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.

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.

2010 SMU @ ECU Football Tailgate

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.

ECU beat Southern Miss this weekend and won the opportunity to host the Conference USA Championship game on December 5. It was another fantastic game in Greenville and the Pirates put on quite a show. With the conference championship on Saturday at ECU, that makes 3 trips in 3 weekends to Greenville.

Dowdy-Ficklin Stadium vs. UAB

UAB came to ECU this weekend and we had another great tailgate. Between flip cup; punt, pass and kick contest; shots over the phone with Chris K who is stationed in England and the game itself, it was another legendary weekend.

My photo experiment for the weekend was a panoramic HDR of the stadium. It took quite a bit of hand editing, but it turned out pretty well.

ECU Stadium During the ECU VT Game

This weekend started out on Thursday with a trip to Greenville to see ECU take on Virginia Tech at home, televised nationally on ESPN. The last time Virginia Tech played in Greenville it was also a Thursday night game and I was a freshman watching David Gerrard take on Michael Vick. This game wasn’t as exciting as those as it was more of a defensive match-up, rather than an offensive one. I had a great time as always and it was fun tailgating and hanging out with friends.

Here is one photo I took that is a panoramic from the corner. Nighttime made it much tougher to get some good panoramic pictures. This seemed be only one of two that came out.
