ECU - they were always viewed as the red-headed step child back in NC.

I don't have a problem with them, & if they do well, it helps the state of NC. But, I know a lot of people that view them just above a junior college.

really says a lot about the coaching move . mac mc carthy has been successful in the past, but he has an uphill job ahead.

[Fumblerooskies]

Just say it...
...he was "Reassigned to other duties in the Department of Athletics." In other words...
..."his services as coach were no longer required but since we have to pay his salary he might as well do something to earn it."

I am very happy for Mack though. I speak with him at least once or twice a year. He was in broadcasting and is sort of a mentor of mine. I think he will do a great job. ECU is a place that can be successful. I am curious about the timing too. I hope they give him the job permanently if they haven't already.

that had to be tough on terry holland. he recruited ricky to UVA and they are very close.

Sometimes getting booted upstairs is in everyone's best interests. Ricky is a great guy and hopefully this works out for him.

I always viewed ECU more as a drunk cousin with herpes than a red-headed step child. But I'm still a Pirate fan.

I always viewed ECU more as a drunk cousin with herpes than a red-headed step child.

In my mind, I've always regarded them on about the same level as Radford.

I was thinking of making that same joke but I didn't think Id be able to word it right
