Called my mom Saturday and she mentioned that the East Carolina Pirates were losing 20-0 to arch-rival Southern Mississippi, always a tough foe.
Later, at 11:30 pm ESDT, I got a call from one ecstatic mother saying that ECU had come back to win the game 44-43 at the end. That had to be some win as usually she's asleep by ten.
Right now, I am listening to "Beach, Boogie and Blues" on WNCT-AM in Greenville, North Carolina via the net, and Alan Vick is ecstatic still, talking about it, playing the radio coverage of the winning TD, a 32 yard TD on 4th and 7 with two minutes left. Of course, this Saturday is hated NC State in Greenville.
It was coach's Ruffin McNeill's 52nd birthday as well.
Earlier this season, in the first game, ECU scored as time ran out on a 33 yard pass to beat Tulsa 51-49. Now, that was some game.
I hope it's on, but of course, Saturday is also our alma's Homecoming, Northern Illinois.
Congratulations to the ECU Pirates. --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
