Is ECU really trying to buy us out? Why? The rumors surround their stadium renovations Pay us off and lose revenue from a home game because of stadium renovations?? They'd be better off playing the game using only half of the stadium.

Do we really feel that good about our returning OL to be competitive in this game?

The rumor was that they would buy us out for our $300K and pick up a road Power 5 game which would pay them a guarantee in the neighborhood of $600K. So... yeah... especially since they already lost to us in men's basketball. But I won't believe it until I sees it.

Unfortunately, that's the most important part... and we've had a Day 2 NFL draft pick manning that position for 48 straight games. Lamar is a mobile QB... but that LT spot worries the daylights out of me.

This game would be as intriguing as our past games with Kent State and Charlotte.

(cant wait til the 12 game schedule in 2019) Assuming ECU would drop off, we could easily pencil in a D-2 or preferably a non-scholarship FCS cupcake like Davidson for the home opener as an early breather between JSU and G-W. That wouldn't be a problem. That has been our MO for over half a decade now.

Man, yall are taking about this ECU rumor like it is gospel.
It was started on a ECU message board last year by some poster who said he heard it from somebody who heard it from somebody else.
Nobody of any significance has ever confirmed that the game being bought out was even a remote possibility.

A buyout, in most instances, would have already been announced by now.

I would hope they move it to Atlanta and maybe use Georgia State stadium. And if ECU were to buy us out its because scottie mo wants to save his job and not take a chance losing to another top FCS school.

I’d be all for it if JSU was Jackson State University Tigers at more of a mid point like Atlanta, but Jacksonville State in Alabama...ain’t feeling that at all. I have no links, ties, or interest in Jacksonville state...

Aggie One I cannot believe you are even engaging in this nonsense. Am I missing something. And for the Love of god help me to understand if the ECU is gospel why would we consider playing JSU on Aug 25th. Seem to me we would just play them on labor day weekend if we know for sure we have a open date. I am not buying it. I wish the AD could shed so light on this so we can get pass this so call rumor. Are you all hearing this from the ECU football board. This is a side note. I did not know FCS schools could play one week before Sept. I thought only D2 school could do that. But I must be wrong.

I agree Aggie96...that is like a home game for them. Even ATL is closer for them...it is like 1:15 away from their campus.
