Tougher than the Pittsburgh Pirates.
We were about 40% accurate in last weeks “10 Things” column, so you know what that means…. you should believe everything I say. This week we go on the road to Greenville, NC to the least cream-puff of the cream-puff portion of our schedule. After smacking the Hokies last week, much to the delight of Mountaineers everywhere, ECU has been a really chic subject for the ESPN talk-arazzi. The point that they tried to make was, if the Pirates can upset us, then they’ve made a successful run through their non-conference slate and could be this years Boise St. or Hawaii. Sorry Mark May, that’s a bit of the reach. Here’s 10 things I think will go down tomorrow:
- Dirty uniforms. Thank Hanna for all the mud.
- The run game gets churning. Though we used to be able to bank on 300yds/game, I’ll be happy if we crack 200.
- Pat White’s aerial assault continues…
- …and the legend of Alric Arnett begins to grow. He hauls in two more.
- Lou Holtz tries to slather some compliments on his kid, and comes off sounding like a sad old man in the nursing home.
- Jock Sanders makes a splash on special teams.
- The D continues to give up more yards than makes me comfortable, but continues to bend but not break.
- Morty Ivy takes somebodies helmet off.
- Mountaineer faithful dominate the stands.
- East Carolina is reminded that you can’t win wearing purple.
We’ll be back Sunday night to see how we did. At the end of the day, I think Mountie fans will feel silly for having built ECU up in their heads all week:
