As many times in a row as ECU has beaten you in football, you should have a healthy respect for them by now. Sounds more like bitterness than lack of respect. Memphis has been last place in football nationally the past five years running and has never played in their own bowl. Not even once. ECU doesn't require your respect.
ECU is 14-6 vs Memphis in football.
If you don't respect that, you're only fooling yourself.
The city of Memphis demanded ECU be included in YOUR bowl as did
Fed Ex and Axa who was the title sponsor back in the day. And they demanded ECU be included even before they were included in C-USA.
ECU had won two LB Alliances in a row, had gone to two straight Liberty Bowls and had won a Peach Bowl right before that two years before.
Yet, it's always the same story.
Get rid of ECU to cover for Memphis' inability to draw flies in football.
Gutless...and it fools no one.
You've never had to even build one facility. Rented football stadium, rented basketball arena.
ECU built 120 million dollars of facilities all on their own.
That's more than Boise State built even after multiple trips to BCS bowls and it's as much as anyone
else has done in this league. In the whole league.
Every single facility is brand new but basketball which is getting a 16 million dollar upgrade as we speak.
