NCSU at ECU

This weekend was great. Neal and I hit the road on Saturday for a football game in Greenville. The Pirates hosted the Wolfpack at Dowdy-Ficklen stadium on Neal's birthday! His present was a 34-20 Wolfpack win.

Jack Warren, Me and Neal

We arrived in Greenville around noon and joined Jack Warren, Ted & Shelley Melton, Tim & Lori Melton, Bucky, Kenny, Shannen and countless other Pirates for a pig-pickin' at the stadium's front door. I thought the parking lots at Carter-Finley were red....but East Carolina takes it to another level! Here are the top ten moments we witnessed:

10 - The Privateers Deck

9 - Celebrating First Down on Kickoff

8 - Jack leaving the stadium in the first quarter.

7 - "My tickets were in the middle of all the State fans!"

6 - Neal gets his picture taken with all the cheerleaders (see previous post)

5 - Having the band's rendition of the National Anthem drowned out by Friends in Low Places on the loudspeaker.

4 - Jack leaving the stadium (again) in the fourth quarter.

3 - First Down. Pirates. AAARGH!

2 - It's 3rd and 4 - "GO FOR IT" (from a male student behind us)

1 - "CATCH IT IN THE AIR!!" (from the same student)

TTFN!
