PIRATES AGAINST THE
ARMED FORCES
The Pirates’ eight wins against Army
(8-0 series record) and the seven
contests versus Navy represent the
only meetings East Carolina has
had against the nation’s military
academies who annually compete
for the Commander-In-Chief Trophy
... ECU has never faced Air Force
since beginning its football program
in 1932.
