Good morning. Can you believe that summer is almost over? These incoming freshman student-athletes can’t either. After completing the Summer Bridge session, and getting settled in their new home, it’s a quick turnaround to a whole host of Pirates hitting the field.

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏈 Preseason camp sets sail
⚽️ Soccer is just two weeks away
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Early Bird Gets The Worm. The football team was up and at ‘em before sunrise for their first official workout of the season. 120 Pirates. 110 minutes of on-field practice. 30 more days until kickoff. We can’t wait.

🎥 Immerse yourself in today’s practice with these sights and sounds.

🔼 Tick Tock. We’re officially two weeks away from ECU soccer kicking off their regular season at Florida and that means a sick intro video is on the way. The women repping the white and purple kits looked fierce in this behind the scenes footage.

🔼 Walk Down Dowdy Lane. Think you’ve seen amazing moments at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium? Now you can relive them and see history in the making at the “No Quarter: The history of East Carolina football and Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium” exhibit inside Joyner Library.

The exhibit is open now through November.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Nobody better. Like we said before, we’ve got just 30 days until kickoff. Speaking of the number 30… 

Shane Carden holds both second place (37) and third place (30) in the all-time passing touchdowns record books for ECU.

Who holds the top spot?
