ECU Homecoming Review (2K10)

Wow, what a weekend! ECU has never let me down when it comes to creating and reflecting on monumental moments. This past weekend was no different. From B. Paiz's hilarious flashback moment at the Chop House to the "Hot Mess Dressed Girls" at the social functions. Let's not forget the die hard Pirate fans who painted themselves with household paint and passed out from 10 times the normal limit of liquor consumption. Classic ECU you've gotta love it!

Now you all know that I couldn't leave you with that blanket commentary without giving you my homecoming drill list.

My disclaimer as a journalist the below is all true.

Drill # 1 i'm sure you've all noticed by now that you have at least 10 new FB friend request since Saturday. i bet you only remember 3 of them. if we weren't cool in the 90's are we really gonna be FB friends in the 2000's? just food for thought.

Drill # 2 if you didn't speak to me 10 years ago and you know that you acted stank, am I suppose to give you a high 5 and a chest bump at the next homecoming because you had a sudden change of stankness? just food for thought.

Drill # 3 if somebody didn't recognize you because of the 30-70 pounds that you've gained please don't inbox them on FB and say you were acting funny, why didn't you speak? maybe you don't look the same... crickets. just food for thought.

Drill # 4 if you enrolled for a little while and didn't graduate from ECU and you still hold it down at all the social functions, I'M NOT MAD AT YOU! KEEP COMING! just food for thought.

Drill # 5 i think it's somethings in the water in Wilson! shout out to WIDE AWAKE! just food for thought.

Drill # 6 some are pushing mid to late 30's dental awareness has to be on the list, right? just food for thought.

Drill # 7 if you have 8 bad kids you will not get your old college boo back right? just food for thought.

Drill # 8 for all the greeks that showed up to any and every social function BIG SHOUT OUT for showing the youngins how to carry a classy weekend. we appreciate you for it. just food for thought.

Drill # 9 we are all to old to get to the party at 12 am now. for those that work you're normally asleep by then. i saw about 5 of you taking power naps. food for thought.

Drill # 10 forget drills 1-9 let's comeback and do it again! It was great seeing you all!

Below are a few of my fun moments from Homecoming 2K10.

The Measure of a Man.........

the details are below the photos it's a must read story for the men.... The title of this blog maybe familiar to some, it's that of the autobiography of actor Sidney Poitier.  When you mention his name the words courage, great, intelligent, daring, brilliant and faithful may come to mind.  I've got a new name that replaces those words, Von Johnson.   My friend. My brother.  My cousin.  My new HERO. How and what does that have to do with the title? Yesterday, I observed what it means to live the final portion of your wedding vows,  "till death do us part"...... I can't even put it into words how I felt yesterday.  The only word that comes close is "helpless".   It was one of the rare moments in life where you want to take someone else's pain and throw it down the river and start fresh. I learned what the measure of a man is all about.   Can you live on life's edge and handle all it dishes out?  Can you stand in the toughest moments of opposit...

The Players That You Never Knew

With the opening Friday Night of the 2014 high school football season on the horizon, every barbershop in every small-town in America is probably buzzing with the conversation of who are greatest high school football players of all time.  It's a valid question considering the pool of talent that passes through most small towns.  People often wonder where these guys end up long after their playing days are over.  I've often asked the same question about many of my ex-teammates. Two in particular, Darius Brewnington and Kenny Shaw. If you were an athlete in the early 1990's they were arguably considered two of the most influential athletes in North Carolina's rich high school football history.  Unfortunately, like many other high profile athletes life happens.  However, even with the growing pains of life every man has his day of redemption.  With Darius and Kenny being former teammates of mine I wanted to see for myself who they are 20 years removed fr...

Pete's Road Trip

Two weeks ago my friend Pete decided to take a road trip without me. If you're like me, you're probably thinking some friend right? I guess it goes to show you that like most friendships, we too were total opposites. In our teen years, Pete was always there for my major sports accomplishments. For example, when we went to team camp at High Point University he and I won the 2 on 2 competition for the first time, together. A few years later we won the North Carolina State 3-A Basketball Title, and in my sophomore year of college he was in the stands when I scored my first collegiate touchdown. He and our mutual friend Johnny were going nuts. I celebrated so hard that Lamont Burns had to slap me so that we could kick the extra point. Pete was like a little brother to me. So like any other sibling relationship, I would have never told him that he was my motivation for my many athletic accomplishments. It's a part of the unspoken sibling code, worry your brothers, sis...
