Another fantastic win. Brigadier General Holtz deserves praise for the performance of our Pirates in these final two games. Two reasonbly respected programs have been denied winning seasons by a bunch of guys with nothing to play for but bragging rights. Incredible.
I can't wait for next year. A winning season and a bowl game are definitely on the horizon. Finally, the ghosts of Steve "Logone" and "Weak Suck" Thompson are being erased.

When will Darrel Hackney learn to keep his mouth shut? A huge win for the Pirates. The AP article following the game had this to say:
Going back to the final two games of 2002, East Carolina had lost 22 of 25 games entering the season. Nineteen of the losses came by double-digit margins, with seven by at least 33 points.
But Holtz led the Pirates to a 24-21 win against Duke in the opener to restore some optimism here. And though Holtz - the former South Carolina assistant and son of Lou Holtz - expressed disappointment that his team couldn't reach a bowl game, East Carolina heads into the offseason with an entirely different feeling than the one that followed after closing last year with a 52-14 loss to North Carolina State in Charlotte.
That pretty much sums it up. Give this man a contract extention!
