Good for you for being able to do that. I have driven from Blacksburg to Greenville for 3 games this year but just wasn't able to do so for the 4th, despite the fact that I was dying to. Why don't you take a break now, this thread wasn't supposed to have anything to do with being a traveling fan.

You're in Blacksburg? That's a short trip to Huntington, you coming up? Come to our tailgate.

I'm seriously considering it. Depends if I can get some family members on board.

We don't need to start this crap now that we have played a real scrub and padded the stats. It's like Marshall fans who talk about their skewed rankings and tried to say we had the 100th rated offense or whatever back before we had got a team like Miami Oh or Gardner Webb. These rankings are still pretty worthless without a SOS component to give them context.

1. Tulsa .456
2. Southern Miss .434
3. UTSA .430

5. Florida Atlantic .402
6. North Texas .364

12. Middle Tennessee .268
13. Marshall .250
14. Louisiana Tech .224
15. Old Dominion .177

Well damnit, I'm really proud of our rankings through our first seven games. The brunt of our schedule is behind us and we have some nice things to show for it. These stats will only be movin' on up for the Denton guys in green.

SJ only things they are skewed because it shows teams ahead of ECU. I have a lot of respect for ECU but your are a fool. You dismiss anything and everything that does not support your argument. I gurantee you if ECU leading all categories you would be touting them. While I will miss most ECU posters when you all leave I can't wait till your ignorant posts are gone.
