Man, he seems done. I get that ECU's standards are high and they have been let down for going on 8 years now, but any time they play a close game, or the QB struggles just a bit, their fanbase goes nuts. Holton Ahlers was somehow not good enough for ECU but is good enough for the Seahawks type of thing. Houston seems over it because he likely knows better than the fans since he is at practice every day.

I'd imagine much of this centers around QB play. ECU had Patrick Pinckney until 2009, then Dominique Davis comes in along with the Air Raid and elevates their program. Shane Carden comes in and continues that legacy with Lincoln Riley. Then Gardner Minshew comes in, does good things, leaves, Ruffin is fired, Scottie Montgomery is hired, and the rest is sort of recent history.

Their fans are so restless for the type of season they haven't had, maybe ever (when is the last time they won 10 games?), and he has a four star QB he's trying to develop, yet the fans lose their minds. Garcia has struggled and looks lost out there right now, but with his physical tools and obvious NFL speed and arm, not to mention size, it wouldn't be wise to give up on him after two games.

I don't know that Garcia will ever figure it out, but if he does, I hope it's not this week. He has a cannon of an arm and can run so if his mind should ever catch up with his physical talents, he'd be one of the most dominant QB's in college football. But there is a reason he ended up at ECU instead of a Florida or something.
It must be B's BBQ?
I mean, it's something. I won't lie and say I don't like Eastern NC BBQ better than my home town stuff. I guess that was the good part of living in Greensboro for a while, it was easy to find both.
Greensboro BBQ - taint Eastern or Western
Well, not Greensboro BBQ. But I could go to Lexington, Woodlands, Raleigh, wherever all within about the same amount of driving.

Heard from a Pirate buddy today that there could be a change in their offense. Anybody else heard anything? I'm not sure it's going to matter but it could be interesting.

Rumor seems to be Flinn is starting over Garcia at QB.
Picked up via free agency by the High Country All-Stars

Probably good for App and good for ECU, in a roundabout way.

Disappointing but not surprising. Got to tighten it up going forward.
