Some people really thought we were gonna win 7 or 8 games in football last year.
Some people also really thought the world was flat. They never run out of dummies at the dummy store.

Manning. Simply because when people hear "Today, WFU basketball..." they tune out. Wellman has conditioned us to ignore WFU basketball as a psychological defense against rage-induced insanity. Sure, people got irritated at Grobe the last few years, but that irritation never really turned to rage. Plus, based on early indications, Clawson and staff are much better at creating excitement.
I think it's way early to make that assertion.....I think even Wake's blind, deaf and crippled PR department will put on some decent hype for basketball. But it's just not time yet.
Maybe, but as I mentioned on another thread, I feel a lot more excited about our football prospects (as mediocre as they may be) than our basketball prospects. This will change if Manning signs a few top players. But everything that's happened since Manning took over has bored me to tears. That sounds bleak, but boredom is a lot better than Buzz-induced rage.
Manning is not as charismatic as Clawson. Of course he isn't the nuclear asshat that Buzz was either. Wake's PR/Athletic Department will have to lead the charge on hype.
Hype is bullshit. Manning has two jobs: coach well and recruit well. If we win and get some recruits in, people will get hyped. As long as he is neutral in public appearances and is winning, no one will care. Boeheim, K - these guys aren't focused on hyping their programs. They just win.
