You can’t change the past, I don’t care if he burns his diploma and shits on the steps of Wait Chapel.
FWIW, the offensive point totals against the common opponents was essentially identical:
WF scored 167
ND scored 166
ND surrendered 70 points in those game
WF surrendered 137 against those same opponents.
It’s one thing to say you are not going to root for Notre dame. It’s another thing to say Sam is ruining his legacy and won’t be a wake forest legend anymore. That’s some dumb shit.I don’t understand how hard it is for those who keep yelling at everyone about how great Sam is to see that no one is begrudging him for his decision. Again, he can do what he wants. So can other people and if people don’t want to start rooting for Notre Dame then that’s fine. We are WF fans and alums and we root for WF. Not Notre Dame.
Actually I am pretty sure Bones played against us, and he’s one of The True Wake Forest Legends. I know what you mean, though. We need to get over it.Sam can go take the bag, he should go take the bag. He is choosing to take that bag (there are others available, be sure of that) on a team that plays wake. No true wake forest legend can ever play against Wake. He did great things, but he can't go down as one of our all time greats, he's an opponent. Kick his fucking ass.

I don’t think that’s the case in this situation. I think it is purely about the NIL cash.I love WFU. I like Hartman. I don't like Notre Dame.
I don't want Wake players leaving Wake to play for other programs that are perceived to be better. But my frustration here lies more with the perception of Wake than anything else. Perhaps we have earned that perception, so I hope we continue to improve so that players want to leave other schools to play for Wake, not vice versa.
I can almost guarantee that there was NIL money available to Sam at Wake if he (and the coaches) wanted to stay.I don’t think that’s the case in this situation. I think it is purely about the NIL cash.

There's a belief among the scouts that playing in a pro-style system would benefit Hartman's NFL projection after playing in Wake Forest's successful but unconventional slow mesh system.
Like I said, if it turns out we were anywhere close to his notre Dame nil offer than I’d be a lot more upset with the situation. But I doubt that’s the case. And I think everyone was pretty much in agreement that nil cash should be spent elsewhere anyway.I can almost guarantee that there was NIL money available to Sam at Wake if he (and the coaches) wanted to stay.
If so, I hope RTQ (or someone) comes out and says it. Hell, all these NIL numbers are made up. Someone can say whatever they want.Like I said, if it turns out we were anywhere close to his notre Dame nil offer than I’d be a lot more upset with the situation. But I doubt that’s the case.

Basketball is a lot worse than football. Much worse. WF develops football players and has about 5% transfer turnover. Basketball, on the other hand…Guys, none of it really matters. College athletics - especially college football - is so screwed up now that you are approving/disapproving of something that is so completely messed up that it renders it all worthless. Just go to a game, tailgate and have a good time tailgating. Then go in and sit down and clap some and leave. Pull for your team but know that they (whoever happens to be on the field that season) didn't win or lose the way you're used to it happening. It's completely unrecognizable. Go home, grill a steak and drink a beer, and hit the sack.
