Because he whined about how the media were trashing "the Carolina Way." Even played the Eve Carson card along the way, which is a huge dick move.

The league could announce an expanded “rivals week” lineup soon, according to one membership source, while North Carolina-NC State is considered a possible matchup.

Six teams currently have annual rivals on the last weekend of the season: Virginia Tech-Virginia, Florida State-Florida, Clemson-South Carolina, Georgia Tech-Georgia and Wake Forest-Vanderbilt. The Demon Deacons reportedly are scheduled out with Vanderbilt until 2015 and, according to Vanderbilt associate athletics director Kevin Colon, could renew the series."

He was... Kenneth Waltz - probably the single most important thinker in terms of international relations of the post war era - passed away this Monday. He was a truly remarkable writer and thinker and hugely influenced multiple generations of policy makers both through his writing (which is a defacto standard for nearly every class on the subject now) and more directly as a teacher at some of the most prestigious universities in the country.

On a personal level he was an unbelievably kind and patient man. My wife studied closely under him, and I had the great benefit of meeting him several times in informal settings and was always struck by just how nice he was. He and his wife were nearly inseparable, and she died a little while ago - my wife's comment on learning of his death was "There was a lot on earth for him to still do, but I'm sure he's thrilled to be back with his wife again".

I put this on the politics board because it's more likely that people here would know of him, and because if you haven't read "Man, the State and War" ... you should go do it. You probably won't agree with everything he wrote, and maybe with none of it. That's totally ok, and it never bothered him either (some of his closest academic relationships were with people who had totally opposite views) - but it'll make you think, and that's the best thing you can say about anyone's work.

The Chronicle analyzed the connections among 1,595 four-year colleges and found that they tend to select aspirational peers. Some of the nation's most selective research universities and liberal-arts colleges were the most popular peers chosen."

Seems like there should be more crossover between who Wake sees as a peer and who sees Wake as their peer. There are names on both lists I would agree with but If I were submitting for Wake my list would look different. ]]> The Pit WakeForestRanger http://www.ogboards.com/forums/showthread.php/17590-Who-Does-Your-College-Think-Its-Peers-Are
