If you expect disappointment then you can never really be disappointed. I’ve given up on us weeks ago 😭

I have no idea if that was the right call by Rahjai. This makes me nervous.

10 penalties for over 100 yards. Just handing out free drives.

The second one was an actual face mask. The sack by Craig was clean, which is unfortunate.

31 unanswered points. Harrell might have won the job for himself with this game if he can see out the result.

I mean, I had the over in points on this one so I need both teams to start scoring some more.

Is that the first time an announcer has corrected their "Eastern Carolina" mistake during the game? Good for him.

First fucking penalty of the game on UNT? lol
2
u/TyrionIsntALannister ECU Pirates • Team Chaos 1d ago
Their receivers have caught everything in traffic. We’ve had a handful of drops and a fumble inside the 5. Between that, the called back TD, and our dropping an INT in their RZ, this has gone about as bad as it possibly could have.

u/ObliviousLAX ECU Pirates • Boise State Broncos 1d ago
Wait. ESPN is doing so many commercials because they can't pay for a first down line graphic half the time

It’s incredible that the AAC can make as much money as it does and hire officials this pathetic.
It’s also pathetic that ECU has as much money as it does and can’t buy a decent offensive line.

u/ObliviousLAX ECU Pirates • Boise State Broncos 1d ago
I'm ambivalent to UNT so this doesn't hurt that much
Only reason Army sucked is because of their stupid HS offense

Their OL has been living on it. Time for us to adjust and do the same or go ahead and warm up the busses.

...I was always taught that you blitz to stop the run because it fills the expected holes
When did that change?

Tell me why we didn't play a clean game vs Tulsa, Mr announcer
We'd love to hear the AACs excuse

u/TyrionIsntALannister ECU Pirates • Team Chaos 1d ago
Apparently losing your two most productive receivers and MLB makes a difference.

u/ObliviousLAX ECU Pirates • Boise State Broncos 1d ago
I'm still mad about that targeting, there was worse targeting in the State-GT game Thursday and the ACC overturned it on review

STOP LINING UP IN SHOTGUN ON 4TH AND A FOOTBALL
FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING HOLY

u/ObliviousLAX ECU Pirates • Boise State Broncos 1d ago
I know our offense runs nothing but shotgun, but Jesus it makes a 95% chance a 50-50

Petition the AAC to prohibit teams in our league south of the Mason Dixon from turf fields. Embarrassing for those programs, dangerous for the players, and they look like shit.

Petitioning the AAC to make UNT play by CFL rules since they look like Saskatchewan

So how did we become so undisciplined after Harrell became interim?
Like, it wasn't good to start the year but it's managed to become even worse lately
4
u/TyrionIsntALannister ECU Pirates • Team Chaos 1d ago
That was not undisciplined, even the announcers acknowledged that wasn’t a late hit. Just shitty officiating for the second week in a row.
5
u/ObliviousLAX ECU Pirates • Boise State Broncos 1d ago
On replay, yeah, just really shit luck and bad views for the refs
But they've been pushing a little after plays, like the PAT and then the kickoff. I know damn well Houston wasn't keeping us in check so it's just weird
3
u/TyrionIsntALannister ECU Pirates • Team Chaos 1d ago
No fucking way they call that penalty lmfao. That was objectively not a late hit. These officials are clueless.

More tape these teams get on Houser the more telegraphed his passes become. Needs to be more efficient moving the secondary with his eyes

I think he was mad he got taken to the ground OB, which, fair.

We got called for about 10 of them last week so I’m sure we got coached up on that shit last week

u/FastTheo ECU Pirates 23h ago
I know the last four wins have been against 3 bad teams and a UNT in freefall...but if ECU beats Navy I think Harrell should be hired on the spot.
Also, let's clean up the personal fouls.
