It seems a common refrain is “Wake can’t afford to pay Manning’s buyout” or “Wake won’t fire Manning because his buyout is too much.” It seems this misses one key point: Wake loses money by keeping him. Per Connor’s recent article, average attendance this season was going to finish around...

So it's pretty clear that Danny Manning is just a horrible college basketball coach. And at this point he has to know that, right? So what are the chances that he gets embarrassed enough - or at least shows enough self awareness - to negotiate some sort of exit? Maybe not during the middle of...

Just to see how the fanbase stands:

http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25682806/the-billionaire-bold-move-houston-dana-holgorsen-hire The interesting part: That task came with immediate pressure, as Houston president and chancellor Renu Khator said at a holiday party, shortly after Applewhite's hiring, that "winning...

I'm at the point where if the administration doesn't care about basketball at Wake then I don't either. It's as if Wake basketball really doesn't exist anymore. If they are on TV, I may record it, and if by some miracle they actually have a good game - watch it later; but I have no desire to...

This is not the official Kenpom thread. This is pointing out that this should be Manning's last game. It's on December 6 and they don't play Davidson until December 17. Seems like the perfect time to put the Manning era out of its misery and let an interim coach (Nestor?) try and salvage at...

All right, so Wellman HAS to know that he has totally killed that Wake b-ball program. I know people have claimed that he thinks he is the "smartest guy in the room", but it's a 100% fact that we have been terrible in all but one season since he got rid of Gaudio. Our records show that, and...

You are pathetic.

Here are the points that we have allowed in the second half of our ACC losses: ND 52 Duke 53 Syracuse 52 UNC 44 UVa 51 Clemson 42 FSU 49 Hard to pull out close games when you can't stop the other team. It also becomes harder to score when the other team is able to consistently set up a press...

BC is 24-58 in ACC play since firing Skinner. I assume their culture is better though?

We gave up 28 freaking points in the last 5 minutes. Just let that sink in. That puts them on pace for 224 points over 40 minutes. That defense down the stretch was just atrocious. Once again our complete inability to stop dribble penetration is just a killer for this team. UVa probably...

I'm not saying that he won't be gone, and hopefully this turns out to be completely hypothetical - but how long will you wait for the news that Bzz is gone before assuming that it is not going to happen and start losing it? For me, I would say that if nothing is official by the end of day on...

Crushed on the boards Less than 50% on FTs Non-existent transition defense Questionable shot selection Little to no intensity/enthusiasm from at least half of the team All in all it leads to yet another blowout on the road. Could there have been a more fitting way to close out Bzz's regular...

Every time you open this board, you immediately look to see if there is a thread saying that Bzz has quit, been fired, kidnapped, spontaneously combusted, or any other thing that means his days of destroying Wake basketball have officially come to an end. Yeah, there is a 99% chance that we are...

Granted, I haven't seen every minute of every game, but I honesty cannot remember us taking one single charge this season. I've seen plenty of opponents blow by our on-ball defenders or go straight to the rim in transition. And I have seen plenty of "help" defenders either stand by as they...

Yeah, yeah - obviously highly unlikely, but it may technically be possible. They are 6th in the BCS standings, and at least 2 of the teams in front of them (2 out of Bama, Auburn, and Mizzu) are guaranteed to lose. If somehow, OSU and FSU were to lose as well, it looks like they would be in...

Northwestern, Baylor, Stanford, Vandy, etc. Teams that play with creativity, intelligence, fundamentals, and passion. I vaguely remember those days...

Great job with all of that work getting us back to being a running team. That 1.5 yd per attempt is stellar. And our short yardage/redzone execution is just spectacular. Closing those practices and scrimmages was just brilliant. Can't wait until after the season to hear what we should have...

So I looked this up last night. We have had 8 ACC games this year decided by 10 points or less this season. We won 3 and lost 5. And in those games, we have been out-scored in the final 5 minutes in 8 of them. Yep, that would be every single one of them. I dare say the end of games is when...

http://www.wakeforestsports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/020399aaa.html February 3, 1999 WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Ten high school prospects, including one of the nation's premier quarterbacks, have officially accepted football scholarships to Wake Forest by signing a national letter-of-intent...
