ECU

[82hawk]

The young and small Hawks' will face a somewhat young, and not quite as small Pirate squad in Trask Wednesday night.

Led by Senior guards Sam Hinnant and James Legan who have been the leading scorers in every game this year(19.2ppg, and 14.3ppg respectively), the Pirates can get big, especially compared to the Hawks. Sophomore center Chad Wynn starts, and averages 8.8ppg, but at 6'10" and 240, he could prove to be a handful against a very small Seahawk froncourt. Coming off the bench is Freshman Darrius Morrow, who is the 3rd. leading scorer and top rebounder on the team at 10.5 ppg and 8 rpg. At 6'8", 240lbs, he looks to be a load to handle down low. Brock Young starts at point and is basically the set up man for the Pirates with 47 assists in 6 games.

If the Dub' can feed off a Trask crowd and create some havoc with TO's and some easy points, this should be a good game. However, the Pirate guards have done a good job of limiting TO's and bringing the ball up the court.

ECU in a close one. 82-78

[Seahawkhoops]

We need Kevon Moore Healthy for this game! They appear to be big, without Kevon we could be in trouble! While some are of the opinion that we should drop this game i respectfully disagree i think this is a good rivalry even if they do stink most of the time

[Ron the Great]

nobody with any brains whatsoever thinks we should drop this game. Same with ECU's perspective. This is a good game for both schools. Easy travel and it gets attention.

[billthebighawkfan]

The only reason for dropping the series is if ECU backs out again for some reason. UNCW was very good for a long time but couldn't play ECU because they didn't want to play the game. If that is again the case, UNCW has no choice in the matter for a while. You just can't play this game when you feel you have a chance to win the game. Make it a yearly game, home then away, or forget the game. It's that simple and the only fair way to see the game.


As far as this year's game....
It looks to be a good game that could go either way. ECU has some seniors that are playing well and have a pretty balanced team. UNCW is young but at home where they beat App and Troy. Hoops is right about Kevon Moore being able to help UNCW out because being able to rotate guards would be a strength for UNCW in this game. ECU has the edge underneath.

[1mullet]

It does nothing for UNCW basketball at all and they will never have a basketball program and if you think different just check the record book-last every year is not a program.I realize we have some narrow minded folks that think for some reason that it is a rivalry game but it is not and will not be again.Some things just fade away and that is the case here-just let it go and don't look back.The coach has a attitude at UNCW because his player left-who gives a damn.

[tke75hawk]

i see us with a loss by 20 to ecu.we need bigger players to be a complete team and unless we hit the 3 pointer we will not win many games this year. i still see us in 10th. or 11th. place in the caa. i will still be in richmond in march pulling for the seahawks.

[SaintDK10]

Chad Wynn is a long, Larry Sanders type player that was recruited by our former coach Mike Perry when he was here at State. Wynn decided to do a year of prep school and Mike Perry reeled him in to ECU where he's the assistant coach now.

[Seahawk Nation 08]

I can't see us losing this game, even with all of our injury concerns and defensive issues. This is Trask, this is ECU, and our guys were desperate to end this road trip and get back home. I don't think they'll dissapoint us.

I don't know if we'll continue our burger streak, though.

I hope you're right, but with the size they will have inside, it'll be a big task.

BTW, the game is televised on WITN.

[billthebighawkfan]

Kevon Moore is out for ECU as is Montez, and Will. Unbelievable...

[Ron the Great]

I have been under the impression that O'hauregbe is out for the season. Is that not the case?

Does anyone know how Downey's recovery is going.

There is no reason to rush anyone back for the sake of December basketball. These games are basically exhibition games. Sure it would be nice to beat ECU, but we want to be as healthy as possible heading into CAA play.

[billthebighawkfan]

Kevon is going to get checked out on Thursday to see what is wrong with him-he could be back pretty soon if it's nothing serious. He doesn't even know when it happened-has hip and groin pain-pinched nerve perhaps?? Who know's? Montez could be back as soon as Saturday believe it or not. Will is seeing his Dr. later this week and if it isn't any better, he's going to likely be redshirted. Brad is getting back and is finally over the lung infection.

[DaddyHenry1412]

Gosh guys, these injuries are getting a bit ridiculous! Can we catch a freaking break! Am I gonna have to suit up in the teal?

