ECU @ SMU

Good column from Al Myatt at Bonesville.net that essentially backs up what Greg said a couple of days ago -- namely that today's game vs. SMU is surprisingly meaningful.

And winning in this league this season apparently has a lot to do with being prepared to play every game. As Holtz said, the team needs to be ready to "strap it up" as it heads for Dallas. The Pirates are 1-1 in the league and there are a lot of possibilities in front of them that would be enhanced if that mark goes to 2-1 in Big D.
