That ECU to Orlando trip....


might be the reason ECU canceled the VT trip on Tuesday. I think they wanted to use the situation to their advantage. They decided to cancel the VT game and head to FL to have two weeks to prepare for their conference game with USF.

Their AD could not agree to wait until Wednesday to make the decision to cancel with VT because he was already making travel arrangements for the ECU team to head to Orlando. If he waited until Wednesday, the forecast might change and the ECU team would have to make the trip to Blacksburg.

If you have been paying attention to the ECU - VT series, you will understand why the timing of their decision is suspicious. Making travel plans to Orlando before the VT game was canceled would have opened ECU to some serious questions.

This is simple. ECU did not want to play a ranked VT team prior to their conference opener. Driving to Orlando had nothing to do with safety. It had to do with having a two week period to prepare for their conference game. They wanted to put their time and energy into preparing for USF. The certain loss to VT did not interest them in the least.

I hate ECU and I hope this is the end of this series.

I would love to know how soon the buses to Orlando were gassed up, after the ECU AD canceled the game with VT. They were probably loaded and idling in a parking lot until he could drop the news that ECU would cancel the game.
