Event – 2009 C-USA Championship Game: Houston Cougars at East Carolina Pirates

Time & Date – 1 pm, Saturday, December 5th, 2009

Venue – Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, Greenville, North Carolina

The last time these two universities met in an on-field battle, it was September 27th of last year. The Pirates hosted the 41-24 game, and the Cougars went home the winners. This year they meet in Greenville again with a rather different prize up for grabs: conference glory.

Both teams have made it to the C-USA championship game once since its start in 2005. Houston won the title in 2006 after defeating the Southern Miss Golden Eagles 34-20, and East Carolina brought it home last year after defeating the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 27-24. The Pirates will be eager to make it two in a row on the 5th, but the Cougars will be just as hungry for second helpings.

On the field since 1946, Houston won its 1st division title and its 10th conference title in 2006. The Cougars have an 8-10-1 bowl games record and a .526 all-time winning percentage.

On the field since 1932, East Carolina won its 1st division title and its 6th conference title last year. The Pirates have an 8-6 bowl games record and a .512 all-time winning percentage.
