Bob Owen on Portal brings veteran punter to ECU [update 7]

Appears to be the most formidable recruiting class we’ve had in awhile. 92 today. One of the oldest ECU fans.

Irish Spectre on Portal brings veteran punter to ECU [update 7]

Following up, on paper, the E. Williams get for the Pirates looks HUGE; between him and the RB they attracted from N. Texas (and others, too), 2026 is shaping up very promisingly for ECU.

Arthur Johnston on ECU may get Miami back-up QB

College football is now a minor league professional sport. Apparently, a free education is not enough for college athletes. I'm sure every parent that has to pay for their kid's education would think otherwise. This is the end of the "Student athlete". No more loyalty to school and no more rivalries of meaning. It's a sad day for those without tons of money. So, what do we have to do at ECU? Win the lottery? Please, if there is a billionaire out there with some extra cash laying around, ECU Football would be sincerely appreciative. Thank you and Goodnight!!!

I agree. That was a significant concern with Ditta, and may have factored into why he left. I'd think that he'll end up at a lesser program, and that staying put was his best chance of playing at the highest visibility program that his potential allows, but maybe he sensed that he just isn't "there," and didn't want to risk riding the pine next season.

We need a QB with height. You can't see over the lineman. Linemen are huge these days, most over 6'5".

Bob Owen on Pirates win another Military Bowl war

Pirates played smack mouth defense and deceptive offense. Thy shook off the bad call. Purple Power

Pirate63 on Pirates win another Military Bowl war

Grit, toughness, and determination won the day for the depleted Pirates. A 10 point underdog after the opt outs/portal jumpers left he Pirates shorthanded but not undone. Ditta showed he can play at this level and gain some important reps and confidence that will serve him and the team well coming into 2026. But the Pirate defense was the real winner for this team in this bowl. The D only gave up one TD to a very good Power four team, They battled every down and bent at times but never broke. Paint another bowl Purple!

Jerry on Pirates win another Military Bowl war

What a great effort by every Pirate player and coach!! Facing adversity going into the game from defectors, both players and coaches, the Pirates defense played their best game of the year. The offense was far from perfect, but played better than expected. Chaston Ditta was not overwhelmed by the moment, though he did have some tough moments. The TD passes he threw were no accidents, however, his lack of height is something that will have to be accounted for in the future. Coach Harrell, you would never accept the game ball… but you deserve it. WELL DONE, PIRATES!!

The Pirates played with epic heroism on both sides of the ball, but especially the defense. That whistle did not need to negate the Marlon Gunn TD, so it was actually two monumentally bad mistakes by the zebras in one play, and it led directly to a 14 point swing. Thankfully it wasn’t decisive, but that Rahja Harris-like bowl TD run became a mere footnote when it deserved to be central to the storyline. Blake Harrell has made himself to Pirates football what Cliff Godwin is to Pirates baseball. Katin Whouser??

Irish Spectre on Portal beckons Houser, Smith, Conner

Thanks for sticking with the team for a couple of weeks more to try to win a big bowl game, fellas; you still could’ve entered the portal. I’m sure that the Seniors on the team are especially grateful to you. If things don’t pan out for you in your next gigs, that’ll be poetic justice.

Irish Spectre on Coaching shuffle affects American recruiting

After the Pirates’ fairly strong regular season and stability at the head coach position, one would’ve expected MUCH better recruiting rankings than are being reported; hopefully they’re way off on that.

Pirate63 on When CFP stands for Change Football Playoffs

The NCAA has caused most of the problems we are not experiencing with college football. The NCAA must now work quickly to fix some of these problems to keep the college game healthy, fair and relevant.

8-yr4-yrdegreeguy on Bowl foe and venue subject of speculation

Just when you think ECU football is an afterthought, we get a run of good fortune with a coach who “gets” ECU football. I’m looking forward to the bowl game designation and the next unsuspecting opponent to walk the plank!
