    The Official John Collins ROY Watch thread

    Technically you are correct... but the organization you mentioned is part of the Southern Baptist Convention. At one time there were 46 affiliated universities to the SBC, Wake is on that list. With apologies for unintentionally hijacking the Collins thread, I found an article which discusses...

    The Official John Collins ROY Watch thread

    I remember Larry Flynt (Hustler) was voted Man Of The Year and more students turned out to see him than Coy Privett the next evening. Lot of unhappy trustees and administrators... But, wasn't Coy involved in some sort of aiding and abetting prostitution scenario? Guess he and Larry had a lot...

    The Official John Collins ROY Watch thread

    Does anyone who graduated from Wake say before the late 80's much less non-Wake affiliated folks remember the ties to the Southern Baptist Convention?

    Me Too [Cuomo joins hall of shame]

    That was the mantra forced on the public during the Clinton Lewinsky scandal... sexual activity is someone's private business and therefore not relent to their ability to hold office... there was a catch phrase for it which is escaping me now

    Me Too [Cuomo joins hall of shame]

    Also thinking... is there anybody in the public eye out there who hasn't committed sexual harassment?

    Me Too [Cuomo joins hall of shame]

    I was thinking yesterday that I am amazed that any public official resigned over these allegations. What happened to the "private lives don't matter" defense? Surprised Franken, Conyers and others haven't tried that approach that worked so successfully for Clinton. If you are an employee of a...

    The Mueller Investigation Is in Mortal Danger

    While I agree with the lack of leadership at the high posts, I find the rest of this post and the whole thread to be problematic... First, I find it interesting that the term extreme far right is applied to Republican voters when all of those making the accusation are supporters of extreme far...

    Discussion

    May have been mentioned previously on a page I didn't view, but I hope A&M brings their full marching band. They are out of this world. I urge all Wake fans to make a point t to see them whenever they perform as they are simply not to be believed. Went to see Johnny football in his soon year...

    Sexual Harassment - Why Now?

    I am not sure if I am buying into the women now believe they will be be lived logic... Anita Hill was supposed to be believed because otherwise why would she come forward? Flowers, Jones, et al, were all liars. Clearly, there were poltical motives at play in those cases... and don't confuse this...

    Sexual Harassment - Why Now?

    Help me with this one... what is really going on? I don't raise this as an individual attack on anyone who has been accused or resigned over this issue regardless of party affiliation or women's rights. But, I want some broader opinions on why this is all such an issue NOW. Let me frame the...

    Inside Trump's Hour by Hour Battle for Self-Preservation

    I have to laugh. When Obama ushered in a let's weaken America on all fronts agenda, I screamed in outrage only to resign myself that I was shouting into the wind. Hope all you want, but Trump isn't reacting to the typical full court press lynching the way the left hopes. He is just doing what he...

    Illinois Post Game Thoughts

    What concerns me is our offense is very much whoever brings the ball across half court is going to shoot... the other four guys might as well sit down and take a breather. As a result, the ball is not fed inside to guys when they are opened. Late in the game we kicked out the ball better to open...

    Omnibus Bowl Projections Thread - Belk Bowl

    I have waited a long time for Wake to play a non-conference team that has national recognition - deserved based on recent play or historical perception - and win. Of course, the press would be how far they've fallen or how unmotivated they were....

    Omnibus Bowl Projections Thread - Belk Bowl

    If I am reading this correctly, head to head results don't matter... NC State and Louisville could both be picked ahead of us in bowls? If we beat Duke, we would be no worse than #4 in the ACC (#3 if VA Tech loses), and we could still end up in less than a Tier 1 bowl?
