So what does that make Wake Forest?

Well we did have all of our spring athletic programs go onto the NCAA post-season. None of the other ACC schools could claim that. Also all of our big 3 sports (football, basketball, and baseball) went on to the NCAA post-season as well, which again none of the other ACC schools could claim.

Nobody outside of NC knows Wake Forest is even in this state.

I freakin wish there was a way to converse with the BC boards, but you gotta sign up for that shit.

if you have a free scout or rivals account you can talk on their free boards.

i was just looking at that espn board. man i'm really starting to hate the Big East fans. they're all talking trash about the ACC. one said BC just lost to the worst team in the conference. wow, shows how smart that person is. do they not realize why the ACC is down this year. the NFL draft raided a ton of the talent in the ACC. didn't the ACC set the record for number of players from one conference to be drafted during last years draft? in a year or two the ACC will be back up there just as strong or stronger then ever, especially if Duke, UNC, and Miami get coaches that are marginally better than the ones they have right now. i like Ted Roof, but i'm starting to wonder if he can get them to improve.

the big east has won 2 non-conference games against I-A teams with winning records total this year. So they don't have much room to talk
