Don: I appreciate your comment. Few people younger than about 60 have a grasp of this important history about ECU's fight to serve the region and the state. I can personally attest that the article, in its original print format and in a couple of subsequent online versions, has drawn more interest than any other story we've run in Bonesville's 20-year existence. — Danny Whitford, Editor

Thank you for running this again. It was great to here about the fight to bring the medical school to Greenville !! That's the Spirit of The East and saga of a real PIRATE!

Our starting outfielders are batting between .350 and .400 on a 13-3 team. Yet you want to replace one with a player with 10 AB's? Cliff's on top of it, trust him.

Skylar Brooks has a batting average of .444 ! Could he be a starter
in the outfield ?

I was at the game and was surprised we didn’t drive the basket and get fouled. We’re pretty good from the foul line and that was wasted with only four attempts. I do love the potential I see but would love to see some three point shots made that I see made in practice!

"USF was 20 of 27 at the free throw line while the Pirates were four of six."
27 FT chances vs. 6, far and away the difference maker, and EXACTLY what I hate about basketball, the sport that far more than any other major sport is affected by grossly subjective refereeing.
It's no coincidence that it was the home team that had 4 1/2 times more chances from the stripe. The word is "travesty."

Coach Godwin does the things required to build a program. There is a culture with Pirate baseball, it's not just on the diamond, it's off field attitudes and classroom. These are truly student athletes that we are proud of.

Worked with him as a Graduate Assistant best and most humbling experience. Hope that the bridge can be mended.

Great analysis and overview. Would love to see Minges filled up for these guys as that place has potential to be a true home court advantage.
J Gardner has been a true Workhorse with an exceptional Leadership attitude and mentality. Huge Props to him

Class of 70 here....We have had many coaches since my graduation in 1970. I thank all of them for contributing to our football program at ECU. Ruffin was right up there with the best of them. I hope the wounds inflicted on him are healed and he would welcome an Olive Branch.

Agree - good timing for some eyeball sweat for one of our one - he's a special, special man.

Brett,
I applaud your article and agree 100% with "bridging" Coach Ruff. We could not find a better Ambassador for our University. We should begin efforts when Ruff thinks the time is right. Thanks for this article. Deva Reece . Burlington, NC Class of '72.
