EAST CAROLINA PIRATES CONFERENCE-USA CHAMPS!

by DolfinPhan on Dec 6, 2008 3:53 PM EST

The ECU Pirates are Champs for the first time since 1976 and their first C-USA Championship! ECU won 27-24 against Tulsa!

C-USA's number one defense beat C-USA's number one offense in a lopsided turnover battle (ECU had 5 picks, 2 fumbles recovered) against the top NCAA efficiency passer, David Johnson, who just could not find a rhythm.

Go Pirates!

Man, Kevin Smith and the new stadium

It really was a golden year for the golden knights when I was around, hopefully they can get back to where they were. I was there against Texas when the stadium opened. Good times, I never thought they’d get that competitive. Hasn’t lasted though…

Football isn't a matter of life and death - it's far more important than that.

It was painful this year.

UCF really misses Kevin Smith.

Hopefully they start getting it back together.

If USF can do it, UCF can too.

Surprising

considering they LOST Chris Johnson last season, and I believe Patrick Pinkney got hurt earlier in the year??
