I love Wake fans who aren’t alums. Thanks for being a Deac, zqglass.

Records against in state opponents (including FCS) since 2000
WFU: 40-21 .655
NCSU: 36-22 .620
UNC: 32-30 .516
Duke: 24-34 .413
Pretty much speaks for itself.
ECU is 1-0 and has a game against State this weekend. That also makes UNC-CH 0-3.
There is always one or two idiots on the board that give people who didn't go to wake shit about being a wake fan and it pisses me off at the level of stupidity they have. It's basic math....we have 1,000 graduates every year, we need every fan we can get
When I'm on here it's always Deacs first. I went incognito last year when Wake took the trip to Boone. If you ever see me on here saying "we, us, and our" in reference to App please come at me hard.
ECU lost to NC A&T so they should automatically be disqualified.
I was pretty much raised on Wake's campus, and when I went to App they were still in the FCS and hadn't played Wake since '01 or '02. I know quite a few people who are fans of both schools, I'm sorry we weren't aware of that being taboo...
Yeah, it's not like Wake has a big Walmart bandwagon fanbase. You have to really be a masochist to be a non-alum fan.
Utah State is currently ranked.
I feel you glass. I went to App and Liberty but have always loved my Deacs. A few years ago when Liberty was giving us a scare and last year when App was I was pulling for the Deacs
Full disclosure, I grew up a Wake fan and I guess a lot of that has to do with my Dad going there. However, ever since I was a kid, I have been a very passionate Wake fan. Anytime Wake was playing football or basketball my radio had Gene Overby on calling the games, if they weren't on TV and most weren't back then. Of course I've attended countless games over the years in multiple sports. Haven't missed attending a home football game since 2001. I didn't go to Wake, I got my undergraduate degree somewhere else and my graduate degree at yet another institution. Those degrees have served me just fine in life as I've been a partner in a successful CPA for a long time now. While I like to see the schools I got my degrees from do well, they are both opponents Wake faces frequently in multiple sports and they is never a doubt where my allegiance lies on those occasions, it's always black and gold.
It really pains me to see the state our basketball program is in right and that frustration causes me to post things on this board in frustration as I'm sure many of your do too. However, I'm always 100 percent behind Wake, even if I think a coach needs to be fired immediately or whatever.
We need more of these
When were you at App? I was there for undergrad '03-'09 and masters '09-'11.
The way I looked at it last year, the only way I pull for App that week is if they are undefeated with a win over UGA coming in. That would have had them top 25 with a shot at a NY6. But in any other scenario Wake needs that win exponentially more than App does. So I pulled for Wake. It was still really tough to watch, especially with how the game played out. I’m embarrassed to this day about how half of the stadium reacted when the celebration penalty was called after the blocked kick. Although I can’t say forsure the same wouldn’t happen at Wake or any other school, it was just cringey when they showed a close up the students confidently celebrating after Wake has won the game.
The same couldn't happen at Wake because their is no student section during the 4th quarter
Also, I'll say it, who the hell pulls for their childhood team over their alma mater? I grew up a diehard deac. Had season tickets in basketball and football. Went to Wake games throughout college as well. But on any day where App and Wake meet, I hope App slaps the shit out of em. Hate me for it, idc. I'll pull for Wake the other 364 days of the year.
