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...

This may have been discusses within the various game threads but I thought I'd try to isolate the issue. As others have noted, Wake has given up 3 long touchdown runs by QBs in the 4th qtr of the last two games (can't remember if there were long yardage plays in FSU, Clemson which didn't make...

Help me out on this one... This whole notion of taking a knee during the playing of the National Anthem was a protest about police shootings of black men... In Dallas, five officers were murdered by a gunman and the Cowboys unsuccessfully tried to get a tribute sticker approved for their...

There was an article about how funny the unexpected speaker, Bill Cinton, was at the Alex Baldwin roast. They could be right but for the wrong reason. Clinton is quoted as saying "I wouldn't know an alternative fact if it hit me in the face" Really? This from the same man who famously...

I could not watch a Wake basketball game last year without thinking of how much John Collins and Austin Arians reminded me of some notable actors. I could not help but think about Animal House and Amadeus star Tom Hulce everytime they would show a close up of Arians... Nor could I help but...

surprising at this time of year, but OSU fired Matta today. Who will be their Dino? MODS Please Delete...overlooked Coaching Carousel thread

Surprised there isn't a thread about the latest incarnation of 24. It use to be discussed after every episode. Still remember someone mapping out Jack's movements around LA and how many days/weeks it would take. Just curious of reaction to it if anyone is watching (or if I overlooked an...

Has Wake ever had a Parade All-American commit? 6'3", 190 lbs. WR from Lincolnton, NC (brother a QB at UNC). Originally, appears he committed to Harvard but signed with Wake. Plus, this guy lights it up on the basketball court. Has scored 50 in a couple of games in the same week...

This year seems to be the perfect storm for the definitive four team playoff system to be as marred as anything else... just curious of some of the opinions of this group. Let me lay out a few questions to start the discussion (assuming it has not already been beat to death on a thread I've over...

There was an online interview with Carly Simon (songs like You're So Vain years ago) about several topics but a lot of it was about her friendship with the Clintons. She has sang at many of their birthday parties. One of the interview questions and her response: Did Hillary Clinton ever ask you...

On my recent trips back to Winston Salem, I was very surprised by the lack of a bar and restaurant scene near campus. In my day, many years ago, there was TOG and Pizza Garden, to name two spots, near the basketball and football facilities which were popular student destinations. When I was last...

I made a comment on the FSU chances thread of where I thought Wake ranked within the ACC - I think we are either one or two among the second tier teams, which is a major and welcomed improvement. Curious of how others see us. Here is my power rankings: Clemson Louisville FSU Miami VA Tech UNC...

My favorite keyboardist has passed away. I can still remember the first time hearing the end of Lucky Man and instantly falling in love with the sound of the Moog. As most of my suitemates at Wake liked beach music, I was a bit critized for my music choices. My high school girlfriend had a...

I was intrigued by the discussion of the Miami coach about the number of FT's the Deacons averaged per game (something like 28 was his stat). So, I decided to look at the correlation of the FT difference to the outcome of Wake's ACC games: Louisville, -7 from the FT, Wake L by 8 Duke, -13 from...

I have been watching and living and dying by Wake Forest basketball since Skip Brown and Rodney Griffin were our stars... For as long as I have followed Wake, the first five minutes of the 2nd half never seem to be kind to the Deacons. Big leads vanish, close games become e blow outs. We have...

As I have watched the early season games, one thing I sense is the team chemistry seems to be much greater than it has been in a long time. We have a lot of players stepping up like Hudson and we are seeing some good play by the freshmen... So, where does Cody fit back into the picture...

The latest Wake advertisement was in heavy rotation during the ESPN3 broadcast of the football game last night. While I typically do not like commercials with rapid fire photos, I know I did not like the main tag line before the You Will, We Will, Wake Will slogan. GOOD WEARS BLACK What is...

My car just hit one of those milestone mileages... I can remember as a kid, the big deal it was to watch the old analog mileage indicators roll all of those zeros... a collective cheer would be voiced and inevitably someone in the car looked away at the critical moment! Somehow, the same...

No knock intended, but just curious... I've always heard that the best coaches are those who aren't necessarily stars when they play as they learn the game from sitting on the bench near the coaches while the stars focus on improving their individual skills. I remember Bill Russell was a...

Maybe seeing Bobby Lutz name attached to App St made me think about this. Seem to recall he was a hot commodity at one point. Who were the hot names this board wanted before the Buzz hire and how have they done since then? The secondary question is what makes a great coach great? Ability to...
