Just so hard to pull for wake.
Every game, every sport - close, but just when you get excited: lose in a million scoreless innings in college World Series, or lose that football game against Clemson two years ago, or suddenly the most popular player on the team literally disappears and doesn’t even sit on the bench, or you beat Duke but the story is a court storming “incident”, or you lose the last several games of just about every promising season.
Hard to do for several decades in a row across all major sports. Only other option is self-imposed dark ages/death penalty with Bz and Manning.
Just awful.
