For the first time since the 1998-99 season, the Lady Pirates basketball team is 4-0. With a 75-70 win over American, the lady Pirates are taking steps in the right direction to compete with the best in Conference USA. For a second there, I was wondering if the Lady Pirates already had a basketball practice facility. If only the men's team was playing as well.

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.

ECU has given the go ahead for a 7,000 east endzone expansion beginning this upcoming December. The Dowdy-Ficklen stadium expansion has been much talked about and much anticipated over the past year. Student Pirate Club members and the ECU Marching Pirates would be moved from their current location to the 7,000 seat expansion. This would open up 3,500-4,000 seats between the 35 yard lines for Pirate Club members.

If you have ever read Boneyard Banter, there is a pretty good chance you know who Whitey is. He could just be another username on Boneyard that you see replying in a funny way to a topic or coming up with a clever nickname for something about the Pirates.

Get ready for the Pirate Club's "A Night in G-Vegas" event that will serve as a fundraiser for the 2009 scholarship fund. I can't think of a better way to bring in a lot of money for the 2009 scholarship fund and also give the Pirate fans an opportunity to meet and greet and gamble (fake money of course). Dinner and drinks will be included and you will have the chance to win a bunch of great prizes like beach vacations and off-shore fishing trips. Read the post to find out more about the prizes, the food, the celebrity dealers and much, much more.

The official ECU license plates for the state of Virginia showed up in the mail today and thanks to @jondeutsch on Twitter, we have a picture of the plate on his car. If you are in North Carolina, Virginia or Maryland and don't have the official plate yet, it is time to step it up. Check out the rest of the post to find out more information on how to get them and starting supporting the old E.C. (officially) on your car.
