Chuck Pearsall on Pirates hold the Aces

In the words of the immortal Larry the Cable Guy, I don't care who you are, that's a good win.

Pirate4ever on UConn exit opens door for hot new rivalry

Southern Mississippi would be an old time rival and natural fit from a tradition standpoint. The two have a long and excellent football tradition going back at least to the 70's. So. Miss. has a strong football tradition and given a chance to play in a better league would probably soon have their team back at their old level of outstanding play. We already have to recruit against 4 in state ACC schools. We don't need another in state rival on equal conference footing with us.

C. E. Thomas on Pirates, 19-11, on the outside looking in

How can anyone with a .375 (6-10) conference record complain about not being in the tournament?

...though AS being added would likely make ECU's recruiting job that much more difficult.

Trying to manufacture rivalries generally doesn't work. Boise State, Army and App State would all enhance the conference.

Marshall : natural rivalry / history with ECU / location / successful football / no threat to ECU in recruiting unlike App St / ODU / Charlotte Marshall

Gene Stallings on UConn exit opens door for hot new rivalry

I agree that we should play App at least every other year. I think that the conference needs to pick a program that will boost the power of the conference with a known National name and history.

Baseball Buc on UConn exit opens door for hot new rivalry

This long-time Pirates fan has no envy for the ACC and no desire to play the Apps every year. But that doesn't mean the Bucs won't play anyone, anytime anywhere. Time to rebuild the Pirates and bust some Apps, break a Wave or roast a Ram. Whatever it takes to break thru! Go Pirates!!

Jon Forthbright on UConn exit opens door for hot new rivalry

"There is one other solution, of course. And that is to go out and find the Pirates a suitable partner by filling the UConn vacancy with a program that is not only located in close proximity to Greenville, but has a large, passionate fan base and a track record on the field that would only enhance the ACC’s already strong brand as a Power 6 entity." LOL - ACC envy creeps in again!

George on UConn exit opens door for hot new rivalry

What about Liberty, they are pouring a bunch of money into athletics and are moving in the right directions. If the AAC waits two or three years to make a move, Liberty will likely be in a position to add depth to the AAC, thus becoming a regional partner for ECU.

Doug on Houston’s construction project on schedule

This was the right article at the right time. To Mike Houston's credit (X<3), he is repairing much more damage considering Thompson was in for the typical 2 yrs while Scottie Montgomery (yikes) was afforded 3 very long, poorly performing years. Houston is rebuilding faster than expected imho given the depth of the hole he's digging Pirate Nation out of.

Phil on Houston’s construction project on schedule

Glad to read your honest and realistic view of ECU football, and frankly an column that could be written about ECU athletics as a whole. This is a breath of fresh air after reading Brett “ACC” Friedlander’s column earlier this week.

Irish Spectre on Hope, promise wearing down Pirate Nation

This is somewhat beside the point of the article, but I find interesting that the one play called out from the football game was the muffed kickoff late. I think that the bigger failure was that 4th and 20 SMU conversion for the TD from the ECU 31 right before it. For the ECU d not to stop that was pretty much inexcusable, and frankly in my view made the Pirates undeserving of the "W." ...but undoubtedly they are improving, and significantly. They will roll over UConn. Tulsa will be a legit test, but, barring a step backward (thinking USF), I anticipate them taking that one, also.
