PURPLE...GOLD....
Last Saturday was the beginning of the purple haze that consumes my life in the Fall. To be honest, when I was a student at ECU, I went to a few games, but by no means did I ever go to all home games except one. My obsession with the Pirates is new-found. I believe my obsession began when I found Chris (again). Another honest part of this - I'm still not obsessed with football - I'm obsessed with how excited and pumped up Chris is about football season. His excitement is contagious and I now find myself talking about the upcoming game on the Monday before and I find myself planning my purple and/or gold outfit that I'll be rocking at the next game. So if you don't want to become obsessed with the "pirate life," stay far away from Chris. I swear to you, he lives and breathes Pirate football. Looking up YouTube videos of "Purple Haze" and highlights of games is like porn to him. Thankfully, last weekend, we pulled through with a win against ASU, but boy was it close. Too close. Because you see, my dear sweet boyfriend get very upset if we lose. And by very upset, I mean he wants to leave the stadium immediately, not talk to a soul and go home and sulk. That does not make for a happy Emily. I'm the kind where I'm bummed we didn't win, but I still want to go out and have a good time....it's not like the world's over, right?
This weekend we go up against some more Mountain Men...except these are tougher. On Saturday we play WVU on their turf. I'm hoping my Pirates have been figuring out what went wrong last Saturday during the 2nd half because I really don't want to have a grumpy man on my hands....This weekend we'll be watching the game in Raleigh (that's the plan as of this posting) and I hope to see some more purple and gold out and about. Gooooooo Pirates!!!!
We are the Pirates of ECU, HEY!!!!!!
