And NC State’s Fanbase is just one percent bigger than ours. Sure.

What does shitty beer have to do with anything?

i'd take your opinion on produce more seriously if you weren't bringing fruit to a bbq

John Currie had this chart in his From The Quad and these numbers seem very sus to me.

Ditto. Read the email and was like where in the holy hell did those numbers come from.

 

[SC DEAC]

who cares? Just flood the zone with as much pro Wake propaganda as humanly possible. If we don't someone else will.

I had burnt ends, mac and cheese, and heirloom watermelon for lunch today. It was amazing.

Sucks that you're missing out.

You don't think Wake has almost 3,000,000 fans and 40% belong to a minority group? Not sus at all. Totally legit.

one percenters are a minority. It's right there in the name. Tier 1.

I think it's probably based on tv viewership in specific games but I mean...axis not suitably labeled lol. I still retweeted it. Wake = no. 9

 

[BeachBumDeac]

Seems like it’s based on YouGov surveys actually? Hard to tell

Wow UNC's out of state acceptance rate is only 8%. Wake's (overall) is 25%. We are indeed 3rd tier, at best.

Very few out of state kids are admitted there- like 5% of the student body. The in-state acceptance rate is higher than WF. Moreover, kids can easily transfer into UNC from community colleges in NC and transfer most of the credits.Not so at WF, which doesn’t lose many kids to flunking out or transfer and doesn’t accept a lot of community college transfers. I know tons of people who transferred to UNC who didn’t have a snowballs chance in hell to be admitted out of high school.

Agreed. No way to 2.5M people care about BC or Pitt.

BC is at a low point. I won't deny that. Terrible coaching hires. But Wall Street Journal's "College Football Value Rankings" from 2019 had BC ranked ahead of Wake, albeit barely. Only P5 schools (at the time) supposedly behind us were Duke, Rutgers and West Virginia.

Any realistic fan of either school knows what our future holds. Wake and BC will go down with the ship. We, along with Duke, may be the only ones not picked up by B12, B1G, or SEC. Yes, I could see Syracuse, Pitt, GT, and Louisville all being picked up before us.

I bet nobody asks Ben Sutton what his GPA was at Wake nor what tier his Wake Forest law degree was?

He got into law school. Not sure he attended much. But yeah, he has done pretty well with no law license. He’s one of those WF losers who have made so many bad decisions on WF athletics DR talks about. He and Bob Mcreary.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

I do agree Wake, Pitt, BC, and Cuse are all in the same boat. Duke MAY have a slight leg up with basketball but I'm not sure basketball really means anything at this point.

Yeah but the only YouGov info I could find shows Wake has pretty low popularity.

VT has some very hot girls. And so does App St. Always has.

Every school has hot girls if you only look at the hot girls.

 

[IamThunderbolt]

Oldest kid is looking/taking tours at App and NCST this fall. Really hoping the NCGA holds off destroying the state school system and making the state uninhabitable just a little longer.

Sucks that you're missing out.

i note that the fruit was the LAST side you mentioned....

My sister accepted the Moorehead scholarship then got into Princeton and gave it back. The UNC people were not happy.

 

[JuiceCrewAllStar]

unless Princeton gave her a full ride that’s p crazy

Morehead comes with a ton of perks beyond just tuition, as I recall
