ECU drama

So, my ECU Pirates won a huge game this past Saturday against West Virginia. Go ECU!!! Here's my moan...

There are two staples in a Saturday ECU home football game: Tailgating, and rushing the field if we win. Sometimes, this will even happen at away games, or at games where we are the home team, but at a host location (NCSU) when our field is flooded from hurricane rain (and we're playing the Hurricanes, oh the vivid memories of tearing down NCSU's goalpost!). Anyway, all that is another story.

The thing is, ECU fans have ALWAYS been huge supporters of their pirate football team, and if we win, we rush the field, end of story! But, for some odd reason, the fans at this past Saturday's football game found themselves being attacked, knocked down, punched, and kneed by law enforcement, all in an attempt to "stop people from getting hurt". Smooth move there pigs, because when the fans don't have you there causing injury, they do just fine at not getting hurt and having harmless fun. I get so frustrated with police officials who spend so much time wasting their time, when there are plenty of other things going on in the community and probably on campus that they could be policing. So come on cops, leave ECU alone, and let them have fun the way they always have done. And ECU, let's kick some Tulane butt this Saturday, and if you do, maybe the New Orleans cops won't mind if you rush the field there!
