It's gonna be hung! CP3's jersey finally getting retired March 2

[Milhouse]

love CP, but what did he accomplish at wake that makes him one of our all timers?

 

[2&2 Slider To Leyritz]

If he is still here, hopefully Bzz will be standing beneath it on 3/2/15 when it falls from the ceiling.

And how sweet would it be if CP3 pulled something out of WWE by running onto the court, nupunching Bzz, and flexing for the crowd?

 

[Tin Cup]

This reminds me how wrong it is that our best football players, the 2 ACC championship teams and our bowl appearances are not recognized somewhere within BB&T Field.

 

[w84it]

What are you all going to say when he implores the crowd to get behind Coach [Redacted]?

Nobody's perfect

Agreed

 

[Ayo]

Hang Bzzz from the rafters.

 

[deacvision7]

Yeah ACC ROY is a bad filter, but First Team All-American and ACC ROY isn't.

Say whaaaaaa?

 

[seventwofour]

Granted the list below is a cumulative list of All America honors, but do you think we'll eventually see Jackie Murdock, Frank Johnson, Jeff Teague and AFA have their jersey's retired?

First team All-American, homie.

 

[vtwhat etc]

What are you all going to say when he implores the crowd to get behind Coach [Redacted]?

"So that's how Julius felt"

 

[Liquid Karma]

Say whaaaaaa?

Robert O'Kelley was ACC ROY.

 

[Ayo]

Love CP, but I think J-Gray is more deserving.

 

[TheIshThatSaved WakeForest]

Say whaaaaaa?

The combination of the two and not just ACC ROY alone.

 

[Milhouse]

Say whaaaaaa?

too confused by what kenpom is telling him to think

 

[mothersodear]

The way things have been going with RW's awful decision-making and Bzzz's awful coaching, CP3 may be our last player to be honored, so hang it.

Seriously, he's a great ambassador of Wake and a tremendous asset to the community. He deserves it. Plus, watching him for two seasons was pure joy. How I miss that.

 

[BobStackFan4Life]

Awesome!

 

[deacvision7]

The combination of the two and not just ACC ROY alone.

Ohhhhh, I just read it wrong. Cheers.


1st Team AA is enough on its own for me.

 

[qcdeac]

I'm probably in the minority, but I dont put much stock into ACC ROY as the other awards you mentioned. We've only had three in our history, Rodney, O'Kelley, and CP3. It appears the vast majority of our retirees were all americans, and that is the barometer for inclusion, but there are a few exceptions.

Where is this list from? I am not sure it is accurate unless you are counting 3rd teams, random magazines, etc.

Agreed. I don't understand why that's hard to grasp.

 

[PhilliesDeacs]

Ugh. It would be nice if having a diploma was a requirement for being honored in this way. Especially since Paul has done nothing to refute the common sentiment that he did everything by himself in his two years and had no help from the rest of the roster.

It's kind of obvious it's from Wikipedia.
