-Mountaineers
manhandle Pirates
By the time West Virginia's second
stringers hit the field Saturday in the second half, their only mission
was to keep the clock moving and stay awake during the No. 5
Mountaineers' thrashing of East Carolina.
-Reynaud's
reverse doomed Pirates
While ECU quarterback Patrick
Pinkney's first quarter interception Saturday seemed to swing any
momentum away from the Pirates � trailing just 3-0 at the time and
driving toward the West Virginia end zone � WVU's 64-yard reverse in the
same quarter was the true telling point in the game.

ECU Athletics is rapidly reaching a critical "tipping
point." We can either seize the momentum that has been generated to
create a first-class program or we can risk another collapse like those
at other critical points in our athletic history. Going the extra mile
for a first-class program will require a renewed commitment on the part
of every single Pirate.

Football: Early season schedule prepares Golden Eagles for trip to Boise
"I've never seen an East Carolina crowd like that since
I've been going over there," said Lytrel Pollard, USM's special teams
coordinator/defensive backs coach, who first traveled to Greenville,
N.C., as a player in 1994. "It kind of helps that we've been on the road
in two hostile environments. Tennessee and East Carolina, those are two
really good football teams, and there is no difference next Thursday
going into that environment."
