I was going to suggest this. A company trip with a bunch of hens to an art house sounds terrible.

Yeah, the one thought one thread people are the worst. "What if.."
Wellman is purposefully delaying the announcement to fuck with the fans? ARGHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite is how many posters are literally experts at dissecting the personality of a guy who they have never met for a second and who rarely even appears in the media that often.
Not as much fun as getting back an old awful poster.
Nope, never have. Going on the list though. Thanks! One of these days I will get to my list. Fucking smart phones. Is there something of his you'd recommend?
I watched the last 10 minutes of my CBJ last night because of this thread. It did not go well.
Wellman's fall from grace is p stunning. Folks may not have been around long enough to remember that after Skip died, the prevailing sentiment was "thank God we have Ron Wellman" and "In Ron We Trust." The dude probably had a 95% approval rating among Wake fans. He fired Dino and that was a real Fuckin' A moment, because folks felt like Dino needed to go, but weren't sure whether Wellman had the balls to pull the trigger. It also seemed, at the time, that he may have had Brad Stevens lined up as a replacement. Cut to a week later, when Goodman broke the [name redacted] hire, which came out of fucking nowhere, and that was pretty much the destruction of Wellman's reputation and legacy. He's been Ronald McDonald Wellman ever since and there is a 10,000 post thread entitled "Fuck You, Ron Wellman" on his board. Amazing stuff.
The Lazarus Project was a National Book Award finalist that's probably his most well-known. Love and Other Obstacles is great short stories.
I love the theory that a guy who's worked for 20 years to make the athletic program better is intentionally sabotaging it just to say F you on the way out. That's evil-genius level shit there.
It's been fun seeing who the new awful posters are after five years away.
Ugh my company voted to go to the Hillwood Estate instead of a Nats game for our summer company outing wtf
right, we loved him back when I was in school and we had Grobe in his prime plus Skip in his prime. we were proud as hell he was gonna chair the Selection Committee and were worried when he flirted with I think Tennessee. Now, he's public enemy numero uno for Wake fans despite making another good football and soccer hire and getting us some crazy good facility upgrades. I went to a Wake Will event in DC in like 2016 and they had little cards they were handing out showing where it had how each department was doing relative to its funding goals. every department was behind except athletics, which had already blown past its goal.
He apparently genuinely thought there was nothing wrong with Bz. He had to be convinced by an outside PR firm to give those terrible interviews as some form of controlling the message/damage control. We saw how that went. It's consistent with how he managed things throughout his tenure, it was just brought into focus with the terrible Bz hire.
