ECU Pirates Through the Tunnel

If you have never been to an East Carolina University football game at Dowdy Ficklen Stadium, you have truly been missing out on one of the most fun, most exciting college football atmospheres in the country—especially the moment when the Pirates take the field before opening kickoff.

Well, if you have never seen it—heck, even if you have seen it—I’ve got something for you to check out. A friend of mine recently sent me a very cool video of the ECU football team’s journey from the locker room, through the tunnel, and onto the field for a recent home game against Marshall. What makes this video so interesting is that it is shot from first-person perspective using a camera mounted on ECU punter Trent Tignor’s helmet.

Check it out:

Pretty cool, huh? If you listen carefully, you can hear “Purple Haze” playing as the Pirates enter the tunnel.

Sure, I will admit that I am biased since I am an East Carolina alum and a rabid fan of Pirate football. But you’ve got to agree that this is fun to watch. For me, it just provides more incentive to try and make the trip down to Greenville for some games next season.

GO PIRATES!
