Next Year

Another good column from Denny O'Brien over at Bonesville.net. He reminds us of the daunting schedule that greets the Pirates next year:

In case you haven't noticed, the Pirates are staring down the barrel of the most ambitious schedule they have faced in recent memory. With non-conference dates set with Navy, N.C. State, Virginia, and West Virginia, along with C-USA trips to Central Florida and Southern Miss, ECU can expect to be the underdog in at least half of its games.

And that doesn't include the remainder of the conference schedule. East Carolina hasn't exactly advanced its program to the point where Marshall, Memphis, and UAB are considered automatics.

True. But I say 11-0 is still achievable.
