Fire Bz Ad in Gboro N&R, Day 4 = HEADSHOT

Athletes have had it drilled into their heads their whole lives to keep their head down, be a good teammate, and keep shit in the locker room. No surprise at all that they don't like the ad. I agree that it's disgusting... it's disgusting that we as a fanbase had to resort to that kind of move to make our voice heard. If the Athletic Department hadn't been condescending and patronizing to us the last three years and told us that they know better than we do, then we wouldn't have had to do this.

Small nitpick. Why "since 2010" instead of "at Wake Forest"? People who don't know he's only been here 3 years may think it's cherry picking.

I would expect former players to be disgusted about the ad, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Agree w/ the nit, but I still think the message gets across loud and clear. He sucks
 
i was disgusted by LDs lack of improvement over four years

Very true. I was more disgusted we couldn't find a legit SG with height to put him on the bench. Imagine if we had CJ in those years.

I'm guessing VT is taking the safe route to avoid any issues around using the 'Wake Forest' name in the ad.
 
Sent Andy the day 2 ad this morning.

His response is that he's going to ask Wellman about the ad on Sunday when he sees him in Indy since he has not responded to it.

I think the paper said they couldn't use "Wake Forest" in the ad then VT said he didn't want to use "Wake" just in case.
 
"There's a great majority of the fans that we hear from that are very, very supportive. It's been reflected in attendance in our home games. They're behind these young men. These young men are committed to Wake Forest. They're committed to working hard. There is a very bright future -- the right way."

From USAToday article

Support for the young men =\= support for Bz.


And count me as another that is sick of hearing about how we're doing things "the right way" now.

I'm so fucking sick of Bzd using the players as a human shield to deflect criticism. "If you don't support me, you don't support the players"
 
It's just more human shields. [Redacted] wants to frame the issue that you're either with him or against the players. Of course, the reason we're all so upset is because of the way Wake is cheating its students by continuing to retain this joke of a coach.

Edited to say I didn't see BBD's post before I posted, didn't mean to steal his same point.
 
Not a unique technique. Very common in politics.

This is fucking ignorant. How many offensive threats did ld take completely out of the game? He wasn't a scoring specialist. Save it
