How does ECU look?

[AppStateNews]

I don’t feel that the NC State situation is a fair comparison. Any issues, should they arise will not prevent us from playing for a National Championship. While I understand your point about vaccinations mitigating the “Potential” of a loss by forfeiture, it’s just a game.

But if that "just a game" causes us to forfeit the SunBelt Championship game that in turn causes us to miss out on a undefeated season and the NY6, that's exactly like NC State..

Work your tail off all season to get derailed by some teammates that chose to not get a safe and effective vaccine based on technology that's been in development since.late 80s/early 90s.

Safe and effective? It’s so effective that even after you get the vaccine you can still get, spread, and die from the virus. And I personally know more people who have died from complications from the vaccine than I know who have died from the virus.

You have a VERY unique group of friends.

Not anymore apparently.

This is just wrong. You need to delete this ASAP.

Per Coach Clark, “roughly 90% of the team has at least 1 shot.” That should mean that most or all of those 90% will be available game 1, unless they present symptoms. It’s not our business who is in the 10%, but as we’ve seen on Twitter this week, just supporting the freedom of choice via retweets doesn’t necessarily equate to not having the jab (reference the spat with the equipment team).

Also, I find it kinda interesting that the majority of people on here complaining about players not being vaccinated are taking the “it could impact the football season” approach, rather than “this virus is deadly and could kill” approach. Seems self-serving to me. Anyway, back to ECU.

the 20 year old's probably aren't worried about "deadly" just by being 20 years old, that's why wars are fought by old men.

How does ECU look? Better than App.

Yeah it’s kinda been said ad nauseum how deadly and disrupting this virus is. I’d rather not argue with the GQP folks up here who want to say it’s no worse than the flu. Since they don’t give a shit about how deadly it is i figured maybe using foosball to get through to them would be a better route. Anyway, back to ECU.

For those who like to accuse me of always wanting to say or imply that I only post for self attention, i will only make one further observation other than stating " I stand by my post." This thread is supposed to be about "How does ECU look." However, 1.There is a REMOTE possibility the game MAY NOT even be played. 2. It could be played without our having our usually large and boisterous crowd. 3. This discussion HAS to be about the virus (which some say is only as bad as the cold or flu, others say we are all going to die from it, and individuals, how ever few, think like me being; in the middle somewhere). In other words, the discussion has to be about both the virus as well as how ECU looks.

This is on my part simply an opinion, but again, I will stand by my post and will take the bait only to say, "I stand by my post."

East Carolina's football team has been tabbed in the eighth spot in the preseason American Athletic Conference media poll, as announced by the league on Wednesday at the conference's media days. The Pirates and Navy were tied for eighth with 85 points apiece. Temple was slotted 10th, and USF last at 11th.

ECU was picked to finish 10th last year. The Pirates ended up finishing ninth.

The Pirates are entering the third year of the Mike Houston era. ECU went 4-8 (1-7 AAC) in 2019 and 3-6 (3-5 AAC) last season. The Pirates closed the 2020 campaign with consecutive wins over Temple and SMU. The 3-5 record in league play marked ECU's best conference finish since 2015, the year Ruffin McNeill was controversially fired after a 5-7 campaign. The Pirates also would have had another conference win if not for a blown call at Tulsa, which eventually made the conference championship before falling to Cincinnati.

East Carolina is tabbed 69th out of 130 teams on college football guru Phil Steele’s Power Poll, where his computer formula ranks each team based on a variety of factors. Cincinnati tops the AAC at No. 18, with UCF just outside the top 25 at No. 30. Tulsa is 46th, SMU is 56th, Houston is 60th and Memphis is 68th. Steele has Cincinnati winning The American, and UCF in second, with Tulsa, SMU, Houston and Memphis in a four-way tie for third. ECU’s FBS non-conference foes are also represented on the list with Appalachian State at No. 42, South Carolina at No. 88, and Marshall at No. 92.

So according to Phil Steele's poll ECU is a better team than Marshall or South Carolina. It's going to be a battle in Charlotte.

It’s going to be a great game in Charlotte. But I also didn’t realize Marshall was supposed to fall that far this year?

I’m wondering if the poll is factoring in the fact that Marshall just got a new head coach?

New HC and they had some key guys transfer.

You have a VERY unique group of friends.

The people I know who have passed from complications from the vaccine were parents of neighbors. If that's what you're referring too. Everyone I know that has gotten the virus has recovered. Even my uncle who has serious lung problems. He spent most of 2019 living in a bubble while undergoing stem cell treatment trying to rebuild his immune system to fight scleroderma-related interstitial lung disease. Unfortunately it didn't work. He was on a ventilator for a while but ultimately recovered to where he was before covid. I realize that I'm lucky that covid hasn't effected my family and friends and if you want the vaccine please get it but I still think forcing an experimental vaccine on very low risk population and then having the NCAA punish those that decide not to get it is a very stupid idea.

and then there are actual facts
Between December 2020 and July 19th, 2021, VAERS received 6,207 reports of death (0.0018% of doses) among people who got a vaccine, but this does not mean the vaccine caused these deaths. Doctors and safety monitors carefully review the details of each case to see if it might be linked to the vaccine. There are three deaths that appear to be linked to blood clots that occurred after people got the J&J vaccine. Since we now know how to correctly treat people who develop these blood clots, future deaths related to this very rare side effect can be prevented.

Misinformation is a problem. For 18-22 year olds it is about as deadly as the flu. For the elderly and preexisting condition population it IS deadly (get vaccinated). This isn’t political, just the results published by numerous entities.

[bcoach]

It is absolutely political and that is a shame because this is going to get worse before it gets better. Comparing this to the flu is just plain ridiculous.

Agree...and I'll add that those 18-22 year olds can pass the virus to others who might be high risk before they go into quarantine and end up killing them. Also, the fatality statistics don't include those that get the virus and have lingering negative health effects that impact them for the rest of their lives.

It’s going to get worse post vaccinating 70% of the population?

That is fear mongering.

See you guys in a packed BofA stadium. Football is back don’t let the media tell you otherwise.

Let me know when it gets to 70%

Damn that FG moved behind the NEZ is going to be hard to hit…

Even in the face of CNBC reporting we can’t use their reported numbers. It will never be enough.

[AppSt94]

Listen to what Democrats said about the current vaccines available when they were looking for control. There should be little wonder why people feel the way that they do.

I wish they would’ve used this same energy when reporting covid deaths. We’d actually have an idea of the true death rates and this thing wouldn’t seem as political as it does now. But because of how they handled the reporting in the beginning to entice fear and the hypocrisy that has plagued their mandates they’re going to have a very hard time getting people to trust anything they say.
