I live in NORTH CAROLINA. There's no legit reason the Reds should be blacked out here.
It's like you don't want fans of your product.
BREAKING: Wake Forest guard Tyree Appleby has signed an NIL deal with Applebee's. Details on how this came about, how he included his teammates and an outtake from the commercial shoot here:
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson: "Thanks to NC State for giving us 100 tickets. That was a classy thing to do. Our players appreciate that their parents were able to watch them."
BREAKING: Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman has been cleared to play and will start Saturday at Vanderbilt.
Has been out indefinitely with a medical condition since Aug. 10.
More details to come throughout the afternoon.
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson reiterated that Sam Hartman will be back this season. He had a medical procedure last night.
Clawson said Mitch Griffis is QB1.
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson: "I’m sure when all of our 35-year old, 15th-year players graduate next year we’ll come crashing back to earth like everyone says we will."
Wake Forest coach Tom Walter: “I’m so proud of our guys, the way we battled today and all season. I’d rather coach this team and not win a national championship than coach any other team.”
Wake Forest Basketball coach Steve Forbes posted this update about his wife Johnetta earlier this afternoon on Facebook.
Please keep Johnetta and the entire Forbes family in your thoughts and prayers in the coming days and weeks.
Florida State was a combined 26-33 and without a winning season in the ACC between 2017-21.
I don't think the latest media rights deals for the Big 10 and SEC were their biggest issue.
Wake Forest has done it!
The Deacs have defeated LSU 3-2 and will move on to the Bracket 2 finals. Wake Forest will play either LSU or Tennessee Wednesday night.
One win away from the College World Series Finals!!!
Continues to be patently absurd that the ACC was getting just four NCAA Tournament bids had VT not won the ACC Tourney.
Nine Big Ten teams? How'd that work out?
Four Mountain West teams? Yeah, right.
Wake Forest sophomore guard Jahcobi Neath announced on Instagram Live tonight that he's going to return for the Demon Deacons.
Sources say he informed the staff of his decision earlier today.
Big news for the Deacs!
BREAKING: Gonzaga transfer center Efton Reid has committed to Wake Forest.
Yet another former ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ player from the 2021 class coming to join coach Steve Forbes & the Demon Deacons, who have once again won big in the Transfer Portal in this cycle.
Clawson said he aplogized to NC State coach Dave Doeren about a couple plays that happened late in the game. Said they weren't legit football, aren't typical for his program and he was embarassed by it. Said it was addressed with the team and the player involved Sunday.
Kudos to Rutgers for stepping in and taking the challenge of playing the Gator Bowl on just 8-9 days notice, and actually giving Wake Forest fits at times in the first half. Think good days are ahead for that program.
BREAKING: The No. 1 rated 2021 prospect from the UK, guard Cameron Hildreth, has just committed to Wake Forest, choosing the Deacs over offers from Arkansas, Xavier, Utah and Georgia Tech.
Update on student tickets from Wake Forest: While tournament rules require admission to be charged for all attendees, including students, the first 1,000 students will receive free tickets courtesy of a donation from Head Coach Steve Forbes and wife Johnetta 1/2
Mitch Griffis on Sam Hartman this morning: "This will be his team. This will be his team this year. My job is when he is ready to give him the keys back ready for us to play in Charlotte. I just want to help the team be ready to play in Charlotte. That's our end-goal."
Clawson: "You certainly hope that the ACC will make the right decision. If they don't, we will. We're not going to travel down there and put anyone at risk."
BREAKING: Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson has announced Jamie Newman as the starting quarterback when the Deacs open the season Aug. 30 against Utah State.
Considering the quality of opponent and the way the game played out, that's easily one of the most impressive wins of the Dave Clawson Era at Wake Forest.
First time in history for Wake Forest Men's and Women's Golf to win ACC Championships in the same season — also the first time for any ACC program.
Amazing couple weeks of golf for the Demon Deacons, with more to come!
Wake Forest coach gives credit to the walk ons (Miles Lester, Grant Van Beveren, RJ Kennah, Anthony Mathis and Kevin Dunn) for helping the team prepare for the VMI offense this week.
I'm not saying Wake Forest didn't leave some meat on the bone and that they didn't blow some opportunities late this season.
