnist for Bonesville since the site’s founding in 2001. Monroe, an ECU Hall of Famer who served a lengthy stint as color analyst for the Pirate Sports Network, is contributing to Bonesville for the 19th straight year.
