The latter but us at 5-1 and them at 1-5 is even better

Back to the actual game.

Does ECU still have a real homecoming king & queen or do they do some kind of āPurple Pirateā silliness?
Everyone has a homecoming person nowadays.
āCaptain of the shipā
I guess they went down with their ship Saturday.
Wisconsin might have boats at their student union on the lake, but itās a hike to the stadium from there. Their stadium is right in the campus and the city, so most pregame is at bars and small parking lots close to the stadium, itās pretty tight quarters. They actually have a bunch of fraternity houses right next to their stadium, which is not always great (one year they were spraying visiting Michigan fans with a hose!).
Wonder if thereās a way to reroute traffic and close off the traffic circle and attached cross of roads northeast of the stadium? That would make for a fun tailgating area right near the stadium, though maybe too much of a hassle.
Attendance: 39,842
My eyeball test tells me thatās a tickets sold, not scanned figure.
There were definitely more fans on the away side then the home side. A lot of their fans had clearly thrown in the towel on the season already before the game.
Iām not hating on ECU attendance. Lord knows I wish we had their actual attendance figures ourselves. Itās just clear that ECU built their endzone seating in hopes of regular Chapel Hill and NCSU visits, plus the off-chance of getting into a P5 conference. Their facilities are impressive, Canāt say they havenāt committed to that end of the equation.
Also helps everything seems bigger because you canāt dig down too far into the local water table.
Has Mike Houston been fired yet?
They donāt Have the cash to fire him. Gonna have to ride it out for a bit.
Checking previous threads on tailgating to see if one of those would work or just start a new one.
Man I was on that hill in the poring rain on my Harley. The absolute worst.
Moved the tailgating discussion to thread titled - appropriately - Niner Tailgating Concerns that was started by d_whitley a couple of years ago:
