EAST CAROLINA IN BOWL ACTION TODAY





The East Carolina Pirates football team will be playing in it's first bowl game since 2001 today at 1pm when it plays South Florida in the PaPaJohnsPizza.com bowl in Birmingham, Al at Historic Legion Field. In ECU's last bowl appearance the Pirates scored 61 points but lost the game to Marshall 64-61 in double OT in the GMAC bowl, hopefully the Pirates will have a better day today. Speaking of college athletics two fixtures at Georgia Bulldogs games "Hairy Dawg" and fellow mascot "Spike" were attacked at Georgia's home basketball game Tuesday night and tackled to the hardwood by two delinquents from Crawford County, Ga and can you believe alcohol might have been involved. What kind of people are they raising in Crawford County? The Richmond Renegades ended there three game losing streak last night beating the Florida Seals 4-2, the Gades will play in Fayetteville tonight against the FireAntz. The Gades will return home Wednesday night against those same FireAntz. Well I went down to Wal-Mart this morning at 6am and I have to say that tempers were running a bit short, there were allot of people in the store and they only had three checkouts open and that wasn't sitting well with the people in line. I have to say that I have never seen the CH in such disarray as it was this morning, but I have to say that Wal-Mart should have known that they needed more people working being that it is just two days before Christmas even if it was early in the morning. Well I hope everybosy has finished there Christmas shopping now. MICKEY

There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: Those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed.
