Quotes
“In my opinion, [the AAC is] underrated on a national level, in terms of quality of play. The last couple years, I think you’ve seen it get even better. I think part of that is that they have really good quarterback play. Not just East Carolina, but everybody in that league." - VT Head Coach Justin Fuente
"Suffice it to say that as of right now, the East Carolina State Pirates are coming to Lane, and we need to take them for what they are; our serious smash-mouth football playing accidental rivals. We need to be prepared for a tough contest that we take as seriously as we take with any ACC team." - Mighty Fahvaag, Gobblercountry.com
Go Pirates!

I think our 4 turnovers to South Carolina's 0 had more to do with last weekend.

Don't exaggerate. It's only half the roster.
...and yet we are still behind the number of heisman candidates at Cincy, Houston and most likely the Florida twins. Heck, most would argue we are behind Memphis and UCONN...even Temple.

When you think about it all FBS football players are eligible to win the award so they are all heisman candidates.

RE: East Carolina @ Virginia Tech Game Thread
B/c of Hokie Mark I wouldn't want VT to lose but than again I can't turn my back on our AAC brothers.
I like ECU return to their regular dominating football ways, the AAC needs you back East Carolina.
