Glennn T. Todwin on Thanks, Governor Cooper, but no thanks

The potential liabilities must be weigh against the probable assets that might be gained. It seems that the differences are not reconcilable and ill feelings will remain regardless of the path the Pirates follow. Can ECU afford to walk away from a 100 grand or more? Emotions are in the tank. How many Pirate fans will pull for VT during any sporting event in the future? At this point, will pursing compensation aggravate the negativeness that exist between the two schools. I think not.

I would agree with this attitude but VPI is not willing to buy out the games they just said we aren't coming. VPI considers ECU in default because we opted to not travel during a category four hurricane. ECU cannot just say well ok. ECU needs to be compensated for the games VPI backed out of!

Why would the governor get involved as long as it appeared the two schools were working on a solution? VT didn't make any real move on the contract until December 22nd, when they cancelled the games in Greenville, barely a month ago. The governor correctly let the two administrations try to work it out and only got involved when it started appearing it was not going to work. He has plenty more important things to work on.

Wrong ... The requirement that only one FCS opponent is allowed to count toward bowl eligibility is waived if a "unique or catastrophic situation" prevented the team from finding a suitable FBS opponent to fill its schedule for the following season. VA Tech opting out in December qualifies as a "unique or catastrophic situation."

The Kidd on Thanks, Governor Cooper, but no thanks

Amen, brother! 4 months too late he finally read the memo that ECU is the 2nd largest University in the state with a whole lot of voters in NC. Anyone can see this for what it is. Where was he when this was going on and being discussed on the news? If he really wanted to help he would have been involved then. What a phony.

It's time for all Pirates to move on from this. We should just cancel the remaining games up there and be done with the Gobblers.

C. E. Thomas on Thanks, Governor Cooper, but no thanks

It will take seven wins to get to a bowl since we have two FCS schools on our schedule. Tech did not do us any favors! The governor is 4 months late, anyway.

Donald Trump on Thanks, Governor Cooper, but no thanks

It's funny how many times we wished our governor had gotten involved during conference expansion to support ECU, like the Virginia governor at the time of ACC expansion did to help Virginia Tech. Yet, now that Governor Cooper steps up to support us, all you can say is it was a political ploy? Most people are not so unappreciative to make such unnecessary claims.

Brett on Pirate Nation buying what Houston is selling

Given the results of Gilbert's first month on the job, it's not unreasonable to have confidence that he will make another quality hire. The Pirates' new leadership bodes well for the future.

Swashbuckler on Pirate Nation buying what Houston is selling

I love your article with one tiny exception. If you think the women's basketball program is showing promise, you haven't been to a game lately or following events. Look who their wins are against. The program is in disarray. A coach who misled her fans, over-hyped her recruiting classes, and was a far better self promoter than coach, is gone. It will take another quality hire to get that "ship righted again" too.
