Oh lord dear master, I apologize with all of my being. You guys are far superior and I beg forgiveness. However, I will be there on Saturday - as I will owe someone from ECU $100 if you win, I forget who, but he/she will call me out so I can make good on it.
I honestly hope you folks go on an 11 win roll after Saturday. 11-1 will def get you a decent bowl invite. Heck, perhaps some of us will come to add more purple/gold to the workoneout.com bowl
Yep. I most certainly will call you out. You lost one game last year and still won the Nat. Champ. Lets hope your loss this Saturday won't break your spirits.
P.S. I hope you weren't trying to post a link because it didn't work. Maybe this tutorial will help. Click Here
PCM, I just re-read this, and started laughing. I'll admit I was slow to realize that you thought I was actually trying to post a real link. Maybe just take a look at it one more time and I'm pretty sure you'll see the sarcasm. It is pretty funny that you tried to go to a site called "work one out".
Peace, hope to meet you tomorrow.
Yea. I caught it after I read it again afterwards. My buddy at work had a good chuckle when he saw it. I'm gonna try and work my way over to find tomorrow.
Safe travels down!

Well that dialog has taken a turn for the creepier. Careful at the game OD, you may be encouraging more than you want...

A lot of people go to ECU to become teachers. ECU began as "ECTC - East Carolina Teacher's College". Teachers in NC are woefully underpaid. In fact, ECU graduates more than 20% of North Carolina's teachers. That is one reason for the post-graduation salary.
New teachers are not woefully underpaid anymore. My mother graduated in 57 and taught for 31 years when they were woefully underpaid. She mentioned the other day that they are doing fine now considering the lower cost of living in NC compared to many other places. That being said....Ill put the quality of teacher education at ECU on par with ANY university in the nation. We started out as a "normal school" and everything that goes on at ECU honors that tradition. That includes all the way to the medical school. Other schools focus on research. ECU focuses on preparing students for the work place. Both have a valid and legitimate mission and function.
I have no idea what the mission of JMU is but Im sure the serve it well in Virginia and respect the institution.
The instant I see graduates of ANY university start trying to compare schools and making judgements about them I know it comes from ignorance and I ignore it.
I have to say Ive been quite surprised by the EZU threads on this board. It is something I would have expected from UNC or NCSU fans..not JMU. Im sure that these posters do not represent the vast majority of JMU graduates that would not engage in such disrespectful nonsense.

RE: They Think They Are
Some of their fans in Section 19 acted like they were the #1 team in the country early on. By halftime, they acted as if they were hanging with Alabama. By middle of the 4th quarter, they thought JMU fans were rude and unruly for cheering our team on for beating a 3-9 squad, even telling us we were acting like we were beating Bama.
Denial....it's not just a river in Egypt.

Yeah, he was being consoled by the sister-in-law of someone on this board....she was who I was posting earlier about. At one point, my "Dad'gum" was roasting her pretty well, and fired off a "What, did you think we were taking $300k from you to come lose"?

RE: They Think They Are
There was a guy a couple rows in front of me who at one point kept yelling "JMU sucks". So, me being me, I followed with "what does that make ECU"?. His reply was "call me when you get a bowl invite". Mine was "call me the next time you qualify for one". That ended the conversation.

I hate fan fights. I'd rather just cheer loudly for my team or boo the ref or whatever. But some people just can't help but try to pick fights especially when their jimmies are rustled.

Gosh, I wonder who's trash-talking sister-in-law that was? Who was talking all week about how we had no idea what we were in for, with all of our JV playoff experience.......

Just saying, if someone walks up to your tailgate and tells you they are one of Olderduke's sons, welcome them in. They both root.
