You know what my deal is by now.
Every week, I try to talk up Cincinnati’s opponent like they are a combination of the ‘85 Bears, ‘72 Dolphins, and ‘27 Yankees.
I’m not going to do that this week.
I’m not going to do that because East Carolina just isn’t a very good football team in 2020. They weren’t in 2019 or 2018 or 2017 or 2016 or even 2015. They haven’t been much of a club since 2014, when they posted an 8-5 mark under Ruffin McNeil.
Greenville (Not Greensboro), North Carolina is a lovely town and the Pirates continue to draw great crowds, year-in and year-out, despite their lack of football or basketball success.
