ECU put up another dominating performance as they routed UNC in Greenville. The tailgate was a lot of fun and so was the game. What started as a slight Carolina blue sky day quickly turned to a purple and gold sunset as the Pirates got rolling.

This weekend JG, Chris and I took the @WhiteTigerRV to Blacksburg for the ECU vs Virginia Tech football game. We parked at the ‘Dairy Barn’ and were within sight of the stadium and not too far of a walk.
When we arrived Friday night it was raining and it continued to pour all night long. By morning it was just light rain so we tailgated and headed to the stadium for the noon game.
Our tickets were right in the middle of the hokie section – 50 yard line, 50 rows up on the visitor side. We got to do quite a bit of ribbing with some of the hokie fans for the first 8 minutes as we went up 21-0 and they gave it right back up until our final drive of the game.
It was a fun game to be at and I’m glad we got to go.
The first ECU Football game of the year and we had a great time catching up with everyone and tailgating in the @WhiteTigerRV <- yes has a twitter account now.
This week the Capital One Mascot Challenge PeeDee the Pirate is up against Sparty and the question was asked: If PeeDee had a superpower, what would it be? Our friend Curtis Thieman googled photos of ECU tailgates and came up with one that was the screen image from our ODU Tailgate video. Sure enough the Capital One Mascot Challenge is featuring it on their facebook page.

We had quite at match up this weekend with ECU playing Virginia Tech in Football. I even got into a bit of a fight with the Hokie bird.
In honor of the Hokies – we fried a turkey for our tailgate.
And former ECU player and Super Bowl-winning linebacker Robert Jones stopped by our tailgate.
In the end it wasn’t a game either team could be very proud of. VT suck by us 10-15.
At the halfway of a crazy week – by the end of the weekend I’ll have driven well over 1,000 miles and have never left VA/NC. Midweek ECU played Florida Atlantic in a Thursday night game. The game was a ‘black out’ with black uniforms, black lines on the fields and all the fans in black. The game itself was a bit of a routing. After the first 10 minutes FAU never really mounted any challenge. Always fun to be in pirate country!
