Yeah, c'mon - it's over. Unmitigated greed has torn off her mask and now CFB will become an "NFL" of a few select schools. 5 years, absolute tops. So, let's enjoy the sunset of our involvement in the ACC, and perhaps wave bye-bye to Florida St and Miami as ACC foes. Our grandchildren will...

I see US Soccer and Premier League threads, but not others after a casual glance at the first page. So, I'll semi-reluctantly start one as a catch-all for everything else. Anyhoo, today is Lazio - Roma, which is the first international match I ever attended. I will attempt to recreate the...

Tuna fish salad (made with Miracle Whip) sandwich on white, with an apple and - if we're talking optimal - Cheetos (fluffy kind). Problem was, my Mom would often put the sandwich at the bottom of the bag, where it would get all squishy and soggy and disgusting. My friends would all look on in...

Do White Law Enforcement Officers Target Minority Suspects? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/puar.12956?fbclid=IwAR0O8Fw7Vig7e_2XiLdAUPTkSgItJfio4fPghg7Pp5lg-rmNPlLaWEfOW0A The Myth of Systemic Police Racism https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-myth-of-systemic-police-racism-11591119883

So, a slow Sunday afternoon here, and I am on YouTube watching a 1989 football game between Wake and Carolina. And I'm hootin' and hollerin', clappin' and cursin' just as if the game was being broadcast live. Screw it - if being Deacon Crazy is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Also, Ricky...

Second consecutive series starring a WFU QB. Sam Hartman and Tayvon Bowers are really guys we can cheer for. Go Wake!!!

Saw a PL thread, MLS thread, etc., but I think there is room for this. Monaco. Man City. If more games were like THIS, soccer would become major in the U.S.. Whuddagame!

December 2003. Wake beats UNC in triple OT at Chapel Hill. The victory takes Skip Prosser to 5-0 vs Carolina. Sigh. The way it used to be, eh?

I know no shame. If any of you fine, wonderful folks have any pre-1980 NCAA basketball (maybe football) yearbooks/game-day programs, and are willing to sell them for a reasonable price, please send me a message. Yes, this will likely be the strangest request you see all day.

I was thinking today of how much I miss a girl whispering in my ear all the things she's gonna do to me later that night. Usually it involves the police and a restraining order, granted, but still ... it was nice.

I did. OK. Great. But at 2.3%, it was lower than expected coming off a year where, again, I said "Yes" to every report request that came to my way, and basically busted my ass to make everyone happy. According to NBCNews, the average salary rate increase is projected to be 3%. So, am I to...

Mir didn't even seem to try - he just let Cormier shove him up against the cage and then he didn't scrap to escape. Mid-ring, he looked slow, lazy and maybe even afraid to cut loose. #retire Good decision in the Henderson-Melendez bout, I had Melendez taking the 1st two rounds, but he faded...

Don't care about the genre. I like too many to bother listing. Just feed me. Hopefully I'll end up with some good previously-unconsidered material to check out ...

Rowr! Jeezus, put as few as 3 dames in an office, and it's guaranteed the fur will fly. And God forbid you make friends with one or more of them - they WILL involve you in their battles, no matter how much you duck 'n weave. What's with them? My first job - a stockbroker - we had an office...

Seriously. I'm pretty much Bzz-Out, mostly based on the depressing atmosphere at Joel. When friends/family come into Winston from out-of-town, I can't entertain them with a Wake game because, frankly, it's not entertaining anymore. Buuuuuuut ... if he shocks the world and guides us to, say, a...

It's late at night. That fine young thang sitting across from you looks into your eyes. You KNOW you're one song away from making it to the Promised Land. What do you go with? No, not 'I Did It All for the Nookie.' At Chez booradley, it's Smokey Robinson's 'Ooh Baby Baby.' Disagree? Post...

So, OK. I attended WFU during the Timmy Duncan days. I made every home game during CP3's reign. When UNC came into town during those eras, they would start screaming "Go Heels!" before the National Anthem was over. Because they were SCARED, man. They were scared. Those games, plus the Duke...

I'm toying with the following Personal Challenge - throw myself into my job 100% for one year and see what dividends it reaps. Don't get me wrong, I do a good job now, but I definitely pursue "life balance." What if I didn't? If I went absolute balls-to-the-walls, I'd have a major impact on my...

Quote 1: "FSU plays a real team finally - Wake Forest. Their coach is actually good so this game makes me nervous, since we've played a couple of HS freshman teams as warm-ups." Quote 2: "How has someone not thrown like $4 million at Grobe? The man is a sorcerer." Courtesy of...
