This is what 4.2 looks like
You MUST watch this video. It is an excellent grassroots tribute to Chris Johnson's days at ECU. The Titans are lucky to have this ECU running back who holds the record for the fastest electronic time ever at the NFL combine, 4.24 seconds. He is a beast. Thanks to Andy Hutchins from The Arena Blog for pointing it out to me. The video pays a fine tribute to the time that CJ spent playing for the Pirates.

It was brought to my attention today that Yahoo! Sport's rivals.com listed the Pirates as No. 36 on their Preseason 120 list. Not too far off from the top 25, eh? The article breaks down who will be this year's star power, impact newcomer, and the biggest problem on both the Pirate offense and defense.

Monday, July 6, 2009
Over the weekend I received an email from a friend who is sharing the story of two ECU alumni who crossed paths on the battlefield in Iraq in a most unusual manner. When out on their mission, the two soldiers chanted what most would hear on a game day at Dowdy Ficklen, not on the battlefield in Iraq.

One plus is that fans of opposing schools either have to stay overnight in Greenville (a big boost for the local economy) or drive a long way early Saturday morning.
