The Sports Objective

We talk college football!

We talk college basketball in North Carolina!

With East Carolina traveling to Philadelphia this weekend, we welcomed Ryan Wallen of Owls Daily, Temple's 247 Sports site, back to preview the match-up between the Pirates and Owls!

Dave and Si talk East Carolina Basketball as we are just over a week from tipoff against Indiana State.

North Carolina has 18 Division 1 Men's Basketball programs. We take a look at East Carolina, App State, Duke, North Carolina, Wake Forest and NC State in Part 1 as we are joined by Head Coaches, PxP Voices and Beat Writers.

It has been 50 years since Southern Airways Flight 932 never reached the runway at the Tri-State Airport as Marshall's Football team and other supporters--75 in total--were returning home from their game at East Carolina. We reflect on that tragic event by talking to Marshall Athletic Director Mike Hamrick, former Herd assistant coach Red Dawson, former player Mike Swartley, East Carolina players John Casazza and Jimmy Creech, Keith Morehouse--son of the late Marshall PxP Voice and Sports Information Director Gene Morehouse and writer Jeff Barron of the Lancaster (OH) Eagle Gazette.

We talk Pirate hoops with ECU Head Coach Joe Dooley before welcoming Chris Dyba, East Carolina's Vice Chancellor for University Advancement, to the show for the initial time.

We take a look at Friday's match-up with the 7th ranked Cincinnati Bearcats, as Chad Brendel of the Bearcat Journal rejoins us. Former East Carolina linebacker Jerry Dillon returns during the second half hour.

We reflect on the Pirates' lopsided loss to Tulane.

We preview Week 10!
