Greenville - The C-USA championship trophy isn't even in the trophy case as the talk over Pirate head coach Skip Holtz leaving for Syracuse heats up.
While some Syracuse media outlets are saying Holtz will be named Syracuse University's next coach on Monday, Coach Holtz said the reports are "inaccurate" Holtz is in Charlotte tonight to be the keynote speaker at the Bronko Nagurski Awards Banquet. Coincidentally, Holtz flies to New York on Monday to attend his father Lou's induction into the Collegiate Football Hall of Fame on Tuesday.
Holtz told reporters today that he has not scheduled an interview with Syracuse but wouldn't rule out the possibility of sitting down with them at some point while he's in New York.
"I'm happy in Greenville. I've got a great job and it would take a special situation for me to leave" Holtz said.

Deadfish, I would not go so far as to calling football a violent sport. The violent sport is hockey. That is where most of the fights come in, and Jim, Dr. Lou loves the tradition and what goes on around Greenville, how can you say that dude? Although I will have to say that the ACC is a little bit better of a conference, they are by far the worst BCS conference in football, and by the way ECU is the best college football team overall in North Carolina. Look at the polls and you will see that the pirates are # 28 in the land and none of these in state ACC schools even have a single vote by the press.

ECU would get smashed by any team playing a BCS Bowl. Tulsa had the weakest schedule stregnth in the NCAA this season and that is a fact just look it up.

Jim: What is ALL that "we" stuff? Secondly that injuries belly aching rhetoric does NOT make a FB team any better. Everybody has them. It is called FB, a violent sport, OK? BTW there isn't anything to imagine. Even if you had had an undefeated season it doesn't mean you are ready for the big boys of CFB. Your healthy undefeated team would NOT get more than 10 points against USC if you're lucky. So much for the hungry dog dreaming about a greasy bone!
