An Impact Moment - Chris Johnson and his 4.24 40-yard dash
With all the talk about McFadden and his 4.33 Forty, let us not forget Chris Johnson and his inhuman speed. EA's NCAA Football got it right, maybe we should pay more attention.

East Carolina remains option for Big East expansion
There are good reasons East Carolina is still being prominently mentioned among the candidates for Big East Conference expansion in football.
In fact, if average home attendance were the deciding factor, East Carolina would be the most logical choice, having averaged 49,665 fans per game last season in its 50,000-seat stadium in Greenville, N.C.
ECU football averaged 10,000 more...

High School Football Program Takes Recruiting Hoax Hook, Line and Sinker
Would you trust this man to be a college football recruiter in your high school halls? The Croatan High School Cougars, of Carteret County, North Carolina, did, as well as others, and it's kind of bit them, embarrassingly, in the ass.
For reasons that have yet to be made entirely clear, Kodey Alexander Kroger spent several weeks posing as a "student-recruiter" for the East Carolina...

East Carolina Players Suspended for Fighting over a Piece of Cheesecake
Some stories are so far fetched that they really are difficult to believe. If both Jonathan Williams and Leonard Paulk hadn’t been suspended by East Carolina for the Liberty Bowl, I would have doubted the truth of this story. But as it stands, coach Skip Holtz confirmed the two were involved in an [...]

East Carolina Upsets Virginia Tech
Virginia Tech walked into the game thinking they were going to have an easy time with the unranked East Carolina Pirates. They had just named Sean Glennon their starting quarterback, and were hoping to better their #17 ranking. The problem is that they were hoping and not prepared!

Liberty Bowl dessert tray tears East Carolina teammates apart
The Liberty Bowl is one of the oldest active bowl games, and has attracted most of the nation's powerhouses at some point over its 50-year history, including Bear Bryant's last game at Alabama in 1982. But perhaps the true essence of the Liberty Bowl experience lies not on the field, but in the banquet hall, where the pregame spread proved so irresistible on Thursday that...

We're Going Bowling: Papajohns.com Bowl
This bowl has definitely earned the right to be called the worst named bowl in history. Honestly, papajohns.com bowl? Papa John's sucks enough, the fact that a bowl is named after their website is just discouraging. The sad thing is, the game probably won't be a whole lot better than the name, pitting South Florida v. East Carolina.

Giants select Linval Joseph in round 2!!!
With their second pick in the 2010 NFL draft the NY Giants selected Defensive Tackle Linval Joseph.
The Giants had a pressing need for a run stuffing tackle as their D line was abysmal last season. Joseph, from East Carolina is mammoth at 6'4" 328.
Joseph is a big body who could line up at nose tackle in a 3-4 front or
interior defender in a 4-3 scheme. He is...

East Carolina lives – and possibly dies – by the “Boom,” or lack thereof
I didn’t catch the ECU vs. Southern Miss game down in Hattiesburg last weekend, but I did happen to catch a bit of the box score when I was doing the research for our latest Riveting Realities post. It was, well, intriguing, to say the least.
At first glance one simply sees a nice road win for the Pirates. 44-43 at Southern Miss – while perhaps not remarkable in and of itself...

East Carolina Ready To Defend C-USA Title
The East Carolina football team under Skip Holtz has had the same two goals every season: win a conference championship and win a bowl game.
As Holtz enters his fifth season as ECU's head coach, the Pirates have accomplished both — just not in the same season.