TRASK BETTER BE SOLD OUT WEDNESDAY NIGHT! It is going to take everything we have got to pull it out, having so many injuries. I will have my boys in the student section rocking out, we have to get those oldies pumped up on the other side and upstairs! haha! Let me stop, I am far from one of the crazier fans in the student sections, I am usually the one that sits there with my hands on my hips shaking my head after missed free throws. I complain the entire game about rebounding etc and cannot even enjoy myself! Anyhow, we HAVE TO BE LOUD!!!!!!

We need to just forget that debacle against Texas A&M-CC and get hyped! A big game from the big 3 should do it along with home court!

GO HAWKS!

[1mullet]

It is not sold out and there are plenty of tickets for sale right up to game time.ECU is not a draw here like it once was-ten years ago.

[Ron the Great]

How many games did we sell out last year? ECU is not a huge draw, but it's a very convenient home and home for both schools. I don't know what is so hard to understand about that. It's every bit as much of a draw as C of C - probably more.

[jumpinmullet]

There is no point and it is a game not worth playing if UNCW considers itself to be a legit program and not just a club team looking to fill up spots when a ECU type feels like itYou can't sell a rivalry when one team is awful but they call the shots-it is a joke.Play a Davidson or Charlotte on their terms b ut not some garbage team like ECU and I know they will most likely win here on Wed.

Ok, so in the same post you said ECU was a "garbage team", AND said we will lose to them. What does that say about your view of UNCW? Or your intelligence?

We will beat ECU, and we will sell the game out. I have been following this team for a while, and the UNCW-ECU game is a highly anticipated game for the students. Everyone from UNCW hates ECU unless they have a family/friend tie to it. ECU is like a dirty, stinky, less cool, STD ridden, retarded, less prestigious, terrible, version of UNCW. They are so close that it is hard not to love beating them down every year, and the students know that.

Don't question how much the students and Alum love this game, because it will be easy to see on Wednesday.

[1mullet]

Unless someone buys 1200 tickets before Wed. night it will not sell out.Students might have some interest in seeing a last place every year team play here, nobody else seems to care and that is what counts here.Students alone don't fill Trask and they didn't sell out last time they played here.The ECU coach has decided to not play while the former ECU player plays here and he knows they would more than likely lose those games.UNCW is hammered by injury in a reduilding year and I don't see them beating even ECU at home right now-later in the year it would be a different game but the facts are it will take a monster game by Wolfe,Lacy and Tomko to win.Play a legit basketball school in state and get away from the ghetto boys from Greenvile is a no brainer.If RTG endorses the ECU program you know it is a joke.

Students alone don't fill Trask, but they create the atmosphere that has been so successful for this program. I'd rather have a filled student section than have the rest of the arena filled with no students. Most of the older crowd just sits on their hands. I know this becuse of how quiet the arena is when the students are on break. Who are you to tell the students that their support isn't what counts? Many of the fans that are non-students STILL haven't come back after our 7-22 season in 2006-07, while the students have been the only loyal bunch. And that isn't just because their tickets are free, its because they are as passionate a part of this fan base as any other school's students, if not moreso.

As for ECU, of COURSE the program is a joke, but that is exactly why it is such an intriguing game on the schedule. They are like the red-headed stepchildren that are so much fun to mess with.

Furthermore, its not like we have a lot of intra-state rivals to compete with. College of Charleston is in SC, we don't play Davidson or the ACC schools, Elon, UNC Asheville, and Campbell suck (maybe even more than ECU in some years), we only played UNC Greensboro because of the bracket buster, Coach Moss doesn't want to play Charlotte with Coach Lutz there, etc., etc. Who else is there?

I'm not saying it is a terrible thing for us to stop playing ECU, especially given the reason why it would end (who wants to play a bunch of babies who don't like us for "stealing" one of their players, anyways?), but we're running out of teams in NC that we can consider nonconference "rivals", if we have any at all anymore.

[jumpinmullet]

The students do make Trask what it is-no doubt about that.Would you rather rag on a loser or develope a real rivalry with a good program in state.It can happen if the AD and Benny see the light and can ECU and go after better games.I think Wake is here next year but they are like a NBA club compared to the CAA.Davidson would play and I think Charlotte would as well,Benny has to move on at some point.

