I say we hit up NASA for some 'heaters' for the sidelines ...
The ECU sidelines that is.

Mark Lindsey is the guy you referenced he still covers ECU athletics but his Rival site vanished. Over the last two years we've made some upgrades DFS. The Town Bank Tower was added on the south side and this year we upgraded all the in game video board while adding ribbon boards all around. It's added to the in game experience.
Our defense has been strong against the run better than the pass defense.

Whoever you are, I love you. Thanks for coming over and chatting/sharing. I’m looking forward to a UCF blowout, no offense. I could always be wrong, but I’ve watched a lot of ECU and UCF, I don’t think it’s close. Good luck though.

Stadium still looks good.
I guess usf will have to bash ecu’s stadium going forward. Usf’s new stadium will be $10 billion and be 3x the size of cowboys stadium in Texas.
Seeing their stadium the biggest thing that I think we need is an expanded Roth Tower on top of the south club, if not more than the south club. As of now its rather small, and would add premium seats and provide more shade to the west side of the stadium. Would rather than than adding seats way up in the endzone, which are the least desirable location in any stadium.
The good news is the guys will be practicing in the cooler weather before they head to ECU. Should be better acclimated thanks to this cold front.
Did anyone read it this way the first time ... overlooking
Hey, anything helps! @Mikesi would make a great scout team distraction!

Just saw this quote on an ECU board. They are very protective of Ahlers, which is kind of odd since they have done nothing in the 9 years he has played there, not even a conference championship game appearance. Hail Perriman broke their program. He has been very inconsistent the whole time, and considering our secondary is a clown car of talent all on their own, our biggest challenge may be their running game, including Ahlers.
I really don’t see this game being very close. OL seems to have gotten their act together, that was the main thing holding back this offense. I think the Defense will hold them down, offense will continue to excel. I’m expecting a similar game result to the FAU or SMU scores.
It would be great if just once we scored first. I know my blood pressure would greatly appreciate it.
Well lookie here. UC friggin' F. What I predict is pain. Pirates roll in convincing fashion Saturday.
Here's the history. Holton is a Greenville native born and raised and has been part of the Greenville sports scene for years. He established numerous Greenville Little League records, including most single-season home runs at age 12 and played in the Little League World series. He led his HS football team to play in two state championships in 2016/17 signing with ECU in 2018. He had offers from NC State, Charlotte, Wake Forest and interest from Alabama as a TE. As everyone knows ECU had some leadership issues dating back to 2015 that led our football program into oblivion. Holton chose ECU to help rebuild the program. When Scotty Montgomery was fired 2019 he chose to stay with Coach Houston. This was a total rebuild of the program.
Here is some did you knows?
Holton and his dad Morgan.
So why did I post that picture? Morgan Ahlers has been the in game announcer for both football and men's basketball for over 20 years. Holton was raised a Pirate.
Morgan doing his thing in game.
I don't know if there are any other situations like this in college football at the moment.
Holton got the crap beat out of him for three years during the rebuild and he always got up and came back for more. He's been a terrific ambassador for ECU and Greenville. This is his 5th year and he will walk out of here with both an undergraduate and graduate degree and many AAC passing records.
That's why the fan allegiance.

I always appreciate that kind of loyalty to a team. My cousin who was raised here in Winter Garden ended up in Greenville (along with his wife whom he met there) as chem profs at ECU for many years. They fell in love with the town and the school. Thanks for sharing that.
Can UCF's Defense Slow Down East Carolina's Keaton Mitchell Again?
The UCF Knights must keep the East Carolina Pirates Keaton Mitchell contained.
Someone take this guys money...
The Pirates whiffed on a home opportunity against N.C. State – losing by a point – but I like them to cover (and win) Saturday.

ECU +5 vs. UCF
Sign me up for Mike Houston’s team as a home underdog. The Pirates are just 4-3 this season, but this feels like the biggest home game on ECU’s conference schedule. I’m expecting a packed house – 38,000 people saw the Pirates beat Memphis in four overtimes last weekend – and much like SMU, I feel like East Carolina is poised for a season-defining win.The Pirates whiffed on a home opportunity against N.C.

I hate the old logo UCF over the FL decal on our helmets this week. Looks super generic, was never a fan. Let’s bring the Pegasus out.
I don't know anything about ECU this season but I'm feeling a 2 TD win for our team. Go Knights!
Thanks for indulging me. Here's to great injury free game!
They are finishing the field all that is needed are the teams and fans.

KNOW YOUR FOE: East Carolina riding emotional high into rubber match with UCF
UCF and East Carolina have split 20 all-time meetings evenly, though the Knights have won each of the past six head-to-head games.

ECU knows it will take near perfect execution against fast, skilled UCF
UCF at ECU Saturday 7:30 PM
Today begins the “difficult” part of the season. We started with 5/6 home games and 6/6 games in the state. We finish with 4/6 road games. All 6 games are winnable, but all 6 are also loseable (even USF, as we nearly saw last year due to the rivalry aspect). Can we finally overcome the road woes? Today’s game won’t be easy, and neither will road games against Memphis and Tulane. And then home against Cinci, and also home against Navy (can we overcome the triple option this year?).
If UCF wins the toss elect to receive. Gives the defense time to show up.
Maybe. It is odd that we have actually been outscored in the first quarter 38-34 against FBS opponents. Definitely would be nice to get off to faster starts.
I get your point. I think the D has to make adjustments and thats why it takes them 2-3 drives to "show up"
This is what happens when players likely had the same attitude as you did.
