Good riddance to ECU. Happy to have them off the VT schedule for good.

This article is littered with false information. Wheres the info about why the game was cancelled? ECU agreed to wait until Wednesday to call the game and then posted in theirnofficial twitter hours later that they were headed to Florida. VT was scrambling to find safe haven for you and your players to be out of harms way including flights with our charter to Florida. You decide not to play VT and then not even a courtesy call to say you’ve changed your mind. Then agreed to talk about rescheduling the game and the day before VT and ECU are scheduled to talk about a makeup game you announce youve scheduled a home game against NCST! Again, not even a courtesy call. Idk about you but if a friend did this to me, I wouldn’t be friends with them anymore.
Best of luck pirates but our AD is not at fault here. ECU really dropped the ball here. Best of luck finding someone to play so close for the amount of money and P5 prestige.

Amen. And I will use the term "Hokie Tantrum" going forward!

VT was once my second favorite school as my son attended Tech one year. Not anymore, they have joined those in CH as my less favorites. Fact is I was pulling for Cincinnati in the Military Bowl who came through to provide Tech with a losing record this year. Great, after all UC is an AAC member and Tech is mud.!

I would like to see Gilbert reach out to USM to get that series restarted. I wouldn’t mind playing USM and Marshall on a rotating basis every few years.

As long as Badcock is the AD up there we should never schedule anything with VT. We have enough problems without dealing with that kind of irresponsibility.

Did not realize that you were leaving, you will be missed. Keep on swimming.

Feeling very optimistic. Can’t wait for fall 2019!

I agree with your comments John. The Pirate Nation must step up and dramatically increase membership in the Pirate Club (5x to 10x current member levels) . I have some thoughts about how to increase PC visibility to the average fan who probably does not understand the impact the PC has with a winning athletic program. I won't go into details here but will express my thoughts with PC leadership because membership is critical. High expectations for wining are not matching up with our weak revenues and this has been the case at ECU for quite some time.

Bring back Shane Carden in some capacity...he can galvanize the Pirate Nation

I just want to say thank you to Dave Hart for the hard work he has done to help turn around the athletic program. You do what is in the best interest for ECU. You will forever be a pirate.

Wow ! What an exciting week for the future of ECU football. The job is not finished. Everyone who
claims to care about Pirate football needs to be a contributor to the Pirate Club at some level regardless
of how far away you live from Greenville. Watching games on TV and not being a member of the
Pirate Club does nothing to support the program. I have been a season ticket holder and Pirate Club
member for 49 straight years. Go Pirates !

You must have never listened to any of Mos interviews. The line was very young as a result of the previous admin leaving the cabinets bare. Scotty brought in Jucos his first year trying to feel gaps but he knew he to many and it would hurt the program.

Houston is such a fresh breath!! Just watched his press conference and so wonderful to actually hear a football guy again. It's not about what you do so mush as how you do it!! Love that, exactly. Effort, discipline, accountability, determination, old school concepts that never expire!
He'll win some NC kids again in recruiting I'm certain. And yes, I agree with the last comments, O line and D line. Houston said the O line sets the identity of the team! What a great statement. This man gets it!
So happy to see him in G'vegas!!! Go Pirates!! let's fill up the stadium next fall and have some fun again.

From the beginning, Montgomery should have seen the O line and D line was very weak. That never seemed to be addressed. We're should start there and get the proper foundation for winning first. We need to address our budget as well. Seems almost everyone in the AAC had a larger budget than we do. As for talent, David Garrard said this past summer that our receiving corps was as good as he's seen at ECU. He also said our QBs would have to run for their lives to last a season. We're not gonna out recruit ACC schools in our state until we win, and the best talent usually goes out of state. Be patient and let's rack up some wins and create depth in the trenches with talent there first and the rest will fall in line. We also need to concentrate on the AAC and win there before worrying about the rest of the schedule (fans especially).
