RE: ECU accepts Military Bowl bid.
I find myself in the awkward position of pulling for ECU to go winless every year, versus pulling for them to win because it is good for the conference we will soon be joining. What the heck, Go Pirates!

Hell yeah! Show up and show out. Annapolis is fun little town. If the weather cooperates definitely try and spend some time.

Congrats to ECU. This is a really nice bowl game. We got poured on, and it was the worst drive home in my life, but that wasn't the bowls fault. Hopefully you guys enjoy it. You've earned it.

RE: ECU accepts Military Bowl bid.
I am glad they announced it early as it will actually allow me to coordinate time off from work of it is possible, as well as nab some cheap plane tickets to the states. Having a chance to catch a game for once after a few years is quite nice. Anything in particular to look forward to in Maryland?

I find myself in the awkward position of I used to cheer for you guys on the side because I live and grew up in Charlotte but now you guys are about to be our in-state enemy.

We have been enemies before, so you will figure it out. It seems natural once you do. In bowl games though I think I will have to pull for ECU.

I never want to play them again. I want their fans to never get the chance to payback the last 70 pt beatdown. I want them to die with that loss.
We did beat UNC one more time after that with Scotty mo, 41-19 in '18. As far as the bowl game is concerned, it will likely be the winner of VT/UVA (currently tied at 24 all entering the 4th quarter on the Acc network), although Louisville & BC remain possibilities as well.
It will be a poor showing if we draw BC. Most people don't even realize they're in the ACC.
I'm one of those people, I always forget that BC is ACC.
I always forget Temple has a football team.

Im just glad that my father was one of students that voted against us being UNC Greenville. I don't think I could tolerate that moniker. Charlotte will never be hated much as UNC by ECU fans....NEVER.
