isn't the term "raider" supposed to mean a pirate as well?

how come they didn't include oakland or the other d1 schools who use that term?

No, raiders can also refer to Vikings, Highway Men, or an group of people who attack another with aim of stealing property on land or sea. Buccaneers is a term that refers to Pirates.

That was really, really good. Temple was in one a little over a year ago for those who missed it

It was pretty much promotion of ECU because they want to raise our brand-profile.

I'm kidding.. not sure why. At first glance it looks like the only D1 or professional raiders are Wright State, Colgate and Oakland. Wright state is some kind of wolf or dog, and Oakland's new mascot is terrible. Colgate would work (I'm assuming that's who sparked the idea since they're pretty close to 'cuse?).

after a quick google search:

the difference is:
pirates rob by sea
raiders rob by land

since this was in an office building to be accurate this commercial should be texas tech, MTSU, and oakland........

Ah..silly me for thinking Massey would include those in the list of "Raiders." Totally spaced out on that one, but they aren't Pirates.

The whole thing was Pirate themed, hence only Pirate themed teams.

Why do people have to dissect the fudge out of something that is suppose to be funny? Take it at face value. If its funny, laugh. If not, move on.

Awesome video of PeeDee. He got some good face time too

1. PeeDee's eye is clearly looking down that shirt.
2. He should have grabbed her and taken her as his "booty".

Not necessarily. Pirates have robbed on land.

Pirates are plunderers. Raiders are pillagers.

Just STOP IT, please.

It was for fun......and it was fun.

Enjoy it.

Stop inspecting every ounce of info or video looking for a mistake someone may have made. Enjoy the video........it was really good.

You, of all people should understand that it's just a video. 90% of your posts are in the spin room or on the conference realignment board; where everything is just for giggles and make believe.

Nah, there's a couple others. I used to live near this one. East Tennessee State Buccaneers.




I still like this new outfit for Pee Dee a lot better than the one in the commercial.

That's not new, the hat and coat are removable, have been since they redesign the mascot, from old "fat" Pee Dee.

Did a lot of pirates sail around eastern Tennessee?
