Just the most undisciplined, poorly coached shit team I’ve ever seen

I feel the same, want the program to win consistently regardless of who the coach is. But we know from experience that any moderate success Manning might have isn’t sustainable. That’s been borne out over the past 5 years.

I’m always so conflicted watching our team now. Hard to pull against the kids, but don’t really want to see Manning have success when he’s so clearly not the answer and shouldn’t even be coaching the team at this point. I never know how to feel when we win (or when we lose, for that matter)...

Oh don’t worry, it’s coming

Massoud hit a couple of threes and promptly went to the bench and hadn’t been heard from since. And, predictably, here comes Childress jacking up long jump shots late in the game.

Speaking of great Deacs, saw this article on the ACC’s website picking a player of the last decade for every ACC team. Sorry if already posted elsewhere but I didn’t see it. Maybe a little bit of recency bias, but I don’t know how Wolford didn’t even make the short list on this. Camp was a great...

Who else heard Danny call Bob McKillop a “quality old man” in the pregame interview with Stan?

Just one of the worst big men I can remember at wake, especially as our primary “option” at center. So soft.

Oh yeah, and best comment of the night was from the aforementioned mom who told my sister that she and her husband (me) needed to turn around after they saw we were fed up with their crap and weren’t going to take it from them any longer. My sister politely told the woman that I’m actually her...

I was at the game and had a totally different experience. We were on the “visitor” side but surrounded by VT fans. Fans behind us in particular were making rude comments to us every time we cheered for a good wake play, teenage girl sitting behind my sister kept kicking her in the back with her...

Who has been to a game at Lane before? Already have tickets to this one and wondering about parking, any good places to eat, or any other recommendations for the trip, etc.

Fair point. I didn’t make it to the OB the first time - was a poor grad student at the time - so would like the chance to go now. Win at Clemson would be pretty epic though and keeps the ride going longer, assuming we win against state and VT the next two weeks.

Agree, probably around -30 give or take. Clemson was a 35 point favorite against BC this weekend and odds makers should view us as at least a little better than BC.

Yeah, I guess scenario 2 is what I was getting at. I guess at that point rankings wouldn’t matter to us for getting into the OB since ACC CG winner would get the auto bid. Another hypothetical playing off of this...would people rather beat Clemson and then end up in a lower tier bowl (ie, not...

Big hypothetical, but what if we beat Clemson...that likely drops them out of the top 4 and probably into the orange bowl. Depending on what we did in our other games, a win at Clemson might actually hurt bowl prospects as you have to figure we wouldn’t jump them in the rankings. Again, highly...
