In addition to a big payout, Gamble can look forward to enjoying the many charms afforded by Greenville/ECU: heat, humidity, mosquitoes, clouds of gnats, crime and nonexistent academic standards.
Sounds a lot like Georgia Southern.

3 OT transfers, 2 from P4 and 1 3 star from Anderson. Did that OL from Marshall commit anywhere, yet?

Downtown Greenville on Friday and Saturday is a good time if you’re 18-23 and reasonably good looking. Just saying…

I do remember being at a party in 2009 when the football team broke out into a fight, as well. ECU went on to win C-USA that year. Saw the QB whole beat App in 2012 selling weed to, I guess pay for things? In 2010. Rio ended up being benched and never graduated as far as I know.


Not a lot of dull moments in Greenville, for sure.

I was about to say, people bash on ecu and Greenville. It sucks to live there post college, but I would think as a student it’s fun; like any college. And they have a great stadium with a team that’s trending up.

Regarding heat, bugs and humidity like some have mentioned. Most of our players are from the areas that are similar.

One of my fellow trainees of the company we worked for at the time was from NJ. He said he picked EasyU as it was close to the beach. My response was.. you evidently cannot read a map

That’s how ecu and ecu South Carolina market it.

Not that I wanted to go there, but my parents would not let me apply; just because of the reputation; at least back in 2005.

Used to be ranked as a Top 10 party school.. primarily due to its Halloween party.

I will say one positive about EasyU.. well back in the day... was The Hill.. much talent laying out there late in the spring semester 😂😂
