2024 FB Schedule News

We can and should keep snarking at each other of course, but unless one of the new QBs is a phenom, tough to see how this team gets to .500 or better. I'd love for that observation to look silly next fall.
 
Between our personnel changes and the new-look ACC, going to be very interesting to see how we stack up next season. Crazy schedule.

Ole Miss is likely to be pre-season top 10, and they will be 2-0 when the Rebs visit WF as Ole Miss opens with Furman and MTSU. Depending how the games shake out the first two weeks, not beyond the realm that Ole Miss could be top 5.

And that’s who we have scheduled for Homecoming. Interesting choice

I guess Louisiana isn’t Homecoming because of the Carolina Classic Fair.

I actually see two different sets of dates for the fair on Google. One is Oct 4-13. The other is September 29-October 8. If it’s the former then the only home game during that period is Clemson.
 
I just looked up last year's dates and assumed the same time this year. If it's not Homecoming because of the Fair I guess they chose to make it Parents' Weekend like BBD said.

So half the stadium has yet another reason to leave very early as is tradition on Parents’ Weekend.

The fair is Oct 4-13, but some set up apparently starts the weekend before, which took Louisiana and Clemson out for homecoming. With the Cal Friday game (and Duke at home in the Thanksgiving weekend slot), Ole Miss and UVa were the only options left. It sucks that we will likely get destroyed by a top 10 team and it sucks that it’s so early (and since UVa was a week earlier, I’m assuming that’s why they went with Ole Miss), so it will be like 800 degrees, but we apparently didn’t have much of a choice.

If they’re top 5 maybe there won’t be many good matchups that weekend and we’ll get a night game.
 
Remind me why we can't have homecoming when a fair is going on across the street?

Parking and the homecoming tailgate is at the fairgrounds. I don’t love it, because it takes away from normal tailgating in the lots (or makes it a pain in the ass to do both), but there’s really no other place for it.

It's not a bad schedule though. Only 3 currently ranked teams. This is the kind of schedule Wake should be able to capitalize on.

As for where we stack up in the new ACC long term, that's a different question, and one I have been thinking about alot. There is no reason we can't be consistently better than BC, Cuse, Duke, Cal, Stanford*, and UVA while being consistently competitive with SMU, Vtech, Gtech, Pitt and State. Resources wise, we are going to be behind chapel hill, Louisville, FSU, Clemson, Miami, and ND. If Wake can get back on track, some of these additions may actually help us.

*Stanford is historically good, but they are not equipped for the transfer portal era. I heard an interview with their coach who said that Grad transfers are just something Stanford isn't going to be able to do.

Not even close. Better chance of 3 than 6. Least excited I’ve been about a football season in years.

I think this is a prevailing attitude amongst our fan base, and the timing of the athletic dpeartment trying to get folks to re-up their rights, much less sell new ones, couldn't be worse.

No doubt the timing of the seat rights for all tix is less than ideal coming off a 4 win season.

But are you referring to the prevailing attitude among those who actually buy tickets and attend games? Or the prevailing attitude of the keyboard jockeys?
