A View from the Sidelines Virginia Tech Hokies vs ECU Pirates 2016

Saturday September 24th might be remembered as a turning point. At least the effort put forth upon the green natural turf of Worsham Field at Lane Stadium on Saturday might be seen that way, in the future. Nobody needs to remind all of us of the painful nature of the ECU Accidental Rivalry. A team that in the 2000’s seemed to be a solid step up from opening "pre-season" non-conference opponents became something entirely different. Okay, we’ll take a break from the faux objectivity and call them warmup cupcakes, so it might be just recompense that ECU seemed to grow past the role to challenge us repeatedly.
