Agree with you Pilchard.....good recruiting is happening....hopefully it will show on the field...my heart is broken over last night. Hopefully Clawson's winning ways will spread to basketball and baseball.

Hatch is a big part of the problem at Wake. He has done little to help athletics. He could have done a lot. After all, he is the BOSS. More endowment monies could have helped more "needy" students attend Wake. We need a better representation there. It's time for him to take his paycheck...

Maybe we need a new and different goal line / short yardage offense. On that doesn't make handoffs 3 yards deep.

Is admissions helping or hurting our program ? I have heard that two really outstanding prospects were turned away for unusual reasons. Both were outstanding students and wanted very much to attend Wake and be part of the baseball program.

Carl Tacy and Dave Odom would have trouble in the ACC of today. Notre Dame, Pitt, Syracuse and Louisville. The old programs like FSU, GT, Virginia and Clemson now care about basketball. And remember the President of Wake Forest University during Dave and Carl's coaching days was not Nathan...

Chris Mack has too much sense to even consider the Wake job. He is much better off where he is. Many other coaches feel the same way. Wake has a president, board and administration that could care less about sports. Add to that a student body that knows nothing of "school spirit". (except...

Great review above. How about evaluation of the officiating ? Was not partial, was just very bad. Not close to ACC standards. Very,very weak. As for attendance, thanks to the 40 students who stayed to the end to support the team at the "Dear Ole Wake Forest". As for other...

Don't know what it's called. Financial aid or academic aid. All I know it is money for education. And it cuts the total cost of education for that athlete.

Very few full ride baseball scholarships. Total scholarships for baseball is something like 11.6 scholarships. That has to be split among approximately 25-30 players. Here's what happens. Top notch prospect is offered half a baseball scholarship at Wake, Vanderbilt, Duke, UNC and Virginia...

Not many people have the money to send their kids to Wake. A baseball scholarship in not a full scholarship. It is only a small part of the cost of Wake Forest. Vanderbilt is in the same situation. But most of their baseball players receive baseball and academic monies so that their cost of...

The President of "Our University" (Wake Forest) is very weak when it comes to supporting athletics. He has done more for Notre Dame (his previous employer) than for Wake (his present paycheck) . Look at the record. But the paychecks keep coming.

So very, very true Deaconblue. Only action from the top (Hatch) can unite athletics, academics and admissions to develop teamwork throughout the entire university. Certainly the lessons from athletics and the lessons from chemistry are equally important.

What has Nathan Hatch (ultimate man in charge of the entire university) done for athletics ? Please provide a listing.

Men's soccer is our best sport. Please don't let that too fall in the big hole. That team is competitive in a great league. Crowds come out and players play hard and actually win often.

Junior college players helped fill the roster in the Greer / Moranda years. Administration ended that quickly. Administration and academics will always rule at Wake. P.S. Dook is now doing what Stanford, Vandy and Virginia do in baseball. Administration and academics could care less about...

I have heard that Duke no longer has a foreign language requirement. Also have heard that some Duke students can take courses at N. C. Central. Am I correct ? Heard this from a very reliable source.

Wake's motto " pro humanitate" has changed in recent years. New motto is " More money". The academic and admissions people think very highly of themselves.

Virginia and Vandy both do what Wake could do with commitment to baseball. Each use academic money to create less financial costs for baseball players. I bet both Virginia and Vandy end up with nearly 20-25 full scholarships in baseball. Completely within the rules in minor sports. Thus is...

I had a similar experience with Hatch as Brangus did. The man loves Notre Dame and money. Not much of a listener. Wish he would publically come forth with support for Wake athletics. And wish he would actually do something to help like Vandy and Duke have done.

Sure would like to meet you bobknightfan. We are about the same age and I too watched the 1961 games on TV. Are you in the Winston area ? Would be great to get-together. You have much knowledge and wisdom.
