    Sam Hartman

    What a great young man. Not that he needs our advice but what would you do if you were him? 1) Reverse course where you are and rewrite ACC passing record books 2) Go pro and try your luck now 3) Go start at Stanford or some other better school and lose a bunch next fall. 4) Go start at a...

    Who will pay Wake Forest's players?

    It's not going to be athletic programs. It's up to the alums and boosters to make this happen. As the story out of Miami demonstrates, players can literally get paid for posting our corporate images on their social media feeds. The results will be obvious. Up will go Alabama -- an alum (or...

    Arnold Palmer & Buddy Worsham

    I read with great interest this month’s Wake Forest magazine about homecoming 1950. The one where Wake Forest chose to have the “Homecoming Dance” 20 miles away in Durham. Bud Worsham, of course, died that night as a result. Arnie was famously and luckily tucked safely in bed after the big day...

    John Hendricks going in WF Hall of Fame in 2020

    Well deserved as he pretty much rewrote our pitching record books. He carried the Deacs on his back to a couple ACC titles as well back in the late 1990s Still our career leader in innings, wins, & strikeouts. The HOF should be about performance DURING college not in the pros. Glad we...

    Ron Wellman & the Ticket Trade

    Ron for decades has fought the 3rd party ticket market. For awhile, he had backers. Now he is the only AD in the country to not allow game time digital scanning direct from phone off third party apps and also not allow ordinary flips on property. It has been over a decade since NC Supreme...

    High Point U commits to basketball

    After hiring Tubby Smith, High Point has committed 120 million to a new on campus arena that seats only 4500 people. The school is 165 Million in debt. It thinks it is worth the investment even though HPU is in the lowly Big South and has no real history of basketball success. HPU has used...

    Deacs in the Dean Dome on 12/30 still has no time

    I'm not exactly Mr. Team Player this decade but WTH? I mean I get being flexible in March. Actually, no I don't. Our program bragged about its deep run last March when we beat Boston College. So no one can question how impressive the win against BC was, let's go through our last decade in...

    We should hire John Currie as our next AD

    Tennessee's fan base is delusional. We should bring John Currie home. Many of us have been wanting it for years. Now is our chance. Wellman should do the right thing and retire at the end of the year and name Currie the next AD now before some smart institution scoops him up again.

    Pat Kelsey

    Huge weekend for Pat Kelsey. His Winthrop team is the one seed in the Big South. The 2 and 3 seeds already were upset. Decent favorite today against #4 Gardner-Webb. His team would be a huge favorite on Sunday in the finals. Pat has had Winthrop near the top of the league for a couple years...

    Codi Miller-McIntyre: A loyal and classy Demon Deacon

    Ok, so Codi can only shoot marginally better than most of us. He makes a few bad decisions with the basketball sometimes at crunch time. He's also hit a few game winners through the years. However, he has done what virtually no 18-22 year old could do. He has fought as hard as he can for...

    My case for hiring Steve Wojciechowski as the next Wake bball coach

    WF should hire Steve Wojciechowski as our next basketball coach & I believe he would take the job. Here’s why: 1) Private School experience. Wojo knows what it is like to operate in the environment of a small private school—something you hear so often these days as a key need for us. 2) ACC...

    Swapping Tickets @ WF's Joel Coliseum

    I spent over $3,000 in face value this year on 6 lower bowl season tickets. I have pushed, pulled and begged people to go to the games. My seats have largely been filled. The other night at the FSU game I stepped out of my car with 2 extra tickets to sell them for $10/each (another huge loss)...

    The size of our home basketball stadium

    Our home basketball stadium contains nearly twice the seats as it should for our fan base. This has long been the case and many of us have hashed through this for a couple decades now. It has long been argued that we fill it for every Duke and UNC Game -- a myth even during the 'glory days'...
