Im from Eastern NC and just 10 miles from me was ECU. Thats exciting for a local team when I was a child to travel 1200 miles to play a local team of mine now. How do they travel? I can't see them taking a 1-2 day road trip on bus.
Don't get me wrong, I like UH, but calling it "another day at the office" after they win doesn't really make sense.
The problem is that there is too many things to do in Houston and also ECU isn't a very attractive team to see.