[Seahawkhoops]

Lookout mullett the sky is falling

[Hummell]

Haha, you guys are crazy. I remember back in the day when I was in college and my girlfriend at the time was at UNCW. After a few trips up to the campus at East Carolina, she realized what a real college was and left UNCW after a year. :lol:

Good luck tomorrow night. You're going to need it, I'm afraid.

[Seahawkhoops]

Haha, you guys are crazy. I remember back in the day when I was in extended grammer school and my gay buddy at the time was at UNCW. After a few trips up to the cow pastures at East Carolina, he realized what a real college was and left UNCW after a year. :lol:

Good luck tomorrow night. You're going to need it, I'm afraid.

Hummel are you saying your GF flunked out of the DUB so she went to EZU? Shame on her!

[Hummell]

Nah, she was on the Dean's list every year she was in college. She just wanted a more collegiate atmosphere, as opposed to a city school with a community college/campus type feel. Also, she didn't go to ECU.

[billthebighawkfan]

Hummell,
This is not a Smack board and I know your reputation. Just go to the Smack board and have a field day because Smack posts will get deleted from now on. Best of luck against our depleted team tomorrow.

[Hummell]

Wow, I have a reputation? That's pretty impressive :lol:

Good luck tomorrow night.

[billthebighawkfan]

I think we are going to need it Hummell. :? :wink:

[Ron the Great]

If RTG endorses the ECU program you know it is a joke.

What an epic jackass you are. I have never endorsed the ECU program. The game is obviously good for both programs for a variety of reasons - the first being geographic proximity. It's certainly better than Troy. Given the choice, I would prefer to play Davidson or Charlotte as well.

[DaddyHenry1412]

I agree wiht Ron that this is a good game for both teams and for the area. Would I love to be playing Davidson, UNC, and Wake Forest every season? Sure. But it ain't gonna happen. The people in the area enjoy the UNCW/ECU game. Too bad we won't get to play them next season. So Trask better be rockin tonight to help the boys pull this one out, despite all of the injuries.

[1mullet]

I f you set your sights low and expect to fail you will.So why play a team that everybody considers to be a joke and rule out the better programs in the state that would like to play UNCW.ECU is not a game that thrills anyone other than a few drunken hardcore holdovers from the distant past-they are not and will be a program to challenge UNCW in the long run and why bother with them at all.Think small and remain that way is what that is.RTG do you always have to name call to make yourself feel better?What a shame a guy has to feel like that!I am tired of talking about ECU!

[Seahawk Nation 08]

I f you set your sights low and expect to fail you will.

We don't "expect" to fail. On the contrary. Smacking down ECU makes us feel good. Sort of like being a bully.


.ECU is not a game that thrills anyone other than a few drunken hardcore holdovers from the distant past-

Don't call our current students "drunken hardcore holdovers from the distant past". That ain't right.


I am tired of talking about ECU!

Sorry 1mullet, would you like to skip ahead and just get to talking about Georgia State instead? Or are we not allowed to talk about the team we're, you know, PLAYING tonight?

[FishNHawk]

ECU is a pretty good game because of the distance. It draws a pretty good crowd and is usually a good game, despite that it really hurts us when we occasionally lose. It is better than going way down to Troy of some of these other places. The teams we should try to play every year are, Davidson, Charlotte, CoC, Winthrop, Richmond, and one ACC opponent such as Wake or State. You can throw ECU in if you want, but only if they play every year instead of just when they think they will win. If we could set up a home and home with these teams every year, we would have a strong strength of schedule and winnable games. I would love to see us play a schedule like this. ECU not wanting to play us next year, just shows the ability they know John Fields has. Too bad their new coach could not control his mom!

[Ron the Great]

ECU is our natural geographic and socio-econmoic non-conference rival. It's as simple as that. And they may be crap, but they are still in Conference USA - which is on average - slightly better than the CAA. You can chime in with CofC, but there are not as many ECU people in Southeastern NC - which of course is the market that UNCW most wants to do well in. We want to attracts attention. ECU attracts attention. Troy - not so much. I agree that Davidson and Charlotte would be better games, but I am not aware that is an option. And if it were, ECU is not the game I would be trying to replace.

