[2005 LETTERS, IN NEWEST TO OLDEST ORDER]

A. Earnest Willis
September 4, 2005

What Pirate Fans witnessed on Saturday afternoon was the most important win in school history. To say the Pirates have been down the last couple of years is the understatement of the decade, but what Skip Holtz has brought to this program is hope and he has instilled a belief in these players that they can work hard and win.

Remember other than a few exceptions this is the same team from last year and there is the elephant in the room. We had to be competitive and beat an ACC team. It was for credibility in this region of the country. I think we will be competitive all year. I don't know what the Pirates' final record will be, but I have a good feeling about this program and the smiles on the players' faces are good to see — heck even the cheerleaders were prettier (Saturday).

Thank God for Skip Holtz and good luck to my team the Purple and Gold. I would love to hear "You Can Paint This One Purple" several more times this year. I should not use the word Bowl Game yet but with the new attitude and new life breathed into this program it won't be too long off, if not this year.

A. Earnest Willis (ECU '91 and '93)
Vanceboro, NC
