I did bash them, then had a completely separate post about the crowd in which I never mentioned ECU, didn't think it'd be that diffucult to figure out. You know what they say about "assuming" don't you?
The point. Excellent post.
THE AMERICAN!!!!!!!
Nothing says "college football in the South" like travelling 1000 miles to Connecticut to play on Friday night, against 100000 local HS football games, the World Series on Fox, a slightly better game on ESPN whatever, the NBA on ESPN real, the NHL on NBCSN, and the vast majority of people who have a life and don't watch TV on Friday nights on ESPN whatever, because ESPN is out of poker reruns and repeats of 30 for 30 investigates why are jockeys unusually short, before 800 people.
Oh what a mistake ECU made!
THE AMERICAN!!!!!! ECU and a random collection of fanless teams, IN (or near in UCAN'T's case) various big cites. And IGNORED IN every one. Fanless. Meaningless. Worthless.
Thank you MH for your leadership.
And Go Irish!
Imo ECU is in a conference that ESPN is comparing to the P5 on College game day today at Temple, an AAC member. Don't think they see it as a mistake.
Yeah... We play in front of empty stadiums just about every road game.
Charlotte? UNCC totally ignored there.
Miami? FIU/FAU pretty much ignored there.
Dallas? North Texas completely ignored there.
Nashville? Middle Tennessee ignored.
Houston? Rice completely ignored.
Yes Mike Hamrick, thank you so much for saving us from playing in a conference that currently has 3 top 25 teams while our conference has 0! You truly are a visionary!
Note: im not bashing mike Hamrick but the post i quoted made it seem that keeping us in C-USA somehow was an amazing act.
I'm not whining and I'm fine with where we are. Yep, our conference sucks but there is nothing we could do about it. The OP made it seem like MH showed unbelievable leadership by turning down the American.
I seriously doubt we were ever formally invited. If so, Mike likely knew we didn't have the dollars for the exit and entrance fees. jmo
You do realize how big of a chore it is to hype up a team that hasnt been this good since the 1940's, right? Temple is a team with zero history, with anyone. Hell, UConn has had more football related success than Temple has at this point...hell, more than Memphis, Houston, and ecu as well.
PS
I doubt Hamrick was approached/rejected an invite.

ESPN has to hype up the game...did you happen to see the lineup of games over the weekend? They were pretty awful.
How many of the top 10 actually played?
