The Deacs just go a a nice mention on ESPN's College Gameday. Desmond Howard and Lee Corso picked the Deacs and praised their performance so far this year, while Kirk Herbstreit and Chris "the Bear" Fallica picked State. But who cares about whether "experts" picked Wake or not. It's just nice to get mentioned in a positive way on Gameday, because how often has that happened over the last 5-6 years?
They did start by saying Wake will be wearing something (patch? Helmet sticker?) to honor Arnie. Corso also reversed his pick, FWIW. Maybe they win one for 'The King'.