If they aren't playing us because of Fields - that is understandable. If you have to ask why, you need to think about it a little bit more and you'll figure it out. Now, if they are going to be like NC State and Wake, and only play us when we are not good, then I also agree that we should not play them. But it's my understanding that Terry Holland liked the game. Is that incorrect?

As for tonight, I think we're going to lose. To be physically competitive, we have to have Downey. He is the second "biggest" player we have, and maybe the "biggest". By "biggest" I don't mean tallest or heavyiest - I mean the person that plays "the biggest". Montez is a hell of an athlete. The thing I would most like to see is for Aycock or Bald to have a good game. Bald moreso than Aycock.

I think the only chance we have is if Bald has somehow gotten some of his endurance and strength back and can be somewhat of a factor on the boards. If not, we are going to have a hard time on the boards and defending their big men. Plus, the ECU guards don't turn the ball over, so our press will most likely be ineffective.

[CentDukesFan]

come on UNCW, win this for the CAA

[Ecu Twink]

What happened to UNCW. I remember when anytime we would play each other everyone would get all hyped up for the game. It could be anything Basketball, Baseball, Softball, even partying. I know when we were both in the same confernce it was easy to be rivals. Even when we joined Conference USA we would still play and people would alway show up from both schools and be ready for a fight. I remember when Blizzard we with you guys you came to our place and were down big at half time then blizzard went crazy and you guys really turned the game around and really go your season going. So when did you all stop hating ECU?

[billthebighawkfan]

Congrats Twink. Na, it's still a rivalry but UNCW has half their team hurt therefore it's kinda hard to get fired up right now with everybody out. When, if, we get Moore, Will O, Bald, and Downey back....UNCW can actually play uptempo. You simply can't do it without enough players as ECU proved tonight. ECU still deserved the win though...

[Seahawkhoops]

Yup no doubt, pretty much what we all expected unfotunately! Next year we can resume or annual a$$kickings ,, oh wait FATMACK wont play us next year! :lol:

In the spirit of trying to keep the smack off this board and keep the content game related, how many points did Fields ahve tonight?

[CAATony]

Very Surprised that ECU was able to win this game with everything going against them. Mack McCarthy, in his first year as head coach, has done a great job building this team from scratch after losing 3-4 players off last years team that were expected to be starters and major contributors. The two seniors on the team are doing a great job leading this young team made up of mostly freshman and sophomores. When UNCW decided to pack it in, Senior James Legan lit them up and had the support of his very young team who were also able to abuse the zone with their own barrage of threes. When UNCW came out, Freshman Center, Marrow, showed why he was CUSA player of the week last week. While missing freshman Chris Turner and 6'7" Daquan Joyner, the young pirate squad played patient basketball resulting in only six turnovers the entire game. Winning 2 of three agsinst the best the CAA has to offer is a great start to the season. The key will be if these young guys can handle the speed and strength of CUSA.

Thanks for clearing that up :?: probably as many as any transfers you have :?: :idea:

[CAATony]

No transfers that I'm aware of. I think Mac is going to get this thing done the right way, not be taking unreleased trasnfers in state. The Freshman class is really good. A couple more like it and somegood things could happen. Gotta keep all these young guys heads in the game though. 18 year old kids are unpredictable.

[nitneylion]

Good game for ECU. 14 threes is hard to overcome but they had the bodies and UNCW didn't. I wondered where the refs came from? Are they from the visiting team's league or assigned some other way. Even though it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the game, I thought it was not a well officiated game.

unreleased transfers in state? You have to be released in order to play somewhere else! Why cant you idiots just Admit he is good? He was the best player on your team last year! He didnt get a long with coach he didnt play much later in the season because of it,, great, it happens... as far as your freshman class. Not the first nor will it be he last time EZ has a good freshman class. Its just a matter of if they will still be there after a year or 2 when they get good enough grades to get into somewhere else!

[billthebighawkfan]

UNCW just couldn't guard effectively and that makes a big difference. Legan hit his shots but he's gonna hit those shots being a senior and also getting good looks. The PG for ECU is good and you guys have a chance to have a good year. I also like Morrow as well. ECU made way more 3's but it was a good plan-you have the shooters and we,right now with what we have, can't guard well enough. A key stat was the assist to TO ratio for ECU-outstanding, but there wasn't much resistance. UNCW only had a handful of steals-that won't get it done. Honestly, this team has to play slower until Kevon and Montez can at least get back-not enough athletes out there right now to play fast IMHO.

