I have no faith in the announced attendace at Wake games.

Even if they were off by 4K, we are right around VPI's numbers. Which nullifies the original point.
TJ Cline is still at Richmond. I can only assume he is a 9th year senior at this point and will demoralize us with his old-man strength.
In addition, I was at the Wake-VPI game last season and it was nowhere near capacity. Attendance was 4,985 from their official site. Wake probably hasn't had one that low in 10 years in an ACC game (probably longer).
Here's a picture of the crowd:
lol what did you even type in to find that picture?
If we lose any of our next three games (Richmond, Charlotte, and UNCG) then I believe people can hit the panic button. We should be nothing less than 8-2 going into the Xavier game.
I think most on this Board will be ecstatic IF Wake wins all 3 and not surprised if Wake drops 1. More than 1 = panic button.
Edit: I see that point was made earlier
Panic as in we are probably headed for a 15-16 win season. If that's the expectation for most people, then we'd be right on schedule. If you're expecting 19-20 wins, then I'd say you can panic.
Kind of related: Went to the Pitt/MD game Tuesday night, and came away very impressed by the size, poise and athletic ability of Pitt (Pitt exposed unbeaten MD leading by 26 at MD at one point before winning by 14; every Pitt is starter is 6-6 or bigger and they can shoot). According to kenpom and most prognosticators, Pitt is considered a bottom-half ACC team that WF would be competing with to get to 16+ wins. Bottom line is the ACC is ridiculously good this year. So, if WF is going to have a winning record or hope to even get in the "on the bubble" talk, WF must rack up all of the OOC wins it can because come January it's going to be very tough for everybody. While losing the Richmond game wouldn't end all hopes for the season, it would be a game that the team and fans would look back on as a loss that materially impacted the view of this season.
