What about those of us that came in just before the Fresh Deacs and saw the talent and potential and watched as Grobe coached up a group of overlooked athletes to a BCS game...and then saw it all crumble beneath him?
I, unlike most here, did not grow up a Wake fan, and didn't even bother caring about Wake Forest Football before I came in freshman year.
So compared to the attitude of being "perennial losers" that you bitch about, I pretty much only knew success....or the Wake Forest football program's version of it....
So in a way it hurts even more to see "my team" start at the top, and fall to a 2-10 season....I don't have the thought in the back of my head that we are "supposed" to be bad or near the bottom of the conference....I expect us to be in contention and win games that we have no business losing...
So when I say we are going to suck nuts this season, it isn't because I'm used to losing....it's in spite of being used to winning.
L at Syracuse
L vs. NC State
W vs. Gardner-Webb
W/L at Boston College (Toss Up)
L vs. Florida State (Blowout)
L vs. Virginia Tech (Blowout)
W/L at Duke (Toss Up)
L at North Carolina (Blowout)
L vs. Notre Dame (Blowout)
L at Clemson (Blowout)
W/L vs. Maryland (Toss Up)
W/L vs. Vanderbilt (Toss Up)
So I have us finishing anywhere from 1-11 to 5-7
I don't see ANY way we finish .500, but I will hope and pray that we do...I want nothing more than us to finish 14-0, but I just can't see us beating FSU/VT/ND/Clemson....and probably UNC/NCSU.
No idea how Edsall will be at UMD, or Franklin at Vandy, but have a feeling both will step in and exceed expectations