[jumpinmullet]

Amen to that Bill.It was like a rootcanal watching the garbage UNCW called defense.Every shot ECU was basically wide open and if you play decent D at 80 per cent of shots are contested.Until this team plays some damn defense they will lose.

[gmej04]

another super bowl ends in disappointment...

You guys are f-ing joke, good luke the rest of the season.................

BTW, WE OWN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We played the best we could. With no post players to defend the interior, your exterior defense has to sag to double team or prevent the easy entry pass. When we did this, it left open the shooters who hit the 3's. If they had an off night from 3, it would have been a different game, but they didn't. We had to pick our poison, and it made no sense to just give up the interior points.

[Seahawkhoops]

Wow, more jerkoffs (who by the way didndt give a rats a$$ about Basketball when they were losing) crawl out from the farmlands :roll: its amazing to me how obsessed they are with us!

[ECU04]

The refs are always horrible, atleast at ECU. Doesn't matter if it is basketball, football, etc. I don't know where they get these yahoos from.

Hey Nittany Lion - What's up baby!! I lived in State College for 2 years while my wife was getting her degree. We are huge Nittany Lion fans! I was there when we had Lavar and Courtney! They were very sick. My wife had student tickets, so I never misses a game in 99 - 00. I was at the Indiana game this year. The first half was rough and Darryl didn't look good - but he sure did the next weekend against MSU.

I saw that PSU beat GT in basketball last night. That is awesome.

WE ARE.........PENN STATE!!!!

[jumpinmullet]

I saw them shoot open shots after one pass and I just can't call defense of any kind.Sheets did try to double down on their big and got burned two or three times but for the most part it looked like guys out of position or gambling for a steal and I hate that.Tomko takes way to many chances on defense and his man took the ball anywhere he wanted to go and setup the offense like he was running a clinic on UNCW.Play some damn defense or lose-it's that simple.ECU is not very good and they dismantled UNCW.

[Ron the Great]

I think you are being unfair to a root canal. Our players and coaches should be ashamed of the defense we played last night.

[FishNHawk]

Congratulations to ECU, unlike some others, I think they have a solid team. Experienced guards and a couple pretty good big men. They should have a lot more luck in the CUSA this year. By the way, there is no way ECU owns UNCW, that is a joke. 11 loses at Trask in a row before this one, and had lost 8 out of last 10 on either court!! ECU was bound to beat us eventually. ECU's program is looking a lot bettter, however their freshman class is not better than ours. We just dont have ours on the court due to some bad luck. We will get our big guys back next year, and it will be butkicking as usual, if fat man will play us that is. I dont know why ECU wont admit John Fields is good just because he transferred. He just simply did not come to ECU to play for Mack. It is simple and happens all the time. He was the best player ECU had, I know because I saw them play on more than one occasion. It would be like Tomko leaving because our coach left and then we told everyone that he sucked, what a joke. It is understandable you dont like him, but come on, you know the guy is talented, he was on the all CUSA rookie team.

[Ecu Twink]

Fields Leaving wasnt a big deal because we have lost big time players before, AKA Mike Cook who left to go to Pitt. He did have some luck there.

[StillJonesn]

I dont know why ECU wont admit John Fields is good just because he transferred. He just simply did not come to ECU to play for Mack.
He's on his 5th school since high school, seems he's the 1 with the problem.

He was the best player ECU had, I know because I saw them play on more than one occasion.
Hardly. He wasn't even the best big man last year IMO(Blair was more valuable), & the post was CLEARLY the weak spot on that team & were we were consistantly dominated & the cause of us losing. I wouldn't trade either 1 of them for the 3 big men we have this year, & we wouldn't have got Morrow with out JF hitting the road. All around positive he is gone.

This year we actually have guys that can catch the ball :idea: ,& score with their back to the basket & can actually run offense through the post. Heck they can even hit from 20 feet out. The day JF does that hell will have frozen. They also are so much stronger & don't get over powered like 200 lb JF did or out rebounded. It's night & day.

