Check out the W-S Journal article by Conor O'Neil just posted. According to his interview with Currie, only Clawson and Currie took the 10% pay cut. "All" coaches took "some" pay cut, but this interview is clearly at odds with the claim in the earlier Wake AD's tweet that "all" coaches had...

The positive: 1. He has kept Wake Forest athletics out of the muck and corruption attendant to big-time college athletics. This is no small thing, as demonstrated by UNC athletics -- a citadel of hypocrisy that has given the world a new term, the "UNC Defense" (you can't blame the athletics...

I am running Windows 10 (Version 1709). Over Thanksgiving MS did a big update dump, and now my display screen is distorted horizontally, even though I have the display settings set at the recommended levels. My graphics driver is Radeon HD 3450, and is apparently the latest. Some on the MS...

I am still running Windows 7 and not quite ready to upgrade to Windows 10, but I am getting an increasing occurrence of a glitch that is more than annoying. The problem is in the "Sleep" mode. When I hit a key or swipe the mouse to wake it up, I just get a black screen with a notice that says...

Going there on business in March. Would like any travel tips, dos and dont's, etc., you have to offer.

The Danny Manning hire may turn out to be good. Or not. Based on this season, we just don't know. What we do know is that this pathetic season (a tournament loss to the worst team in the league, 2 of the worst losses in history, complete collapse over the past month) is not on Danny Manning...

While Ron Wellman swans around on TV playing the role of Big Shot NCAA Guy, the flagship athletic program of his employer -- one that has paid him millions of dollars -- is a national embarrassment. Today Jeff [Redacted] is quoted in the local paper clearly implying he is coming back, despite his...

Think this is coincidence? Wichita's path to the Title goes through: Kentucky Louisville Michigan (or Duke) Arizona Florida

It takes a big person to admit a mistake. It takes an even bigger person to apologize for the mistake. Ron Wellman's hiring of [Redacted] was not just a mistake. It was an inexcusable mistake. If Ron Wellman had hired a formerly successful big-time coach who just could not recapture the...

I am in the market for a tablet computer. I don't like the iPad or other touchscreen tablets because I can't type on a touchpad, I need a real built-in keyboard. Any one have any preferences? I have used a Dell Netbook at work and like it a lot, but my biggest complaint is the battery life...

Tennessee canned Derek Dooley today after only three seasons. And it takes a heckuva longer to build a winning football program than a basketball program (see, e.g., Mark Gottfried). Jes' sayin'.

This topic might have been touched on briefly in the long "ND to ACC" thread, but I think it deserves its own thread (and if it's a Haas as a separate thread, mea culpa). How do people see the effect of the ND move to the ACC affecting our b'ball and f'ball recruiting, if at all? I see it as a...

Sometimes my Windows 7 gets incredibly slow at basic functions, like logging on or off an account (I have set up two accounts on our home PC, one for my wife and one for me). Sometimes I hit "log on" or "off" and literally nothing happens and the screen just goes dark and I cannot even shut...

Anyone know status? I would think that the renegotiation of the ACC TV contract would provide the increased $$$ and certainty that Wake needs to go ahead and buy it.

I am one of those weird neanderthals who does not spend 24/7 on this board or the internet in general, since I have some minor inconveniences to deal with, like a job and a family. So when I log on and see all these incendiary and hysterical sounding thread titles with 100 pages of cryptic...

I haven't been to Winston for a couple of years. What are the best restaurants in Winston right now? In terms of a nice dinner in conjunction with law school graduation that would need reservations ASAP. Thanks!

Mooney always puts a very, very well-coached team on the floor. And he does not put up with any crap off the court. He recruits well to his system. And he's relatively young. The sad thing is that he probably would not see the Wake job as a step up anymore.

This story in the Boston Globe is referenced in another thread but deserves its own thread. In this story, the Boston College AD openly admits that BC blackballed UCONN even when UCONN was the first choice of most ACC schools. I find this remarkable not only because of BC's cut-throat tactic...
