Press Conference: 6 PM on Tuesday, 6:30 "Mann The Quad"

[Spragoo]

D Mann did a great job, though. Just from one presser you can tell he can relate to people and recruit so much better than the last guy.

 

[deaclite]

He had me when he said Teachey was his favorite Wake player. He knows what he is talking about!

 

[Ayo]

That Teachey reference was strictly to appease the OWG camp.

All the Tacy mentions should make Manning BKF's third favorite behind BK and Tacy.

Coach Tacy was a well-respected strategist and successful coach and it's great that Coach Manning recognized him that way, as part of the long arc of Wake Forest basketball success.

 

[deaclite]

He's one of us, kind of. Well played Coach Manning!

 

[buckets]

does ron have twitter?

Teachey had A LOT of double doubles. Rock solid player.

Coach Tacy shoutout #BKFboner

 

[P4nthers11]

God. Fuck wakes incompetence. Get him a mic that works.

 

[RJKarl]

Multiple Tacy shoutouts.

 

[Ayo]

Lol, this is a train wreck.

 

[Deaconblue]

Very likeable guy. You could tell the press conference isn't his element but he's a good dude, very easy to support, etc.

I'm OK with that. Press conference was more than just OK. That is good enough. I want his element to be convincing high school players to go to Wake, teaching the players how to play better, and game management.

 

[ipitytheblue]

this is one of the more awkward things for which I've ever been present.

 

[IAppreciateIt]

whats going on?

 

[Dino Gaudino]

It looks like they set up for a little kid's birthday party on the quad.

Manning probably saw him play at Wake when he was in high school.

It looks like they set up for a little kid's birthday party on the quad.

It's like a cross between a petting zoo and the birthday party in Billy Madison.

 

[Biff Tannen]

[ToughLoveDeac]

Holy God the webcam feed right now is depressing. Is that an inflatable slide? Why is there an inflatable slide?

 

[wvudeac]

There's a harsh truth to face: no way any of our communications guys would make it on the outside. All I do anymore is think of ways that they could be better. Terrible thing, to live in fear of our sports marketing and communications department. Brooks Hatlen knew it. Knew it all too well. All I want is to be back where things make sense. Where I won't have to be afraid all the time.
