Wilson County Fair

This was my first county fair. My friend Roy was mentioning his plans to go. I commented that I'd never been to one (growing up around Raleigh, it was the state fair for us). So we headed out there on opening day. It was small, but we really enjoyed it. We just missed a pig competition. I was actually a little disappointed. We saw everything from decorated pumpkins to photos to science experiments. I also learned random facts about pigs and goats, as well as how sweet potatoes are grown. We saw chickens, goats, alpacas and rabbits. We had Chic-fil-a for supper; I figured with that, I knew what I was getting. Fun night!

ECU vs. UAB

This wasn't the washout that we hoped for, but a win is a win. We did a better jobf catching than with the previous two games. It was family weekend and it was a good crowd, as usual. I didn't tailgate that day, but was still able to go to the game (a friend's dad had passed away and I felt I needed to attend the visitation. I spent $7 on nachos and water. Really, Megan? That's what I keep asking myself. It was a muggy day, but we hung in there. Nothing new for pirate football. I enjoy where I sit; I have some of the same seatmates as last year. That's the beauty of getting the same seat from one year to the next. Sorry not to have more details. My next football post will have a little more excitement...promise. GO PIRATES!

ECU vs. VT- 9/10/11

This was the first home game of the season. I'm sure you know how it turned out, but they didn't lose too badly. It's always a great atmosphere. I love the cannon and the purple haze. It gets me downright giddy. I tailgated with Campus Crusade for Christ. One of my college buddies, Jeff, happened to be there. We had quite a spread of food and the company was great, too. I kept saying, ''hi, I'm Megan. I'm an alum.'' Yep, been out for a while. It was a hot one, but that's pretty typical for ECU football. It was our second game of the season and also our second match against a highly ranked team. GO PIRATES!!
