Bro this is EXTREMELY entertaining. Love the content. The singing is hilarious with the reverb too 😂

[@noctis941]

As someone who was at ECU in marching band at the time, my section's group chat was going crazy when we heard the news. We knew the season was probably screwed before it even started, but either way, I'm glad to still get football content from you!

[@KurtBenkert]

Still makes me sad

Can’t wait to see if you transfer this version of you into Madden 25, but I know you’ve already done a Madden 25 Kurt Benkert rebuild.

[@Neon_tedious]

Gotta do the transfer. Only reason I got Madden 25

My boy Kurt, want to see you transfer yourself to Virginia after 2 seasons bring a natty then port yourself over to Madden 25 and be the #1 pick in the draft.

Bro… every time I hear more of your story, the more I respect you! 🙏🏻 I hope this KZbin thing works for you!

[@KurtBenkert]

Thanks bro 🙏

[@TheLazyPinecone]

What?!? I didn’t know Kurt started at ECU?! That’s lit

[@_noahlockhart_]

been waiting for this kinda content man, need more of these in madden to

[@KurtBenkert]

Glad you’re here dude

[@realtalkgamingtv]

This is what we wanted to see in the first place lol I hope you take this series far into Madden into retiring 💪🏿

[@jordanhurd1988]

The scrambling exercises remind me of BYU vs Utah years ago with the Beck to Harline touchdown with no time left. One of the best football experiences I’ve ever watched.

[@LegalFiction-st7db]

dude that was a goooood game this year though

[@raimondeez]

This was my most anticipated video for my week. I had a really tough week at university, and there’s nothing more fitting than this video coming out on my birthday. Thank you for your content and thank you for being you!

[@nicholasmerritt6426]

Man it was a travesty what happened with Ruff. Glad I was at ECU during the glory days with Carden and Hardy, that game at Virginia Tech to put us into the top 25 holds a special place in my heart. Glad to see you pay homage to the Pirates

[@PirateMTH_ToddH]

I went to my first ECU games in the early 80s and attended the university. Before moving to Texas in 2014, I missed 2 or 3 home games in 20 years. I really enjoyed watching this video. It was fun and stressful. I just picked up NCAA 25, playing with my Son. Been watching your videos for pointers. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. I would definitely appreciate a second ECU season.

[@jacobrodriguez2269]

I love how quietly you celebrate. Great video

[@chiplet6ix172]

bro you're a bad ass youtuber!! I watch a little bit of NFL these days and I honestly had no idea who you were, but its cool!! someone from the "inside" diving into our little world, fun man

[@nunyabiz4168]

Love your videos KB! Not a big YT guy, but you keep me coming back! You seem like a cool guy, genuine, and someone I could see having a beer with while shooting the shit about the game. Before I start rambling, I just want to say, keep up the good work my man! And keep these videos rolling!

[@KurtBenkert]

Thank you dude!!

[@FergTurguson]

my favorite thing about the KB videos....when he gets hype, its quiet hype...we got kids man! lol

[@mace7684]

[@gavinamason6045]

these videos are always so entertaining plus is also fun to watch a former qb from my high school thrive in so many ways

[@DontusArePlentiful]

Love to see it. Seems like you're having much more fun than the Apollo Dimes vid, too. Looking forward to the next one, thanks!

[@Accardo44]

My favorite CFB gamer. Love watching your videos playing College Football 25.

[@qthebars]

Much respect to you bro. Making it to the highest level, regardless of role when you arrive, is dope as fuck. Anyone talking down would dream to experience half of what you did in the show. Salute and respect bro. Keep grinding. 🙏🏿💪🏿

[@Eighty8MPHWinds]

This was wildly entertaining! Can’t wait for next season and beyond!

[@danksinatra9]

Damn coulda stretched this out to a series like 15-25 mins each. Guarantee people would love it. Either way ima watch it 😂 and love those Vikings colors haha!

[@KurtBenkert]

Colors are sick 🤝

[@Chartingtheuniverse]

The first game was the most realistic representation of East Carolina pirates football I’ve ever seen. Greenville has great bars though!

[@jessyfretz5800]

Being a 3-star recruit to go onto make an NFL roster is awesome! Props.

[@tljscrewjob6397]

7:28 It took you 2 hours of recording to get to this point? And the video’s 1 hour and 18 minutes?! That’s dedication only a professional would have. 😂👍

[@KurtBenkert]

Man this video took me WAY too long 😂😂😂

[@addisonandrew4225]

I wanna see this Kurt as the starter from the first game of the year

[@joshyh3208]

Been waiting for this series

[@camdoesitall]

Mannnn, luckily you still made it out of ECU I didn’t have that luxury to leave and i definitely had the talent it’s just nostalgic to see you playing with ECU

[@chrisroberts437]

We want more!! I wanna see you finish college and import to Madden, idc if you already did something on Madden - I wanna see this character all the way through!!

[@X2freeride]

You love to see it. Your always my Madden rebuild a franchise qb grab. Ive got one now with an 89 overall KB at the helm. Dot City man.

[@JamesM18]

LFG ! I just built Liberty University into an absolute powerhouse with the triple option.

[@brettshannon4032]

WHAT?! I had no idea. Born and raised in Greenville, but moved away in 2013 to stay out of trouble. Great, fun town, don't get me wrong, but it can catch people up who aren't disciplined or matured yet. We used to go hard. Haven't kept up with it as much since they became sub-par in football, other than available games with Holton Ahlers since I've come across their family since childhood. Now I know he's certified haha

[@Kdwthechamp]

Keep it going amazing series so far

[@JuanJuan2Many]

The add on of the spongebob moments, makes it even more worth watching.. haha great video

I don’t know if you’re doing it but if you hit L2/LT after your throw you can lead the ball a little further out of the circle could also do this on high ball and low ball throws
