2024 49er Football Week 6 - Game #6 vs ECU 10/5 3:30PM ESPNU

Not to mention how this game will play in living rooms all off-season.

We had a ton of recruits at this game. Talked to a couple of them. They loved everything about yesterday.

We only played this game at 3:30 for TV. Shame because that would have been an amazing environment for a night game.

clt says we look bigger, especially on the lines

Agreed! I will add winning games like yesterday is how we grow the fan base. It will also bring fans that were excited about football when it first came and the lost interest after losing seasons.

Lol.

That’s almost as good as send Biff a card cause he’s our daddy bit.

Some of the ECU fans in our area could only trash the size of our stadium; calling it a highschool stadium as they walked out in the 4th quarter. That comment only trashes their program that they were man handled by a team that plays in a Highschool stadium. I would bet they don’t get 17K at their next home game.

That was an ABSOLUTE complete game last night on both sides of the ball and special teams.

That was a DAMN DAMN DAMM fun game to be at. I want more of that please.

Aside from the game we collected two truck loads of supplies to be taken to UNCA and App this week. Football was amazing but I’m glad we were able to throw a great tailgate and do some good for folks in need.

We had a group of Eastern bros stop behind us before kickoff to talk smack. Those losers left in the 3rd quarter. Funny, they didn’t stop by to see us on the way out.

Poor Eastern. They’re dying and they know it

I’m not gonna get ahead of my skis on this…

Awesome game, the type of performance Biff has been promising. Just incredible…ECU fans were fine in my section, but most left in the 3rd quarter. They we’re always going to complain about stadium size, win or lose, cause that’s all they can hang their hats on…

Otherwise, if this type of effort is replicated, I’ll be proud of this team…both sides of the ball. I do know that Navy will be really tough…I’m going to enjoy this one!!! I thought we could win, but I didn’t expect to gob-smack ECU like that…truly special.

I guess our stadium expansion would be done already if we had a med school to steal from and an athletic director with experience in defrauding the public.

Helluva game from start to finish. Fun to smack around aan in state rival.

Nice Saturday and some big upsets too. Good day

Just looked at the schedule again…

The next 3 games, Navy, Memphis, Tulane…steal one of those, odds of a bowl game increase dramatically I think…final three games are USF, FAU, UAB…while all games all winnable, I gotta think if this team keeps up with this effort, that what Biff keeps telling us this team is, then I might have to find my green-tinted glasses again…

Yup get one of the next three and we’re in business. That’s not going to be easy but based on last night it’s certainly possible.

It doesn’t get any better than that Culp INT. It looked like the ECU WR was there when the ball got let go but Culp said nope haha.

LOL. That thing was more chain than necklace. Huge and not daintly.

A lot of their fan base clearly doesn’t respect us. I heard the typical comments about stadium being ā€œhigh school.ā€ One guy called us ā€œNASCAR Universityā€ while another guy yelled ā€œWe are losing to freaking Charlotte…come on.ā€ Both made me laugh more than anything. With that said, I had some positive interactions before the game with ECU fans and one older ECU alum at Picasso’s postgame was very friendly. I also have some friends that hosted us at ECU last year for a tailgate and I was glad to be able to return the favor.

Memphis and Navy are likely losses but you never know. We just need to take care of business at home and if we can steal a road win somewhere all the better. We had to get to .500 going into the bye and we did!

Did not see necklace but could be the one they sell in the bookstore. A Mr. T , A Team deluxe. Thought about getting it last Saturday but old and uncool now and trying to accept that.

I feel you on the old and uncool :joy: tough getting old

For the record we finally ran the fake dive right into the line at the 3 yard line on the 4th down call and Purdie " naked" bootlegged for the easy score like I have been screaming for the last year and a half. I feel like my work here is done and I can move on with my life.
