What are the odds?

I like sweatshirts, heavy large, bulky sweatshirts. I have no idea how many I have, quite a few. 20 or 30 years ago we had a Sears Discount Outlet nearby, I bought many there, for a dollar or two. Then we had a Gabriels, a discount house, sold them for a buck or two, on occasions, and I would stock up there. And for probably 50 years, Goodwill Thrift Shops. We used to hit them once a week, get stuff we didn't need, for not much money. I have bought items I didn't even know what they were, but they were inexpensive.

I remember once, probably ten years ago, did our Goodwill visit and on the front rack, probably 30 or more nice sweatshirts, like new, then had gotten them from a retail outslet, I think they were $3, I bought all in my size.

Today I grabbed one off the pile, a purple one, had it on all day. Went to Facebook, and saw there was a Bowl Game on that I wanted to watch, Ohio University was playing. I got it on, the game had just started, noticed they were play East Carolina ...... I said to myself, "Self, that sounds familiar," I looked down at the writing on the sweatshirt, E A S T C A R O L I N A ... in big 4 inch letters. Now, what are the odds on that/
