Good morning. There are only nine days left until football season officially begins and ECU students were tested on if they could name our opponents just based on their logo. How many can you name?

What else are we mixing into today's Brew?

🏈 Rahjai Harris on Comeback Player Watch List
🏐 Girls and women in sports game
​🏴‍☠️ And much, much more!

🎙️ COME ONE, COME ALL

What better way to kick off game week than by hanging with ECU football head coach Mike Houston for the very first Inside Pirate Athletics Coaches Show of the season.

Make sure you’re at Tie Breakers this Monday, August 28 at 6:00pm sharp.

📺 Can’t make it? The show will be streamed on WNCT.com.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Comeback Kid. It’s no surprise that Rahjai Harris was named to the Comeback Player Watch List after recovering from his season-ending injury last season. Before his injury, he played five games with one start. He rushed 238 yards on 67 carries with five scores.

🔙 See what other athletes made the Comeback Player Watch List.

🔼 Girl Talk. For all of the girls out there who love to play sports, it's your time to shine. Get to know the people who work in the sports industry by registering to shadow an ECU Athletic employee during a game. Any girls aged 7-13 can experience this at the volleyball game on September 30.

🤔 PIRATES TRIVIA

Football Spirit. ECU has a fight song and it goes something like this…

Cheer for East Car'lina,
Cheer for old E.C.,
We know we're the finest,
Onward to victory!
GO PIRATES!!!

Cheer for East Car'lina,
Cheer on for old E.C.,
Loyal and Bold,
we're the purple and gold,
WE ARE THE PIRATES OF E.C.U.!

Today’s question—what is the name the fight song called?