It is understandable you dont like him, but come on, you know the guy is talented, he was on the all CUSA rookie team.
All that means is he had to play a lot of minutes on a sorry team as a Fr because there wasn't anyone else to, & last year he got 24 mintues a game, because he had experience & knew the offense where others didn't. That said he improved ZERO from his Fr to Soph years & was no stronger physically. Joyner has put on 20 lbs & he & Wynn are both far improved & better than JF at the same point or likley still is.

You'll find JF is an athele, & that's pretty much that's it. If he actually decides to workout & try to put on 20lb's so he isn't so undersized & maybe he will beable to compete better, but if not he will never be any more effective than he was for us outside some garbage dunks, becuse he doesn't have much skill & you don't really develop that. Thinking he is your savior is a joke IMO unless he does something he didn't here, improve. You see how many games he helped us win with some very good guards last year. We are actually balanced this year.

[StillJonesn]

ECU's program is looking a lot bettter, however their freshman class is not better than ours.
That a joke? Morrow's 10 times better than any Fr you have, heck probably any big man you have have had since Callahan, already. Turner has a stress fracture & hasn't been able to practice all preseason & is still not 100% & as well as being stuck behind some good wings, & our Fr PG is behind a great player that plays about the whole game. Fact is you don't beat us for any recruits, & we still got a few you wanted on the team & we just landed another 1 over you for next year. Maybe 1 will get discarded like JF if we get better, less problem players & you can pick them up then.

We will get our big guys back next year, and it will be butkicking as usual, if fat man will play us that is.
Things change. The Brownell/Wainwright era are gone as are Ricky Stokes/ Bill Herrion. You have a sub .500 coach now while we have one that is 326-197 & taken a SoCo team to the Sweet 16. I love your excuses but the team that smoked you last night is on APR probation from the last coaches (Mac already improved the GPA to #1 in CUSA) & only practices 18 hours a week instead of 20, & suited up 9 scholorship players last night with only 2 that were upperclassmen. To think our future isn't bright with a proven coach that has rallied this young team to 6-1 & that could clearly contend for CAA already is a joke.

There is your garbage program, things change...

Im sure he met class as a whole, sure your one guy may be better, but he was talking about our whole class! 3/4 of whom has been injured, but when on the floor has shown great promise!

[Seahawkhoops]

For the record , Jonesin & Jonesin only is the only EZ fan that even has a leg to stand on here talking $hit! He was here to take it when we won last year, & he is the ONLY one who has ever given a rats a$$ about b-ball there till this year!

Have you figured out what an unreleased player is yet stupid? You know, if it wasn't for you, the 4-5 ECU fans that post here wouldn't even bother. You're just too easy. We've all known that ECu is your daddy when it comes to baseball. We all know that football can't even be discussed. Now, it really looks like your basketball team is taking a dive. God, that must really hurt.

First year coach.
Lost 4 potential starters
only nine players on scholarship
all freshman and sophomores led by two lone seniors

It sucks to be you. But find comfort in the fact that you can close your eyes and remember the glory days of Blizzard and Company. I know he didn't help you get in the top 25 for the first time in your history, but you got that one NCAA win! Don't sweat it brother, CAA play will be here soon enough, it'll get better.

[Seahawkhoops]

1) At least we have glory days to remember! 2) I think most hawk fans our confident that things will turn around, we are young! If next year is a bad year , than & only than do we have something to worry about! Too easy I am? ECU fans are the easiest fans thier is to pick on because they have all have red headed step child syndrom & think they are better than schools they are not! With that being said I understand that most of you don't understand these things because if you could understand simple things like this, you would have never enrolled in EZU to begin with.. With all that being said,,, Welcome back to ignore Jerkoff!

Looking at the serie over the past 4 years.......ECU blew you guys out in our place with a 7 win team against your 20+ win team. We got blown out at your place the next year, last year was a close game throughout with you guys taking a 4 pt win at our place. This year we go down t0 uncbythekmart and Mack calls off the dogs with 20+ seconds left so we don't hang 100 on you in your own house. Looks like things are starting to even out a bit. At least by recent history.

You point out that your 7 win team beat our 20 win team but convieniently forget that our worst team in school history, 7 wins, beat you guys as well!

