ECU, Expansion, and Elephant in the Room - p53 - 08-02-2012 07:15 PM
First of all I believe if ECU was given an opportunity in the Big East they would do very well.
However the Big East nor the ACC or SEC will never give ECU a chance because of the elephant in the room.
Pirates are located in Greenville, North Carolina. The city is a huge liability. Compare Greenville to any other Big East football city. The other cities are bigger and more interesting than this city. Ask yourself this question, have you ever been to such a small sized city with the bumper to bumper traffic.
Take it one more step compare Greenville to any other city in the SEC or ACC. Greenville just doesnt measure up.
It is better that ECU fans realize that conference usa will be the best that it will get because of the city.

Hmm and people wonder why ECU fans are always in a sour mood, because garbage like this continues to get posted on this board. This deserves no serious response, because it's a joke thread that will hopefully be deleted quickly. You sir are an idiot.

Don't you have a bridge to guard against some goats?

Any place in North Carolina is better than half the sh*t holes in The SEC. The OP has probably never been to Starkville, Miss or Lexington, KY.

ECU's issue isn't Greenville. A lot of schools, VT included, do fine in small towns. ECU's issue is that there are 4 BCS teams in their state and two in each of the neighboring states.
Even UCF and USF didn't have as much competition with other schools in their markets as ECU does.

I just gave him -2 reputation points on general principles for that $hitty post.
RE: ECU, Expansion, and Elephant in the Room - p53 - 08-02-2012 07:27 PM
Name one city in the Big East, ACC, or SEC that compares to Greenville?
RE: ECU, Expansion, and Elephant in the Room - TerryD - 08-02-2012 07:28 PM
You are pointlessly trolling.
RE: ECU, Expansion, and Elephant in the Room - OrangeCrush22 - 08-02-2012 07:28 PM
The ACC already has four North Carolina programs. The Big East doesn't know what the hell it's doing. The SEC wants UNC or NCSU. That's why East Carolina has gotten screwed.

What are you even talking about? Greenville is a top 100 market yet you make it sound like Mayberry

Oh come on you know the folk in Greenville just recently got indoor plumbing. Pretty soon they might upgrade from horse and buggies to those fancy automobiles.

This guy alone is going to cause me to start cheering for ECU, on and off the field.
What is the point of a freaking Illinois fan doing a drive-by on ECU?
Re: ECU, Expansion, and Elephant in the Room - 72Tiger - 08-02-2012 07:32 PM
Greenville is better than Starkpatch,
Fayettenam, Albern, or Tuscalousy.

Lexington better than Greenville?
Wow!
Look i am just pointing out the obvious. dont get upset.
everyone knows it.
ECU deserves to be in the Big East but the city doesnt fit the conferences marketing campaign..

If this earth has an armpit, Lexington is it. Greenville, NC is a paradise compared to that trailer park in Central Kentucky.

TOGC,
Why are you hiding behind ? Just be a man and post your bull under your own name. BTW, I am from Chicago and I went to College at ECU? I happen to know that you have not taken a good look at Champaign-Urbana or for that matter Memphis if you thing Greenville is bad.

He is no Illinois fan, because if he had ever seen Greenville and then looked at Champaign-Urbana; then he would shut up. At least Greenville is near an ocean. While Champaign is near Urbana and Decatur.

If you talk to any non UK or UofL fan, most would say Lexington is preferable to Louisville.

If that's TOGC he's actually being kind compared to his normal trolling. I kinda doubt that's him.
