At my son’s place and went to the ECU-Tulsa ballgame. Let me say that ECU has a very nice stadium and a much better press box than we have at Trice. It holds 51,000 and is the second largest stadium in the state.
Ticket sales for the game listed at about 30,000, but I’d be surprised if 15,000 attended. Given the fact that ECU has only won two games all season, the interest has obviously waned. But there was no buzz in the stadium. Maybe the most interesting thing was the lone seagull that circled the field as the game was winding down, landing on the grass a few times.
FYI, ECU had a one point lead and got a stop on 4th down deep in Tulsa territory with 2 minutes to play. Then they screw up their first play from scrimmage and fumbled, giving Tulsa the ball back. The Hurricanes drove about 50 (aided by some weird calls by the refs) and kicked the winning FG as time expired.
My son said it’s been that kind of a year after going bowling last year. Sound familiar??
