@Les_Johns I banged my knee against the dresser last week. Unfortunately, I didn’t have anyone rushing to carry me out of the room so things were dicey for awhile. Happy to say I powered through and made it to work.

Coach Clawson is not only a fantastic coach he is truly a class individual. When he heard that my dad was close to passing away last October, he emailed me on a game day to see if he could speak to my dad to thank him for his many years of being a loyal Wake fan.

As much as I just want the ACC to cut FSU a deal and let them run, the best thing for the life of the conference is for them to fight FSU’s exit tooth and nail. If you make it easy on them, others will follow suit. The more painful it is for FSU to leave, the better.

Thank you, @ForbesWakeHoops , for bringing us back to a level where this environment is even possible. It was a long, exhausting decade before your arrival and it isn’t lost on most of us how you have turned things around. The fan base is back and building. #GoDeacs #BeatDuke

Paying Dad’s Deacon Club donation for this yr & changing it over to me was so painful this morning. Dad could never afford to give much but he loved to do it. The 40+ yrs of memories we shared together going to Wake football/bball games are priceless. Won’t be the same w/out him.

This season has been so disappointing. We have too many older players to stumble down the stretch like this. At 6-1, I thought we had one of best Wake teams ever. Now, I don’t even feel good about our chances to get to 7 wins. Love my Deacs, but this is rough.

My humble opinions after watching game: 1) Cam may be the hardest working player I’ve ever seen 2) Hunter is very dangerous even when not scoring. Hard to help off of him. 3) AC may be most underrated player in the ACC 4) Keller gave great mins.

Wake has one of the most loyal fan bases around. No bandwagon fans here. But I hope our AD doesn’t view our relative silence with Manning as contentment. That silence is APATHY after being beaten down again this season. Don’t expect the silence to last for another season though.
