While the partnership between East Carolina Athletics and 5-Star Virtual began before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the timing could not have been any better as the virtual tours have enabled the Pirate Football and Baseball coaching staffs to showcase their facilities to recruits.

The basketball facilities, other athletic facilities such as TowneBank Tower and parts of main campus could be on the horizon!

Chuck Young of SPORTworks Ministry also joined us to talk about how he is still connecting with ECU athletes from afar!

Don Beebe's path to the NFL was like something out of a movie. You'll hear him describe in detail how he earned his opportunity in professional football by going to the NFL combine and running a 4.25 in "flappers".

Once in the league, he was fortunate to be a key cog on six....that's right SIX Super Bowl teams. While the Bills never won it in their four straight appearances, he was able to get the win and "the game ball" from Brett Favre during his years with the Packers.

Now, Beebe is fulfilling what he knows to be God's calling in his life as he is the Head Coach of Division III Aurora University in Illinois.

Jerry McManus joins us to talk about his time as as assistant football coach with the Pirates from 1996-2004 and his son Ryan being the Senior Offensive Analyst on Mike Houston's staff.

Also, sports reporter Zach Maskavich joins us to talk about his new gig!