[Seahawkhoops]

WOW, congrats on the Conf title. I am just curious about one thing though,, If you all are as good as you say you are at football year after year, Don't you think you would have won more than 1 title in 30 years??!!??! 8)

[CAATony]

Once again, the moron speaks. Do you even have a clue as to how many of those years, we were an idependant, not affiliated with any conference?. The only affiliation was two years in the Liberty Bowl Al;inace, which we won. It was the orginal CUSA. I've never heard any pirate fan talk about "how good are" as if we were a to p ten program. But even a fool like you knows that ECU's prgram is a lot of fun right now and has a lot to be proud of. They've brought it back up from the deep. As you're finding out with UNCW basketball, every program experiences peaks and Valleys. The issue is, how long will the vellys last? ECU's lasted about four years. Perhaps that's an indication that yours will be over soon. But then again, your peak only lasted 3-4 years also. As a matter of fact, I believe that it is safe to say, UNCW's program is back to normal. The Blizzard years good be described as being "up years". 1 NCAA win and no top 25 finishes, but agood competitive team that could compete with most.

[CAATony]

yeah, he's scared. :roll:

[Seahawkhoops]

Lets go Kats, lets go KAts, lets go Kats
Once again the Pansies proved well why they cant play with the big boys despite what thier retarded fan base seems to think! look on the bright side maybe Skip to my lou Holtz will stick around in the Armpit for another year! :D

[Seahawk Nation 08]

Kentucky wins the "Knee Bowl".

How stupid can ECU's kick returner be? He took a knee at the one not once but TWICE while returning kickoffs. Lucky for him, he only got caught the 2nd time after an official review.

Moron.

[Seahawkhoops]

08 did you happen to here the Chris Johnson interview complaining about Matt Ryan winning the ROY? Talk about a complete moron. He sounds like hes never finished the 5th grade! But he didnt have any problem getting into ECU :roll:

[MasonCAA]

Will we have to wait for baseball season to hear from our ECU friends?

I swear I thought we beat a 10 win Virginia Tech team that won a BCS bowl, & a 9 win West Virginia team that was OT away from being in one as well who will likely both finish ranked. We have more BCS wins than any non-BCS program since the 90's. You do know we lost 17 guys that started this year by midseason? We played 1 freshman the first week & had 10 on the 2 deep by season end & yet the final week of the regular season we were still ranked #29 in both polls. Pretty great year regardless especially considering the circumstances, & an even better looking one next year with all the young players that got to play, & played well, & the injured guys coming back, just like our coach.

Let's see, fastest man ever to play in the NFL & fully qualified by the NCAA when we signed him? Yeah we shouldn't have taken him because he isn't a great interview?

How's the basketball season going?

[MasonCAA]

guys it didn't take that long.

[matt55matt]

Hey matt55matt, where are you????????? You are lucky we called the dogs off! This is what REAL athletics looks like.......... :lol:

Sorry for being late.....

ECU will always suck. At least our athletes dont have VD.

LOL cant address the fact that he speaks like a 5th grader? I work with several ECU fans that said he was a disgrace to the school! SO what if he runs fast several criminals run fats too! :roll:

[CAATony]

We only come here when we are playing UNCW or some other crap ass CAA team. WHy would you guys even be talking about us? Seahwak hoops is so obsessed, he just can't keep talking his daddy. SO ECU lost the Liberty Bowl. Oh well. Which one did you play in? How about you Mason queer? Your daddy lost, enjoy it.

Public speaking or interviewing ability has little correlation on his actual intelligence. The guy probably wasn't raised in the most articulate enviorment. I think it's hard to hold that against anyone, & he did improve a lot speaking in his 4 years at ECU, & was a model student & player. When UNCW gets any athlete to the pro level, much less all star level his rookie year, get back to us. Better to have someone to carry your schools banner than no one. CJ does that on the field, & Garrard is about as good of an interview as you'll find.


You lost to UVA...

'nuff said.
WTH? You act like that is some disgrace or something, like they are a D1aa team. We lost, so did top 25 Georgia Tech, & 8 & 9 win teams like Maryland, North Carolina & ECU who all were top 25 teams at some point in the season. The game was on the road & they were one win away from a bowl. Have you ever beat Virginia in anything, much less the biggest sport in athletics?

Wouldn't you guys rather talk about your basketball anyway. How's that going for you? Let me guess your players are going to learn how to play defense by next year, right? Congrats on getting an upset win though, & the first since November...

