Dowdy-Ficklen among 'shrines'
on pigskin 'tour'
It may not bring with it the national
hype associated with ESPN's traveling College GameDay circus, but many
college gridiron aficionados south of the Mason-Dixon Line consider the
attention surrounding stops along the "The Southern Fried Football Tour" as
the next best thing.
This fall, East Carolina fans will have
their first-ever opportunity to experience the hoopla up close and personal
when the tour with a drawl veers into Greenville on Saturday, Oct. 1, to set
up shop at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium for the Pirates' 6 p.m. game with Southern
Mississippi.
Instead of talking heads Chris Fowler
and Lee Corso, Charlotte radio personality Mark "The Packman" Packer will be
in town carrying out The Southern Fried Football Tour's stated objective of
visiting "the great college football shrines in the South."
Mark Packer, the son of CBS college
basketball analyst Billy Packer, is the daily host of "Primetime with the
Packman," a syndicated sports talk show that premiered in 1997 and is heard
across the Carolinas.
The show is carried locally by WGHB-AM
Pirate Radio 1250, which announced this week that ECU would be one of The
Southern Fried Football Tour's destinations.
Pirate Radio 1250, an affiliate of the
Pirate Sports Radio Network, also produces an extensive lineup of
local sports programming focusing on ECU.
The Southern Fried Football Tour's
announced 2005 itinerary:
Sept. 3 Texas A&M at
Clemson
Sept. 10 South Carolina at Georgia
Sept. 24 North Carolina at N.C. State
Oct. 1 Southern Miss at East Carolina
Oct. 15 Georgia Southern at Appalachian State
Nov. 5 Miami at Virginia Tech
Nov. 12 Florida at South Carolina
Dec. 3 Atlantic Coast Conference Championship
