Maybe Packer is referencing the deacons as a hol(e)y team..
Hol(e)y Shit ! Stop this now !
"Swiss Rolls"- headline when we beat Louisville?
Not in favor of having shirts made but it doesn't bother me at all. Especially when his entire point was the Swiss are playing the best football in the conference right now. Not sure where the hate comes from. Mark Packer is what he is, but he isn't spewing the same nonsense you hear from all the other "national" media types.
Packer is fine, has us at the top of the league right now, doesn't give a crap about the college football playoff, which is the only thing anyone else ever talks about, and focuses exclusively on ACC content. He doesn't claim to offer in depth analysis and reporting. He's literally sitting in his basement talking about sports.
Your analysis of the program is spot-on. Packer would be the first to tell you that anyone who gets offended by an innocuous term like "the Swiss" from a balding, overweight guy in flip-flops broadcasting from his basement with two dogs asleep at his feet is taking the show and sports in general way too seriously.
Were people offended, or were they just (correctly) calling it a stupid joke?
Say what you will about the guy, but he’s usually pretty good for promoting wake and the ACC in general. He’s obvious compensated for that.

Today he hung a full-size "Swiss" flag (black background/gold cross) behind him on the set, in reference to his having the Deacs #1 in his current conference rankings. For a flag pole he used a Seminole mascot spear; said that since we owned them on the field it's only appropriate that they should have to hold up our flag. If that offends Wake fans, can't imagine how Seminole Nation feels about it.
