"The rank-and-file fans have been wise to the dumpster fire consuming their once proud program, but the problem is, any and all protestations are falling on deaf ears. Best anyone can tell, the man most responsible for the plight of all Wake athletics, Ron Wellman, simply no longer cares.
On the other hand, Ron Wellman, by not addressing the current contract status of Danny Manning, is showing that he doesn’t care what you as the rank-and-file fan thinks."
Nailed it. Anyone who attends games or continues to enable this shit, really doesn't understand just how bad things have become.
Wake Forest's Decade of Futility has not only caused me to not care about WFU hoops but as a result, I don't really care about ACC basketball either. I used to be able to name the starting five for every ACC team. This morning I realized that I couldn't tell you the name of ONE player at any ACC school.
Mr. Wellman, (Hatch also copied)
I am a lifelong Wake Forest fan and a "double deacon" (-redacted-). I'm a past season ticket holder for basketball, despite living out of town and spent years living and dying with every win and loss.
The last nine years have broken my spirit. I had hopes for Manning early on but over the last couple of seasons it has become abundantly clear that he is not the answer. As long as he is our coach the team will perform far below its potential. This HAS to be as apparent to you as it is to everyone in the fanbase that is still paying attention.
It is clear the student body is no longer invested in what was once our flagship program, and that is the real shame. I can't really blame them. Athletics is one of the strongest forces binding alumni to their school. With the decade of irrelevance our basketball program is experiencing, we have lost an opportunity to bind 2.5 generations of students to the school. We will be paying the price for that failure for the next 50 years in lack of alumni support and giving.
Decisive action needs to be taken right now. Every listless performance that goes by with Danny Manning still pacing our sidelines looking bored is further evidence that you and the powers-that-be at Wake Forest no longer care. Please prove us wrong and relieve him of his duties.
I am of no importance as a donor or supporter but I won't be attending any more events at Wake or donating any of my hard-earned money until something is done.

Come on. You can't name one player? So if I mentioned Zion, you'd have no idea what I'm talking about? Then you must never watch anything at all on all ESPN . . . .

I remember posts from the likes of CharlotteDeac, DCDeac, Wrangor, and RJ about how this is the first time Manning has length on the wings, instead of "F-minus defenders" like Keyshawn Woods. Let's see what he can do!!!
#211 defense this year is the worst-ranked defense under Manning. Defense rankings by year under Manning:
125
128
176
130
211
Go away Dukie. We don't need any dry humping or floor slapping here. Enjoy your win Tuesday night and move on. Let us die in peace.
the inevitable crow-eating dismissal of the robot.
Will Duke fans outnumber Wake fans on Tuesday?

I look forward to this game every year. I've gone into just about every Wake-Duke game thinking we have a punchers chance. No longer is that the case.
I went down the YouTube rabbit hole last night and watched a bunch of classic games at the Joel. Anyone who tries to say we "never" had an electric atmosphere at the Joel is totally full of shit. Place was a top-15 game day atmosphere for a couple of decades.
