EAST CAROLINA 27
VIRGINIA TECH 22
What a game! I took the wife and kids with me to the first East Carolina football game of the season. It was smoking hot and once we got settled into our seats in the upper deck, I felt guilty about dragging them out in that brutal heat!
The Pirates started off a little slow, but the Offense and Defense quickly rebounded and were out-playing the Hokies in every aspect except special teams! Their special teams were putting points on the boards and our special teams were digging a deep hole that I didn’t know if we could get out of.
The Pirate faithful stuck by their team in the brutal heat and by the 4th quarter all that dawned the Purple and Gold were on their feet, screaming and yelling keeping our team focused. We were trailing the Hokies, but our team stayed energized and with less than 3 minutes to go in the 4th quarter, T.J. Lee blocked a punt and ran it in to put us ahead 27-22. When he scored the winning touchdown, the Pirate fans in Bank of America stadium went nuts!!!! Even my wife and kids were giving High Fives to everyone around us.
Kolby especially had fun because all the folks around us kept giving him High Fives and they were encouraging him to beat on the seats to make some noise! I wish you could have seen the look on his face when he found out he could be loud and no one would care!!!!!
Great job Pirates and I hope we can pull off another win this weekend against West Virginia! I can’t wait until kick off because I will be able to make this game also!!!
