Walk the Walk

Guarded optimism seems to be the order of the day among Pirate fans. Just how will this new team with its new coaches perform? That answer will be forthcoming in less than three days. What is certain right now is that the new coaching regime in Greenville is definitely doing the right things to enhance their relationship with the fans, the latest a pre-game player walk.

Long a tradition at many schools, commencing with the first home game with West Virginia the Pirates hope to establish the walk as an ECU tradition as well. The five-minute stroll will include the accompaniment of the ECU Marching Pirates Band and will start at Harrington Field then wind its way through the tailgating areas surrounding the baseball stadium on its way to the Ward Sports Medicine Building.
