ECU Football tailgating
On Saturday ECU played Southern Miss at home. This week we were without JG and the RV so we tailgated old school on the back of an actual pick up truck. It reminded us of how good we normally have it and how much appreciate JG bringing the RV.
The game started out with a bang, but went downhill quickly. We even had a streaker at the end of halftime. We lost the game, but all in all it was a fun day at the game.
More photos from the day begin here.
This weekend was the ECU vs UNC football game and as usual the tailgate was a blast. Check out this highlight video:

Saturday was ECU’s home opener against Virginia Tech. It was also our opening home tailgate and we even welcomed a number of VT fans to join us. Our team didn’t get the result on the field we wanted, but we had a fun time anyway.
More photos start here.
It’s hard to find good lists of tailgate playlists on the web so here’s mine. It’s been a work in progress over the past few years and it’s been used at many East Carolina University football games.

The weekend began with drinks out at Epicenter with ECU and Richmond friends. Saturday we tailgated, went to the game and then went out after the game. Didn’t get the game result that we wanted, but it was still a ton of fun. Thanks Tom and Laura Ashley for hosting us and showing us around Charlotte!

The final ECU home football game of the year against SMU started out a little rain and ended with an ECU loss. We managed a 6-6 finish and have been invited to a bowl game. It’s been a fun season and I can’t wait until next year.
ECU vs. Navy game this weekend was also an attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest gathering of costumed pirates. We were short by only 5,353 pirates. At least it was fun trying! The game on the other hand was probably best left forgotten.
Photos from our tailgate can be found here (facebook friends only).
Random photos of people I didn’t know are posted here.
Another great weekend in Greenville has passed. ECU defeated Marshall at home. Our tailgate was a blast as usual.
ECU didn’t win the game, but a bunch of friends and I had a great time in Blacksburg this weekend to see ECU take on Virginia Tech. Highlights included tailgating before and after the game, Bear Pong, Hooptie Ride, and a night out in Blacksburg. Photos from the weekend can be found here.
I also took a couple of cool panoramic photos of Lane Stadium from our seats in the visitor section 37.
