As a 70's alum who sat thru 4 years of absolute football futility with literally the highlight being watching All-American Chuck Ramsey's punts (the largest cheers the whole afternoon were usually for his punts during warm-ups; not many stayed around after halftime to watch his other kicks),and who also witnessed some pretty decent Wake basketball during that period, this statement is still a bit jarring though 100% accurate.
I was a kid when Bones was coach. Football was an afterthought. Having Clawson, Forbes and Currie in charge gives hope that the programs are finally turning the corner.
