In a parallel universe where Giles chose Wake, he's #4...pretty good for a frosh...and is considered a lock for the lottery thanks to Manning's tutelage. It's worth noting that in this parallel universe the Deacs have beaten Clemson, Duke and Virginia, but are still only 3 - 6 in conference play, and, despite beating 'nova, KP rates the team 43rd due to many bad losses (ahem, UTEP?!).
On the boards, the credibility watch thread posters are genuinely enthused by the marquis wins and is speculating on how Wellman needs to "open up the purse strings," to ensure Manning stays for the long-haul. The Credibility Watch thread Watch Thread, however, is apoplectic over the large number of bad losses (hello, UNC?! (should mention that UNC lost 1/2 of their scholly's and banned from post-season for the past 2 years due to the cheating scandal)) and insist that Manning is both too inexperienced and arrogant to coach at this level ("Man-down - Triage, STAT!!" is a popular spin-off thread).
Disco Dan, who recovered remarkably well from his shoulder issues thanks to the stem-cell therapy available, bumped into Manning after a gig at the Blind Tiger in Greensboro. Manning was obviously very drunk, and as they were shooting the breeze Manning let slip how he's trying to work behind the scenes to snare a "true High-Major" head coaching gig, and called Wake Forest fans, "a bunch of basket-cases." After much contemplation, Dan saw this as a scoop too good to pass-up, perhaps blinded by his own ambition after narrowly missing out on a Pulitzer for his book, Chicken and Football - Conversations from Tobacco Road. Identical to our own universe, many new threads were posted once that MTOW blog post was published.
We lost to BC at home??!!?
