Seventeen men who have been parts of three consecutive winning football seasons and three straight bowl trips at East Carolina would like to make it a perfect four.
That effort continues at noon today on senior day, when those 17 ECU seniors lead the charge onto the field in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium one last time to host Cincinnati in a must-win American Athletic Conference game.
At 5-6, a win today would vault ECU (3-4 AAC) into the postseason, where the Pirates have been eight of the last nine seasons, missing out only in 2011 when the team faced a similar circumstance.