But their conference record this season (and in 2022) would have put them in the NCAA Tournament any other time the last 20-30 years.
BREAKING: Four-star Oklahoma SG Parker Friedrichsen has just committed to Wake Forest.
MASSIVE get for Steve Forbes and his staff!
Friedrichsen breaks it all down for us here:
BREAKING: Wake Forest guard Daivien Williamson announces his return to the Demon Deacons.
The newly-minted Wake Forest graduate averaged 11.8 points a contest last season for the Deacs while shooting 39.5% behind the arc.
Great news for Deacon Nation!
Wake Forest checks in at No. 12 in this week's College Football Playoff rankings. Saturday's opponent, NC State is No. 16.
Just a MASSIVE game Saturday night.
If the seven seed is pushing the one seed (and likely winning), maybe it really wasn’t just “Duke and then everyone else.”
Maybe this is a quality league worthy of six NCAA Tournament bids.
Although Wake Forest pitching coach Corey Muscara was a top candidate for the Penn State head coaching position, a source says that he is staying with coach Tom Walter and the Demon Deacons.
Dave Clawson said that Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman has told him that he is playing in the Gasparilla Bowl.
"Sam has been nothing but a stand-up person for us and done everything right. He's deserves any offers he might get."
BREAKING: Gonzaga transfer guard Hunter Sallis has committed to Wake Forest.
Sallis was a 5-star 2021 prospect & the No. 10 overall rated player in that class. Just a MASSIVE get for Steve Forbes and the Demon Deacon staff in the transfer portal!
THE DEACS WIN!!!
A 4-3 double play ends this, as Wake Forest comes away with a come from behind 3-2 victory to advance in the winner's bracket of the College World Series.
Deacs will face the winner of LSU-Tennessee at 7pm Monday.
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson: "This was the biggest student crowd in Wake Forest history, and that made a difference. To all of Deacon Nation, it felt like we had a home field advantage tonight, and it makes a difference."
In just a few hours, Wake Forest Baseball will likely be ranked No. 1 in the nation for the 1st time in program history.
I don't think their goal was to be No. 1 on May 8. They want to be regarded as the best on June 26, as the College World Series concludes. Long way to go.
Wake Forest wing Ismael Massoud has told the staff that he WILL return for his sophomore season for the Demon Deacons. He averaged 4.8 points a 2.0 rebounds last season, shooting 39.8% behind the arc.
Big news for new coach Steve Forbes and his staff.
Wake Forest announces that tonight's basketball game vs Pitt will take place as scheduled at Joel Coliseum, plus "Complimentary tickets for Wednesday’s game will be provided to families and individuals who have relocated to the evacuation center at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds."
Update on Johnetta Forbes from Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes earlier this evening on Facebook.
Some progress, but still a long way to go. Keep your thoughts and prayers coming for the entire Forbes family!
BREAKING: 4-star 2022 forward Zach Keller has committed to Wake Forest.
Keller: "The elite academics at Wake Forest really stood out, and in the end, after taking all of my visits, Wake Forest was the school that felt right for me."
Story & highlights:
Wake Forest Basketball is about to be in sole possession of third place in the ACC at 9-4. Seven regular season games remain, four of which are at Joel Coliseum.
Who saw this coming?
Clawson on Hartman: "He doesn't get the credit he deserves. He went into the season as the 5th best quarterback in the ACC by some people. It's disresectful."
Wake Forest defeats Miami 86-82 in overtime to move to 3-0 in the ACC. Just a MASSIVE win for the Deacs. Boopie Miller leads with 27 points. Efton Reid with 10 boards, and Hunter Sallis scores 18, including the clutch corner 3 in the waning seconds.
Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes: "I don't know how Bracketology works. I stay in my lane. I leave it to the experts. Joel Lunardi at ESPN, he's an expert. He's carved out a great career doing it and so good for him.
🧵
Wake Forest has signed basketball coach Steve Forbes to a long-term extension. We broke this five days ago on Demon Deacon Digest, and it's being offically reported now by

HUGE news for the Demon Deacons!
Wake Forest QB Sam Hartman: “It used to be said you went to Wake Forest because you were smart, now it’s because you’re good at Football but also smart.”
