ECU Has Big Plans for The End of Their Season
This Saturday the 28th of November East Carolina University host possibly the biggest game of their season this far. The Pirates (7-4) (6-1) take on Southern Miss at Dowdy Ficklen Stadium for what sets up to be the Eastern half of Conference USA’s Regular season championship. With a Pirates win, they will then host the Conference USA championship at home. ECU has not beaten Southern Miss at home since 1994, so the pirates should be ready to send the eagles to the plank.
The pirates are going for their second consecutive Conference USA Championship after defeating Tulsa in 2008 for the crown. The pirates had to go on the road last year to win the crown; however, this year all of pirate nation can witness the game in person if the pirates can slip past Southern Miss. The Championship will be held December 5, 2009 and hopefully at Dowdy Ficklen Stadium.
The Pirates have a had a stellar season only losing four games, being West Virginia, UNC, Virginia Tech and Southern Methodist. Two of those four teams have been ranked in the top 25 and Virginia Tech was ranked as high as number 4 at one time. The feeling around Eastern North Carolina and particularly Greenville is that everyone is about to bust at the seams to host the big game Dec. 5, possibly being one of the biggest in School history.
Doug Henry Chevrolet in Tarboro is proud to be big supporters of the Pirates with many employees being season ticket holders. We wish the pirates the best of luck and hope to be in the stands on Dec. 5th watching them go for another Conference Championship. Doug Henry has one of the largest in stock selections of all new Chevrolets and great selections of Pre-Owned inventory. So come see us in Tarboro about a new vehicle and we can also talk about the pirates, and remember we are ALWAYS cheaper at Doug Henry Chevrolet!
