Q&A with GobblerCountry.com

Early last week, the editor over at GobblerCountry.com, furrer4heisman, sent me direct message on Twitter to see if we would be interested in doing an interview exchange between our two blogs. They have a great preview up for the ECU/Virginia Tech game on their site so go check it out. I just tossed together a five random questions that I thought people might want to know about the upcoming game on Thursday and the Virginia Tech football team.

How to smoke a Hokie…

I can't think of a much better feeling then getting off of work a little early and heading out to the parking lots and tailgate fields around Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium to get ready for a Thursday night game on ESPN against the Virginia Tech Hokies. The buzz around Greenville must be incredible as everyone prepares for the big night. Check out the post for some information about parking restriction for tailgating on Thursday and an awesome recipe called "The Smokin' Hokie"...

Happy Halloween!

I posted something on Twitter earlier today to see if anyone would like to submit a picture of their ECU-themed Jack-O-Lantern to the site. We got two great submissions from Richard DeVita and Karen Watterson showing their Pirate pride with their ECU-themed Jack-O-Lanterns. If you didn't have a chance to send pictures of your Pirate Jack-O-Lantern today, send it to me at 200YearsTooLate@gmail.com and I will get it posted as soon as I can.

Four thousand, one hundred and seventeen?!?!?

I knew the stadium was empty last night while watching the game on ESPN2 HD from the comfort of my own living room but I just didn't realize how empty it was until Denny O'Brien (@TheDOB on Twitter) tweeted that they announced over the P.A. that 4,117 people were in attendance for the game. I thought I had read his update wrong or maybe he had accidentally left out a digit. Nope.

ECU Homecoming: 100 Years of Treasured Traditions

There really is no better time to head to Greenville for a football game than Homecoming (unless we land home field for the Conference USA championship). I can't wait. I have spoken to a lot of my friends that are setting up big plans for the game. We are all getting prepared to stir-fry Rice.

MASN to Televise Exclusive ECU vs. Rice Game Live on October 17

Adding to an impressive slate of East Carolina programming this season, MASN will exclusively produce and televise ECU's Homecoming game against Rice on October 17th at 3:30 p.m. live from Greenville. This will increase to nine the number of Pirate football games being televised by MASN this year as part of the network's partnership with ECU.

Looks like a Pirate snagged SI.com’s Super Fan this week. Check out the Purple standing out in a sea of Carolina Blue.

I did an interview with The 5th Corner before the UNC game and just had a chance to post it. I wasn’t right about the score though. Please check it out.

The Bizarro Pirates

I have to think that Pirate Nation is on deck with me when I ask this question: Why does a different Pirate team walk out of the locker room for the second half?
