HEADING DOWN TO EAST CAROLINA

I am going to be heading down to East Carolina this afternoon to watch the Pirates face the Memphis Tigers.  This will be my first trip down there this season.  The Virginia football team will be at home against Maryland today.  The Colonial Heights football team lost on the road at Hopewell last night 28-7, and down at the beach First Flight beat Bertie 13-10 and Manteo remained undefeated with 49-18 win over Perquimans.  In the MLB Playoffs yesterday the Cardinals and the Yankees advance to the next round of the playoffs.  In the AL the Yanks will face the Tigers and in the NL the Cards will face the Giants.  Greg Biffle will statrt on the pole tonight in Charlotte, Biffle edged out the old man Mark Martin for the top spot.  Joey Logano won the Nationwide race last night.  MICKEY
