Cooper painted a pretty rosy picture for ECU....

It simply wasn’t that black and white. Babcock ruffled feathers, but ECU was hardly innocent in all this. See Atlee’s post below as how things really went down. I hope Tech doesn’t bow down to political pressure. But I don’t think Northam is thinking about VT/ECU right now with all the other controversies in his life.

VT-ECU sports relations are the last thing on Northam's mind right now. -- Atlee Hokie 02/05/2019 12:21AM

1) ECU unilaterally cancelled a VT home game. -- Atlee Hokie 02/03/2019 04:05AM

Did he actually arrange the lodging? IIRC, the ECU side said VT told -- reestuart 02/01/2019 08:44AM

I believe it was in place and ready to go if ECU agreed to come to Bburg, -- RJHokie 02/01/2019 09:48AM

Could be. I'm not sure. I guess it doesn't really matter at this point. -- reestuart 02/01/2019 11:09AM

Whit wanted ECU to wait one more day before making a decision. So, -- RJHokie 02/01/2019 11:13AM

True. IMO, a relationship gone bad. No reason to continue. ** -- reestuart 02/01/2019 11:14AM

If that (flipping VT the bird, with both hands) wasn't insulting enough... -- EDGEMAN 02/01/2019 08:25AM

Thank you. VT couldn't have been more obliging. ** -- IB4TECH 01/31/2019 7:53PM

In ECU's defense, we had no interest in locking down an end of year game. -- reestuart 02/04/2019 3:16PM

But in our defense, ECU didn't have a locked down game when ... -- Atlee Hokie 02/05/2019 12:24AM

Which makes us not wanting to get a game make even less sense, IMO. -- reestuart 02/05/2019 01:35AM
