Jeff [Redacted] Show: No more live questions/CJ and Cav On Now

At least I have my pro teams to fall back on, so I can experience a little winning in my life. I never thought when I came to Wake that our athletics would become this much of a joke.
 
If Wellman is going to pull this bullshit then we have an obligation to spread the story around the intertubes as much as possible. Andy Katz?
 
I haven't been staunchly Wellman-out until this point, but this is almost worse than continuing to support [Redacted]. He honestly thinks we're all idiots.

This is that new "culture" that President Hatch is so proud of! Surely you don't think Ron Wellman could get away with crap like this without the approval of our "hear no evil" "see no evil" President?

Yep. He clearly made a dividing line between "we" and the fans. It's him, the Athletic Department, and [Redacted] against the fans. The question is where do Hatch and the BOT stand.

I thought this was the key point and probably the dumbest thing Wellman could have done. He drew a line in the sand where there was not one before. If it wasn't clear before, it is now...Bz will not go unless Wellman does.
 
Here's an interesting post from MocksvilleDeac on the "Call in Buzz Radio Show" Thread

Re: Call in buzz radio show and I got this!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well paladeac, like on the wall said, stay classy Mocksville, and I apologize for what I said because. To be honest with everyone I have been so disgusted with our basketball program as a whole that all I planned on doing this season was to just listening to the buzz radio show, and not call in weekly like I normally do!Until yesterday a real good friend of mine that is around the basketball operations, first hand hears buzz bragging about how he used his coaching that he learned when he was with the Miami Heat to out coach the High Point coach! And made the comment that I usually don't like to pat myself on the back, but for the kind of coaching I done out their I may have to! My friend was up in the adjacent rooms of the coaches offices setting up equipment, and heard it all, and this guy wouldn't lie about anything! When I heard that guys my blood pressure sky rocketed, and usually I would have put together a better question paladeac, but I just lost it!
 
I don't even. I have no words for this. The Furman game needs to become one loud fucking demonstration. If you live in Winston, go to the game and get yourself kicked out by Wellman's gestapo, and make it worth it. It's not like your going to miss anything.

It's worse. He DOES NOT CARE WHAT we think!

He's hell-bent on proving his point. Our athletic program is clearly beginning the death process.
 
I honestly don't know how to put into words how I feel about the state of WFU athletics. It's utterly embarrassing. And I don't think I've ever been the pissed off at something that I can't control. It's so stupid. Fire everybody. Except Chill.
 
Wow how did no one think of that before? Brilliant thread, 5 stars, would read again.
 
I don't understand how you can give a coach an extension when he goes 8-24, 13-18, and something like 9-22 this year. How the heck can you give a guy an extension after that?

Time to rally the rich boosters.
 
Saddest thing about this is that Stan is getting thrown under the bus by having to agree with the decision.

I was explaining to a coworker tonight how great life was in 2008/2009 when we were #1 and how it felt to be on top of the world. I just thought back on how good it felt to wake up everyday an be a part of that. It was was fun to be at Wake Forest, fun to be a Demon Deacon. Now, I have none of that. Every day there is a new low. The arrogance the spews out of the AD is just disgusting. I can't not love Wake Forest. This has gotten to the point where it make me deeply sad. For those of us who grew up watching Wake and who went to Wake and have lived and died with Wake, this is a dagger to the heart. Now, Ron Wellman is twisting that dagger making sure every last fan just dies right under his nose. I just don't know if I can do this anymore. For the few posters here that know me personally, you know how much that means and what a void that would leave. I love Wake Forest, but I can't take it any longer. Ron Wellman has taken the joy that my university and that college sports gave me away.

it sucks. and most of us are powerless.
 
Do you think we would have seen this change if we were actually good and fans were calling in showing their support? Doubt it. Ronny needs to wake up and realize how much of a joke Wake Forest basketball has become. Or better yet, he needs to be fired.
 
I understand that university administrators do not like a flood of negative publicity on social media sites. Perhaps an outpouring of posts on FB and Twitter could result in greater openness to the charge that no one is paying any attention to the fan base.

I'm sure that's what Ron is doing. A good number of them probably feel the same way about us too. He's got to have some backing to make a bold move like this.
