ECU uses billboard to proclaim superiority in North Carolina (PHOTO)



Earlier this season East Carolina defeated North Carolina 55-31, and on Saturday the Pirates beat North Carolina State 42-28. Both wins came on the road, which means that East Carolina is only a victory over Duke away from winning a North Carolina trifecta.

Unfortunately, unless the two meet in a bowl game, that matchup isn't going to happen, but the good news is that didn't stop somebody from claiming ownership of the state for the Pirates on Saturday with this billboard.

Man falls to death celebrating Tennessee touchdown at Georgia Dome

A man died after falling during a college football game between North Carolina State and the University of Tennessee at the Georgia Dome Friday night.

Police said Isaac Grubb, a 20-year old Tennessee man, was reportedly celebrating a Volunteers touchdown when he fell 35-feet from the upper level onto another person sitting in the student section below.

Sadly, it was the second fall to death inside a stadium in as many nights.  On Thursday, a man was killed after falling five stories from an escalator at a Texans-Vikings NFL game in Houston's Reliant Stadium.



Fans who were near Grubb when he fell said he was sitting in section 311 of the Georgia Dome, behind the endzone.  Witnesses said Tennessee scored a touchdown right before he did a fist pump and went over the rail.



The person Grubb landed on was injured and taken to Atlanta Medical Center.  So far, authorities said there is no word if alcohol played a factor in the incident.
