Your level of insight is unmatched. You'll be a CEO in no time.

That's the thing about college football. So far we have seen good emotion from the Deacs, and I expect that to continue. If we come out ready to play, we win unless we turn the ball over too many times. We are the better team.
Last time I went to the game at BC they had just joined the conference. We got tickets in the BC section so were surrounded by Eagle fans. They were nice enough (Irish Catholics are a fun group in general), but were clueless. "Where is Wake Forest? Illinois?" We lost that game on a last-minute fumble at the goal line. Depressing drive home. We stopped and got drunk at a hotel bar and stayed there for the night. Then the long drive home the next day. Well, nobody said being a Deacon fan was easy.
BTW, the BC stadium is odd. You are walking through a suburban neighborhood (Newton) and turn the corner and there is this enormous structure. It's like if you put a large football stadium in Scarsdale. Or Country Club Road.
Sort of. Depends on where you come in from. Their campus is pretty good size and it’s on their campus. From the Boston side it’s just on campus from the reservoir.

I used to live in Boston. Have been to BC games a number of times. The stadium experience sucks.
Having said that, they aren’t a shitty team just because of one loss to Kansas.
As others have mentioned, they’ll likely be playing with a sense of urgency and I guarantee they aren’t in any way intimidated. The #24 ranking is only another reason for them to be motivated.
It’s also our first real road game, though it won’t be a particularly hostile environment.
Feels like a toss-up... That’s why I’d take the points.
BC squeaked by Hokies even with VTs 5 TOs and Hokies squeaked by Furman. BC is a decent team but WFs O is special and averaging 500 yds and 40 pats/game and the only thing slowing it down is WF coaches in 2nd half vs UNC.
As long as WF doesn’t lose TO battle by 2 or more we roll.
This game worries me a lot. I thought we'd beat them at home last year and they mashed us.
We still had Sawvel as DC and if you haven't noticed a major improvement in the d you're blind
Yeah, that was the most prototypical Sawvel game of them all. Blown coverages leading to big pass plays, and multiple defenders hitting the same gap as the RB blows through a hole with no one around. Hopefully the Wake defense can continue to avoid giving up the big plays and force BC put together long drives.
