The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Vent

Fire away … and there’s plenty of material.

If it helps, ECU is very good and should be favored every game the rest of the way. The Pirates reminded me a lot of USF before the game and I won’t back away from that at all now. Just a very well-coached team with a lot of veterans and people they trust in specific situations.

They’ll be difficult to beat at home, too. ECU has the team entrance down. They put the bow of a pirate ship up against the tunnel and start blaring Hendrix’s Purple Haze as purple smoke billows from the pirate ship. Then they storm the field and the crowd, which includes students seated at field level ,goes bonkers. They stayed in it from start to finish Saturday. Just very impressive all around.

WVU, meanwhile, is fortunate to have some time between games. Â
