PURPLE.....GOLD

When I graduated from ECU I was sure that I wasn't going to miss college life!  I was ready for a change...however since I have been a graduate for over a year I have never felt more like a Pirate!  Everyone always said...not always a student, but always a Pirate.

Today ECU is playing Memphis and my family is at the game, but I decided to be studious and stay home!  However, as I am studying my mind keeps drifting off to the smell of popcorn and peanuts....Purple Reign playing in the background and the announcer guy saying "TOUCHDOWN PIRATES"  I miss watching the band at halftime and looking around Dowdy-Ficklen stadium and seeing a sea of purple and gold!!  I miss seeing friends and laughing at the drunk people trying to climb the stairs...there was always "that person".

I have two ECU football stories that are my favorite.  One is when I was able to get a football signed by all the team players for my daddy.  The day I got it ECU played NCSU and had lost....but I was so excited to give my daddy that football that I didn't care! 

The other one was when ECU beat WV and we rushed the field.  Me being the rule follower and KLW being the rule breaker made for an interesting time.  KLW was first to get to the wall to jump and she jumped right off...well when I got to the wall and saw how far I had to jump I was like "I'll just meet y'all at the car".....but after two big strangers lowered me down by my arms I finally could reach the ledge and jump the rest of the way!  Then KLW and I went running onto the field....well after she tripped and fell in the bushes and I had to jerk her threw so she wouldn't be arrested! (the things I do for that girl)  We were jumping and screaming and sweating it was the best experience EVER!  My mom said when they were watching the student section flood the field she looked over at my dad and said "I wonder where your two are?"  and my daddy replied "I hope their on the field".

I'll leave y'all with a video that always gets us excited about gameday.....

GO PIRATES!!
