I miss living and dying on wake football games.
I cannot remember the last time I cheered for Wake Forest. I've laughed at the ineptitude, sure...but cheer for them? No clue.
when did this living and dying on wake football games happen? Did 2-3 years of success amidst 100 years of futility really have us caring about football?
It took me a while, but I've had it as well. That shit souffle that was Saturday's game finally did me in. Trust me, I was at Wake in the early 70's and saw enough bad football to last a lifetime.
The current scenario is different, and to a significant degree, worse. I simply do not feel that I'm a part of Wake Forest Athletics anymore. Everyone knows that football and basketball are in the shitter, except the people in charge. Wellman is an arrogant fool, who refuses to listen to the fan base. Bzzz is just a fuckin' loser, and a supreme dickhead as well. And I think Grobe's time has come and gone. I didn't see any energy in that football team on Saturday...that is coaching.
As much as I hate to say this, I also don't feel like this is the Wake Forest University that I once loved. It's probably just my feeling, but Hatch is aloof and trying to make us into a school that we endeavoured NOT to be. Writing these words truly makes me sad.
I sent the following email to Ron Wellman:
Dear Mr. Wellman,
Really?
Sincerely,
A Former Supporter of WFU Athletics
And with that, I have quit WFU athletics. I cannot and will not support Ron Wellman and his stupidity. I will always support the student athletes 100%, but I refuse to care about an athletic department that does not care about the players representing MSD or the students, alumni and fans who show up, spend $$$$, and waste hours watching a shit show on the football field or basketball court.
We have good athletes. We have incompetent leaders.
I will be back when someone decides enough it enough and cleans house. Until then, I will not spend another dime on WFU athletics.
Heck, even 2 years before Grobe we had the Aloha Bowl season.
Are you a fan of Wake Forest? Are you an alumni? If you are either I don't understand how or why you would stop cheering for the teams.
I don't tie my moods to the ups and downs of the teams like I used to, I am disgusted by the coaches in charge right now, I don't plan my schedule around Wake games like I used to.... all understandable. But, if they are on TV and I am watching, or if I do attend a game, I am certainly cheering hard for them to win.
