    2021 ACC Championship Thread: WAKE vs. PITT (Dec 4 - 8pm)

    Wow. I thought Pitt might win! But we’re absolutely embarrassing ourselves. I’m not even that disappointed in the defense. I don’t think we made any offensive adjustments after their defense started getting pressure and as we’ve seen before Sam has just collapsed under pressure

    2021 ACC Championship Thread: WAKE vs. PITT (Dec 4 - 8pm)

    The Atlantic champion is the home team in odd years and Coastal champ is home team in even years, I believe.

    Wake at Clemson - Saturday 11/20 Game Time Speculation

    Hemphill has to be fired. Clemson doesn’t need to even attempt a pass, we know that, and still can’t stop them. Need to start over defensively.

    Wake at Clemson - Saturday 11/20 Game Time Speculation

    Can we please actually fire Hemphill? I know the officiating hasn’t helped but will we ever hold someone accountable for this kind of defensive performance?

    Wake (#9 CFP, #5 SOR) at UNC (UNC-2.5) 12:00 noon, ABC

    Until there is accountability with our defensive coaches this will continue to happen. We’ve scored 104 points against auNC and will have lost both games.

    Pinstripe Bowl vs Michigan State

    3 of our crew are unexpectedly unable to make it so I am selling three tickets if anyone still needs them and hasn’t purchased yet. Seats are section 206, row 11 (the Wake side). My wife and I will be there so we can give you the tickets before the game. PM if interested and Go Deacs!

    Men's Watches

    Please don't buy a Shinola. It's 100% marketing and you're not getting any value for the price. There are some fine mechanical works of art in your budget, Shinola isn't one of them. As the saying used to go, "you don't know shit from Shinola." That referred to the shoe polish which has been...

    It's Gameday

    I was a freshman in '05 and I believe we took about 20-25 kids from Tulane (all freshmen). They spent the semester (maybe the year?) at Wake, but I recall Wake did not allow them to continue - when Tulane re-opened they had to go back. Not sure if we took other years, but the freshman would have...

    Student work load

    +1 to this. He knows a ton of people and if I recall correctly we had some high ranking Atlanta fed guy come to class to chat. Then Wood took us all over to Shorty's and bought people beers. The class I had with him had about 15 people in it, all seniors. I took his class spring semester senior...

    Student work load

    I never had Hans, but based on this I had to check out his website. Doesn't look like he's updated it since 1996, except for the section his daugther obviously added for herself during her senior year in highchool. It's complete with her favorite picnic spot, her favorite tree and her cat...

    Coincidence

    I have three. Neither is as awesome as running into someone your parents knew 25 years ago. After graduation I spent several weeks traipsing through Europe with a buddy before our jobs started. I had studied abroad in Vienna at the Flow House so we ended our trip there before flying home. On...

    i am moving to chicago or charlotte so which should it be

    While I agree Chicago is a better place to live while young vs. Charlotte you really need to consider, as some have already stated, what Chicago and Charlotte really mean in your situation. Downtown Chicago May be vastly superior to downtown Charlotte and let's say that's what you're comparing...

    Malaysian Airline Flight MH370

    From what's been released this is obviously one of the most challenging aviation disappearances ever; however, given the location of the world in which it happened you have two very interesting factors at play (which either the pilot(s)/hijackers considered or got exceedingly lucky). 1) It...

    Malaysian Airline Flight MH370

    You also have to keep in mind that this all happened in the middle of the night. The plane had been in the air for over an hour when the transponder was turned off. Most people would have been asleep when anything happened. On a flight like this, after you got to cruising altitude and said...

    Malaysian Airline Flight MH370

    Something sort of like this actually happened. In 1996, 3 people hijacked Ehtiopian Airlines flight 961, en route from Addis Ababa to Nairobi. They demanded they be flown to Australia. The airplane was carrying enough fuel for the relatively short flight which was not nearly enough fuel to make...
