Bring back the Big Four...
Or Deacon Bowl
Love our own bowl.
I think it was Grobe's first year at Wake, we had a winning record but only played 11 games. We didn't get a bowl bid nor did Hawaii, and there was some talk of the two creating their own "bowl game" (actually not a bowl as they have to be sanctioned, but an "extra game"), based on Wake not playing a 12th game and U. of Hawaii having at the time some funky flexible scheduling allowance based on it giving more teams in the lower 48 a chance to travel outside the continental U.S. At least that's the way I recall it; maybe others can clean up anything I've got wrong. But regardless, the game did not occur and I don't think it got much past the "what if" phase.
