NC State Game Time - Noon ESPN

Jamie Newman is greatness

Hartman is 6-6

Remember this forever

Another thing I told y’all

Agreed on Newman. Hartman is much better than the kid we played against today, who was in Hartmans QB class and ranked a lot higher.
 
Wake is heavily in the driver’s seat for OB. Two game lead in loss column over everyone in the Coastal right now and even if Clemson is assumed loss it’s a game lead.

Shared the journal write up on Facebook and within 1 minute a UNC fan commented how he didn’t see Clawson at Wake much longer. Wishful thinking I hope.

The State blogs were full of similar ideas this week.
The Holes, Dookies, and Wolphies WANT us LOWF.
They have no respect for us and, honestly half the time it comes off as their kinda scared if we aren't.
 
Not to defend state fans but most that I’ve talked to and seen comments from have been complementary and deferential to Wake being a quality team this year.

Amen! I almost always go in the stadium as soon as they open the gates, but my wife and daughter usually stay in the parking lost until about a half hour until kickoff which is fine. Anyway, my wife was listening to the people that parked beside us before she came in, Wake fans that were tailgating and they were talking about how they decided not to even go into the stadium for the FSU game because they were having such a good time tailgating. That is pathetic!

Pathetic? Sounds awesome to me. A real football culture has folks partying in the lots the error entire game in addition to folks in the stands. The betterphan posts are lame.
 
Loving some of our new redzone looks. Staff definitely looked to mix things up today.

A real football culture has a full stadium at the start of the game. We're not there yet. We were better today than for Louisville and FSU, but some of that was because there were a good number of NCSU fans at the game and because the weather was nicer.

Clawson is way too smart to call out the fans, but you can tell the lack of people in the stands gets to him. That's why he says stuff like, "we thank the fans that were there" or "we thank the fans that stayed until the end."

Clawson has built a program that we should strongly support. If the stands were full and people were also partying in the lot the entire game, that would be great. But that's not the case. We should strive for a full stadium at the start of the game.

everyone knows we will finally win an acc game in a laugher, it's been a long time coming ...

Wisest margin of victory in an ACC home game in 50 years and we all saw it coming.

We all agree next week will be much tougher and Clemson is 0% chance (rounded to two decimals so maybe 1 in a million)

So, you’re in favor of season ticket holders deciding to not even come in the stadium to support the team? Like I said, pathetic.
 
Overall a good team win. The only concern I have from this specific game was the run defense that wasn’t a concern in the second half since they threw it.

VT will be tough. Im assuming wake will be -3. This really is a toss up. We should put 100% into this game (we should theoretically put 100% into every game, but let’s be real).

The Clemson game will be a blowout regardless of the outcome. We aren’t there yet. Focus on VT.

That was actually the fewest number of State fans I’ve seen. Yeah, there was still plenty, but our fans turned out, even if a lot arrived after kickoff.
 
Some dude on Facebook posted Washington has a dreaded high ankle sprain. As tight lipped as Clawson is on injuries I wonder if this dude is just wanted to make like he’s in the know?

Scotty is definitely a Key player but 2 other damn good ones at that position with lots of depth including some touted frosh.. beat the hokies
 
The scourge worsens for State and the demon Deacon affliction strikes State again with deadly effect. Wake can relish beating a rival, according to their local beat reporter, that is so good they wouldn’t recruit our players who carry a grudge. (tongue in cheek)

Casual ACC fans near WF constitute those empty seats, game time tailgaters and late arrivals. It takes consistent winning to turn these “fans” into the dedicated variety. Walk into a roadside convenience store and count the WF merchandise compared to all others IF you can even find WF items for sale. It’s a numbers game and WF has only one print media regularly covering them.

Our reluctant rivals definitely will encourage a coaching departure along with their hopes of keeping WF down. WF can avoid such an outcome if WF fully commits to football.
 
We really should convert the rest of the bench seats to chair backs and cut out ~5K of capacity.