[MasonCAA]

is football really UVA's biggest sport? I thought they gave up on that and started to focus on LAX

[Seahawkhoops]

Being able to speak a complete sentence has a lot to do with being intelligent! :roll: A Model Student? Give me a break Jonesin, there is a reason a kid with that kind of talent ends up at ECU.... PERIOD! Are you that naive to think that his poor grades in high school , and the fact that he probably cannot spell his own name had nothing to do with him going to ECU instead of a FL, or TX or some school like that? You think that he didn't receive some "help" to be able to stay at EZ while here was there? I know you do a good job at sounding dumb on here but I really don't think you are that dumb!

[Seahawkhoops]

sorry double post....

[StillJonesn]

Being able to speak a complete sentence has a lot to do with being intelligent! :roll:
No it doesn't, especially not when you have a camera shoved in your face & know a few million people are watching. I don't know about you but if I was 23 just starting out that might make me just a little nervous. BTW you ever heard an interview with Tomko? I have.

A Model Student?
Try again. He got all his scores & was fully qualified when he came to ECU by the NCAA, & never had any academic or behavior problems. Holtz said he was the model teammate & student athlete while here. Look up his college stats, he didn't even play much until his senior year, & always had a good attitude & worked hard. He was 3rd string as a Junior & moved to WR at one point. He didn't get frustrated, just continued to work hard.

Give me a break Jonesin, there is a reason a kid with that kind of talent ends up at ECU.... PERIOD! Are you that naive to think that his poor grades in high school , and the fact that he probably cannot spell his own name had nothing to do with him going to ECU instead of a FL, or TX or some school like that?
Obviously you know nothing about what you are talking about. CJ had ZERO D1 offers, much less ones from TX or FL. He also broke his leg his senior year in high school which caused the few other D1 schools that were looking at him to back off. Look up his recruitment. You act like he was some 4 or 5 star talent. Fact was he was just a project that our coaches thought had potential & decided to take a chance on. He also didn't emerge until his final year at ECU & wasn't nearly as fast out of high school, only running about a 4.4 at 170 pounds. Now runs a 4.24 at 200. He is a product of the strength & conditioning program at ECU, good coaching, & personal work ethic.

[Seahawkhoops]

Again you conveniently fail to address the education issue & the fact that the man probably needed help signing his NFL contract! And the fact that you can get through EZU & sound & act illiterate is comical! No one doubts his physical talent! If he broke his leg his senior year that compunded by his grades are probably reasons he ended up at EZ!

[CAATony]

What bowl was that again punk? Keep obssesing over your daddy. It's funny coming from an idiot that cheers for a school that has never finished in the top 25 in any major sport. Hope you enjoyed the game on national TV. We all know you were watching.

[MasonCAA]

still holding on to that 1990 ranking huh....

[Seahawkhoops]

its funny you continue to post knowing i have you on ignore!

[StillJonesn]

still holding on to that 1990 ranking huh....
Nah, we don't have to hold on to that one considering we have finished ranked in the polls a couple other times including since 1991, & many weeks ranked throughout our programs history. Not 1 like Mason.

Just reading some of the excuses for the state of the UNCW program right now. Still doesn't really cover Moss's preparation for such events this year. You shouldn't even have been in a position to have to rely on a couple of freshman post players anyway, & if they did go down you should have had some depth.

#1 Swinton
#2 McNeal
#3 Sikes

Those should have been 3 experience guys ready to go. Instead you got blunders in the way of guns, grades & a boarder line D2 guy in way over his head that can't even average 3 points & 2 rebounds for a bad D2 team. To compound your problems & mistake #4, you tied up a scholarship with a guy sitting out & no use this year who is a cast away & problem himself. One of our assistant coaches said just last week on the radio was a major distraction that was addition by subtraction for our program. Hope he is worth it for you when you could have got a JUCO guy that could be helping you get through this year respectable. Heck just looking at your the last game, 6-8 Leon Spencer who played is JUCO ball just down the road in Supply had 21 on you.

[Seahawkhoops]

Jonesin,
You wont get any excuses from me! We suck this year, have had some bad luck but hey, you deal with it. If Moss doesnt get the job done next year, & i have my doubts, than we have serious issues. Enjoy the chance for your first over .500 team in SEVERAL years!
