ECU KNOCKS OFF UNC, TROPICAL STORM GABRIELLE HIT OBX





The East Carolina Pirates kicked a field goal as time ran out to beat the North Carolina Tar Heels 34-31 and yes there were allot nervous ECU fans because the kicker had already missed three short field goals earlier in the game. It was a very entertaining game with allot of offense and allot big plays, ECU will be back at home next Saturday night when Southern Mississippi comes to town. The Virginia Cavaliers played another lackluster game but were still able to knock off Duke 24-13, if they were playing somebody else they probably wouldn't have won. Next up for UVA is a visit to Chapel Hill to play the Tar Heels. The Georgia Bulldogs and the Virginia Tech Hokies didn't fair as well yesterday, the Bulldogs were knocked off by South Carolina (and the old football coach) 16-12 at home while Virginia Tech found out how good LSU was last night falling to the Tigers 48-7. At RIR last night Jimmy Johnson held off Tony Stewart for the win while had some more motor issues and failed to make the race for the chase again this year. Maybe a switch Hendrick Motorsports will be the best thing for him. Tropical Storm Gabrielle
is making it's way threw the OBX this morning, they have already had some rain in Kill Devil Hills and I have posted a from the Avalon Pier, as you can tell it's not a good day to go swimming. Also today both the Green Bay Packers & the Washington Redskins open there NFL seasons today, the Packers will play the Eagles & the Redskins will play the Dolphins. MICKEY

I've never been as sad after a race. Jr. ran so well. When he came sputtering around with smoke rolling from his car with just a few laps to go, I felt like crying! Plus, I bought a Denny Hamlin shirt yesterday. What happened to him??? Then, to top it off, we had to see Jimmie Johnson win for the second time in a row at RIR!!!! Julianne says we'll still go back in the spring. Maybe I'll get over it by then. Ha! Ha!

I wanted to see Jr make the cut off.
