OUTSTANDING signing for ECU. This coach gets it.

Great addition, and a steal, IMO. Local athlete who plays strong, and can shoot it.

This is going to be an unpopular opinion in my adopted hometown of Kinston, but it's inherently unfair that Kinston is a 2-seed & Farmville is a 3. FC won the head-to-head AT Kinston & had one fewer loss ... but because an unknown formula determines it, the Jags are a 3? Unfair.

Once upon a time in America, you could disagree with your fellow man or woman & continue to be civil with each other. Seriously — if you didn't agree, there would be no name-calling or other such activity.

You can't buy loyalty. You can't throw money at people for them to be loyal to you.
They'll be loyal to you because they believe in you and your trust in them -- not because you bought them.
