That's just school pride. Now, if they had Julius Peppers' transcript and/or photos of Jennifer Wiley/Butch Davis/John Blake at mid-field, that might be rubbing their noses in it :ymdevil: .

According to an N&O report, this form of logo has been used by ECU for several years. The backfire may be when ECU arrives in Raleigh on Nov. 23. ;;)

Heck yeah, DitBD!! To me, this is ECU's and State's way of letting the heels know they aren't the only schools in NC. Go Wuffies!!

Of course, State has used this in various forms on publications and elsewhere for many years. I'm told that all over West Raleigh and Cary there are many signs in red and white which say something like "Our State." ;;)

That is indeed true about the lawn banners.

Too bad they lost by 8 points. Also, the VT's loss to BC today makes our win seem not as great a week later.

True, but it gives them 2 losses now, just like us. If f$u beats Miami tonight and we can beat NCSU next Saturday, we head to the Miami game with a chance to give them their second loss, along with the other leaders in our division. Plus, GT heads to Clemson next Saturday, a notoriously tough place to play. A Clemson win gives GT their third loss, assuming they beat Pitt tonight. Gets a bit complicated and we need some help today and next week but, if we take care of business, the standings in our division might look very interesting two weeks from now.

Yeah, I would agree with others above.... ECU has had the purple pirate on that lawn logo for many many years. Most of my family went to ECU and I've seen a lot of ECU games over the years.

I hope we aren't thinking of doing this with a Blue Devil head or large blue D surrounded by several sq yds of pantone 287 grass paint.


Yet.

You had to love the Wacko's chanting "Our State!" tonight. It came across on TV, too.
Love, Ima
