Can you hear that? It’s the sound of the #BUZZOUT movement, lost and misguided, stomping and splashing in the baby pool, needing your fearless leadership. The “Twitter account, the #BuzzOut hashtag, the radio show takeover, the ads in the Greensboro News & Record, the billboard, and best of all FireBz.com” that you referenced were all dandy, but no one has stepped up for the SUPER BOWL COMMERCIAL KICKSTARTER!
We need you, Mark. Be the leader that Winston-Salem may not deserve, but clearly needs.

I feel so bad for Wake Forest fans. The #BuzzOut movement was gaining traction, but then the Demon Deacons started out 10-3. If the last three seasons weren’t enough for Jeff [Redacted] to get fired, there’s no telling what a 103 non-conference record is going to do. If Wake Forest beats the Tar Heels on Sunday, Ron Wellman will probably do all he can to make [Redacted] governor of North Carolina. Wake Forest fans are caught in that weird place that Dallas Cowboys fans know all too well: You don’t know if you should cheer for your team to win, because then the coach will get credit and hold on to his job longer, or if you should root for them to nosedive so changes will have to be made. As it stands, [Redacted] appears to be good enough to keep his job but not good enough for Winston-Salem to have any kind of hope, and the #BuzzOut movement is losing steam.
The holiday season is a joyful time for so many of us, but as you celebrate with your loved ones, please remember that there are some people out there who aren’t as privileged as the rest. For them, the holidays are a cruel reminder that what they truly want is unattainable. So if it’s not too much to ask, please say a little prayer for these Wake Forest fans. Maybe even look up a random Winston-Salem address and send a card that says you’re thinking about them. Any little bit helps.
Speaking of basketball fans in North Carolina, let’s check in on how things are going over in Chapel Hill.
