Looking forward to new season

Here's a wire story on the Pirates.

Notable quotes:

Upon his hiring, he appointed battle scarred veteran assistant coaches to man his regiments. Assistant head coach Donnie Thompson, offensive coordinator Steve Shankweiler and defensive coordinator Greg Hudson highlight the 192 years of collegiate experience dispersed between the eight-man staff.

... Holtz and his staff can quiet the naysayers with a win against Duke. A victory could also be a reversal of fortune. The Blue Devils handed ECU a 23-16 embarrassment to open the 2002 season. The Duke triumph ended its 23-game losing streak while sending ECU into a wild tailspin...

...The game's kickoff time was moved up to 1 pm to accommodate a national audience, well kind of. College Sports Television (CSTV), a new cable channel devoted to collegiate sports, is its first season as a partner of Conference USA. However, the station is not yet available in Greenville, S.C.

I'm glad to hear the game will be televised. Greg and I will be able to watch in Vegas as our $100 bet on the Pirates pays off. I'm disappointed, though, that the author of this piece thinks we're in Greenville, S.C.
