My favorite BK of moment was when he was bashing the Army and Navy football players during the Army Navy football game
 
I never, or very rarely, venture over to the politics board so as not to affect my view of anyone in regards to their sports takes - so I don’t know the political Bob. I do, however, know that he had some bold Wake sports takes that were pretty entertaining at times. RIP BKF

And then voted for a guy who glorifies the armed services despite railing against glorification of the military that week.
 
I vote to let Bob out of the bet. He's been worth a lot of laughs. And if we can send a child molester to the US Senate, we can keep Bob.
 
Stop quoting him.

Well, I'm going to use my last post to rebut RJKarl's vicious personal attack against me to clarify my position vis a vis my feelings about today's WF millennials as it regards to personal situation.

1) RJ would have you believe that I decided to marry my wife to step into a job with her father's company. That could not be further from the truth. My 1st date with my wife was on July 31, 1963....9 1/2 years before I took a job with that company on January 29, 1973 (and 4 1/2 years after we were married on October 4, 1968). The entire idea that I would ever work in that company came about completely unexpected when he began to have health problems at age 62. I had taken a job with Burlington Industries as an administrative trainee making $7,500/yr just six weeks after graduating from WFU. Then I was drafted about a year later and spent two years making less than $3,000/year before going back to my job at BI. During all of this time there was never any thought that I would ever work in that company.

2) I dated my future wife for more than five years before we were married....all the way thru my four years at WF....and next October we will have been married for 50 years. I would say that our relationship has endured and should be envied by people like RJ (and others here), rather than mocked. For example, maybe RJ could enlighten us on the endurance of his personal relationships over all these years by comparison. After all, he is only six years younger than me. At any rate, RJ's idea that this relationship began with my plan to get a job there 9 1/2 years later is simply ludicrous.

3) My point about the millennials is that I took a job making $7,500/year six weeks after graduation. That would probably be equal to $35-$40,000 in today's dollars. I am fairly certain that there are jobs available out there for recent WF grads in that salary range if they wanted to take them....but they don't. They feel that such jobs are beneath them, and since many evidently have access to family money to continue going to school for another 2, 4 or 6 years rather than taking a $35-40,000 job, many of them just continue going to school. That was not an option for me. My dad was a blue collar machinist for Western Electric who never made more than $8,000/year in his life. I have been mocked for saying that I went thru my four years at WF without ever having a car on campus....thumbed home on weekends, etc....but I'd love to see today's WF students try to go thru their four years under similar circumstances.

So, that's it for me. I am certain that this post will also be twisted and mocked, but at this point I'm all in with you guys. Actually, it's a relief to be gone. We both won in this deal.

As usual BKF tries to change the point. I said nothing about his dating or subsequent marriage. It has obviously worked very well and should be applauded.

But that doesn't change the fact decades of his life's work were given to him by his family ties being 100% accurate. It's absolutely no different than millennials' parents helping them out, yet BKF could be an Olympic gymnast in his attempts to say he was different when the truth is there was no difference. Again BKF misrepresents my post and position. I am and have been agnostic about it. In reality, I am appalled at successful parents that don't pay for their kid's college.

RE: $7500 - that would be : "$7,500.00 in 1968 had the same buying power as $53,414.16 in 2017" -Not sure how many millennials would turn that down if they weren't going to grad school to earn more. It's a different world than the 60s or 70s. To have many opportunities today, one must go to grad school in their chosen fields.

Thus, BKF's rant about staying in school is baseless drivel.

As everyone knows, I am not unwilling to take shots at millennials (often I don't, because it's too easy), but BKF's attacks are textbook hypocrisy.

What's so wrong with BKF? He's conservative? I honestly want to know, so let's hear from people who didn't vote for H Fucking Clinton, because she's nothing but a traitor dyke. Otherwise, I welcome honest opinions on this key issue of our day ...

Pretty sure he was a registered democrat, before the 2016 election. So, no, it isn't because he's conservative.

The dislike on this board for bkf may have something to do with him openly rooting against Wake sports, wearing a UNC sweatshirt to a UNC/Wake basketball game and ripping on the Army/Navy football game. Oh, and he also referred to Sen. Tim Scott as an "Uncle Tom".
 
and the attention whore posts "one last time" just like an attention whore would do.
 
Well Hillary killed a lot of people, does anyone really know what happened to Bill's dad?

Not that anyone should give a rat's ass, but if true I'm coming out of my self imposed retirement from the boards. Been lurking for some time now - good info, insight, etc., but the insanity shown by numerous people hating on Wake just got too much to deal with... and BKF was the absolute worst. I've been a member for a long, looong time... I've been around since the 90's.

I applaud Townie having the guts to make the bet. Here's hoping this holds. :bowrofl:

I'm all for lively debate, but this clown seriously just hated the Deacs.
