As opposed to the hard scrabble/mean street atmosphere at Duke, Stanford, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and every other WF-like school that competes at the highest level of NCAA sports. :wtf:
Posts like this just drive me crazy. There are 300+ NCAA schools and 1 national champion in each sport; there are 15 ACC schools and only one conference champion. It's really hard to win on the highest level. There are many schools with fewer Nattys than WF and fewer ACC titles in the sports that WF competes in. Hard to win titles. That is why its awesome when your school wins one, or even gets to a final 4 or a CWS. In the end, it's a numbers game, and when there is one winner that means that everyone else ends their season losing their last contest. Doesn't mean that the school is loserville ("soooo Wake Forest" barf) or has a country club attitude or they are cursed or the AD pervaded his attitude on the program. It's just the reality of competing. Everyone isn't f-ing Boston.
So, odd to me that people don't get the reality that there are 100s of other schools that are focused on winning too; so, that losing is the reality for essentially everyone. It's not because your school is flawed just the nature of competition.
FWIW, here are the ACC schools that have NOT won an ACC baseball title since WF's last:
Duke
State
Virginia Tech
Notre Dame
L'ville
Pitt
BC
FWIW, since 1998, WF has won the more ACC baseball titles (3) has won more ACC baseball titles than Clemson, UNC, UVA and Miami. The idea that WF is some kind of pussified country club program that sucks as compared to the much tougher harder edge schools/programs is complete BS.
Sometimes, the self-loathing from our fanbase is just so stupid.
