1. ECU has been a semi-rivalry for a while

Not too far from the truth. I think it started when they met on the baseball diamond for a few consecutive years a while back. Then we signed up for this series with them and their fans were unusually sure of themselves. It was kind of like facing USM a couple of years ago.. for some reason their fan base thinks they are SEC worthy and always predicted an upset. It has been nice whipping both their asses.

ECU isn't big conference worthy but they are one of the legit programs that don't reside in a power conference and could certainly hold their own vs the lower tier of the big conferences (such as an Indiana) If I'm not mistaken they routinely give UNC, NC St, and VT fits.
