With only one more ECU Football game left for the season the game against Tulane would be the final one of the season for the entire group. The night game made it so we could hang out and tailgate all afternoon and Jess joined me for the trip to Greenville. The main item on the menu was frogmore stew. The game got interesting at the end as it went into overtime, but alas ECU wasn’t able to put points on the board and lost.
It was a great fall evening for watching football as Brigham Young University was in town to play the Pirates in football. ECU won the late evening contest and some of us even made it downtown to celebrate.
VT is always a tough game for the pirates – lucky for us it was a little later and gave us plenty of time to tailgate!
Been a few years since I posted my football tailgate playlist and quite a few updates have been made. Here’s our current ECU Football Tailgate Playlist:

It was great to be back in Greenville for another season of ECU Football tailgating with the White Tiger crew. We had a great time tailgating all afternoon and catching up since last season. The game was another story – we lost – but it was still good to be back and see everyone.
It was another fun weekend with the tailgate crew especially with one part having just gotten engaged and another part home for the game on baby watch.
It was also military appreciation day and we got to climb like kids on the equipment and see a pretty cool flyover.
UCONN was in town for a Halloween inspired afternoon ECU Football game. We had a couple clever costumes among us.
For this game against UCF the old photo album finally got an upgrade. We had a lot of fun going back through all of the old photos.
Again good weather for tailgating and a fun crowd.
Unfortunately, the game didn’t go in ECU’s favor and our preferred seating was in front of the big screen with beers in our hands.
