....fourth quarter comeback against UNC in 2001
I'm a bit biased but one of the best Deacon memories I had. Homecoming tour officially ended. Also Fabian was great but J mac was masterful. It may be a bit forgotten but I attribute those first 2 years of success under Grobe resp for the future success of the Deacs. The 2006 senior class often gets credited for the turn around of the Deac tradition but that class committed during the success of Grobes first 2 years 01 02. There I said it. Not as heralded but instrumental.
Our offensive line was masterful that day. It was made up of players recruited by Jim Caldwell, and Jim Grobe has often given Caldwell credit for bringing those players to Wake Forest. I saw many familiar names in Deacon uniforms last night.
As a Deacon fan I am disappointed that the FOX replay doesn't show our getting a safety when the ball went out the back of the end zone on a punt attempt; those 2 points made quite a difference in the final outcome.
I sat behind Tyson Clabo's parents for that game.
