It didn’t take trekking to East Carolina in Week 4 to figure this out, but you should try it sometime anyway. There’s a county fair set up down the road right now, and there’s good barbecue in town. There are students skateboarding languidly down the streets behind mounted police officers,2 and thick gusts of meat smoke emanating from hundreds of grills in grassy spots and church parking lots. There are hordes of students in violently purple T-shirts with "UNDAUNTED" across the chest, and indeed, two weeks after a loss that could end up defining the Pirates’ season, their fans packed Dowdy-Ficklen to the point of setting a new school attendance record. The Pirates themselves take the field running out from between the mandibles of a massive inflatable skull. You’d like it there.
