In Appreciation of East Carolina

I've been thinking about ECU since we lost to them a couple of weeks ago. Before that game, I know a lot of us we upset that we're playing ECU more times (6) than Florida State, Clemson, Notre Dame and Louisville combined (4) in the next six years.

After reflecting on how competitive the ECU games have been, I've changed my mind about ECU. ECU right now is where Virginia Tech was 20 years ago. They are well-coached, competitive, fun to watch and should be an emerging program in the near future. They are becoming the best football school in North Carolina, despite not being the most well-funded (UNC), most academic prestigious (Duke) or having the largest fanbase (NC State). I have a lot of fucking respect for their program and I'm excited to have them as a rival for the next few years.

I don't know why I'm writing this, I think that Gobbler Country article still really pisses me off (who the fuck belittles another person's education? That's a total LOLUVA move). At the end of the day, having an up and coming program on the docket for the next six years is a good thing for Virginia Tech.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
