Yes, it's been a bizarre and kinda depressing past week and a half around here. But at least we aren't ECU - so butthurt over missing a bowl and the Big East not returning their calls, they're selling fake bowl tickets.
The Pirate Club recently sent out the following email to Pirate Club members:
Our East Carolina University Pirate football team had an exciting season but fell one game short of qualifying for the program’s sixth straight bowl game. The Pirate football team is in goods hands with Coach Ruffin McNeill and his staff. There is a tremendous amount of young talent and our program has a bright future.
East Carolina University Athletics wants to show the college football world the passion of the Pirate Nation, even in a "bowless" year for the university. The Pirate Club is excited to announce the 2011 Virtual Bowl. Our challenge will be to sell more tickets than our bowl-bound Conference USA opponents and bowl-bound teams from the Big East. The Virtual Bowl appeal will go through December 23.
ECU is a dump, there is no other way to put it. There is absolutely nothing to do there, except drive 2 hours SE to go to the beach. It's bascially Texas Tech situated in North Carolina.
They talk so much crap about other schools and their weak attendance, especially SMU. Unfortunately, they don't realize that high attendance does not equal a great program. Yes, it is a factor, but so are academics, history, tv market, endowment, coach, etc. They have high attendance b/c there is ZERO else to do in Greenville NC. The sooner they realize that the better. This makes them look bad IMO.

That's just pathetic. If I was an ECU fan I'd be embarrassed by that. But then again, I'd probably be equally or more embarrassed having to admit I was an ECU fan.

Tickets for the Virtual Bowl are $50 a piece
as KTP would say, "they're really butthurt".
i mean, i get what they're going for, trying to prove to the BEast that they're worthy, and have fan support, and at the same time, raise money for the program, but really this is pathetic.
