“I don’t think it’s a program thing, it’s just the way Wake Forest is always going to be,” “We’re going to be a team that’s got some talented kids, we’re not overly talented, we don’t have a lot of depth. We can’t afford too many injuries like what happened to us last year. But more than anything else, we’re just a team that’s capable, but we’ve really got to play good every week. Some teams are talented enough that they can have four or five down weeks a year and still play good enough to win, but Wake is not that way. We’ll never be that way in this league, or even with the teams we play nonconference. We’re a team that has to play good every Saturday, and any time we don’t play pretty good, we’re not going to win.”
I hate that quote so so so so much. It's a defeatist mentality. Jim Grobe knows better than anyone that outstanding accomplishments are possible at Wake. You can't lower your own standard and say "we can't."
