Bleeding Purple and Gold
GREENVILLE, N.C. — East Carolina didn’t need any final-moment heroics to seal its latest upset. This time, coach Skip Holtz’s plucky Pirates all but had No. 8 West Virginia put away by halftime.
Jonathan Williams had two short touchdown runs, quarterback Patrick Pinkney was nearly perfect and East Carolina routed the Mountaineers 24-3 on Saturday for its third straight win over a ranked team.
Talk of a BCS position has already started. We are the Pirates of E C U!

[…] is one happy pirate in NC today. OK, there’s a lot more than one, and deservedly so. It was a great game. […]
Congrats on the win.
Ofcourse, my Texas Aggies barely beat New Mexico (after losing to Arkansas State!?!). Next week we have Miami (FL) at home. Now Miami isn’t that good this year as in times past, but Texas A&M is in a… um… rebuilding year…
