This is the Case of the Missing 40 Under 40 for ECU's Alumni Association.  There are a lot of questions of why this banquet was canceled.  Who told the Vice Chancellor of Alumni Relations Heath Bowman to cancel the event and kick off two members of the alumni board?

We talked to Dr. John Bream who was suppose to receive an award as a  member of the 40 Under 40.  Heath Bowman resigned as Vice Chancellor of Alumni Relations on Tuesday.  It's another strange event that has taken place over the last few years.

East Carolina University's 1983 Football Team, which finished 8-3 and ranked No.20 in the nation, is one of the best team's in school history and arguably the most talented. The Pirates, who played just four home games at what was then just Ficklen Stadium, won at Missouri and NC State while also suffering near misses at Florida State (47-46), Florida (24-17) and eventual national champion Miami (12-7).

Defensively, the Pirates surrendered just 16.7 points per game.

We kick off this series of podcasts by talking to three defensive backs on that team--Kevin "KK" Walker, Clint Harris and Chuck Bishop! Walker and Harris combined for 34 career interceptions and were Honorable Mention All-Americans!

Stay tuned as this series is just getting started! We have several more volumes on the 1983 team to follow!
