Put some respect on the Deacs
I'm fully aware of what our football program is and what it isn't.
Beacuse we didn't invest in the program pre-2000, there's a notion that we're awful to the likes of South Carolina, NC State, Maryland and other fans who post their overall records or screenshots of winspedia.
@TheDeacMachine Last 20 years: Wake has 120 wins vs. Maryland’s 108. Wake has 12 Bowl appearances vs. Maryland’s 10.
Marginally better.
Switch conference affiliation and I’m confident the numbers would be reversed at the very least.
What these casuals leave out is they don't look at the last 20-30 years. Why that timespan? Because that's when college athletics blew up and the current athletes were born. They've grown up with Wake being a better program than a lot of others. This isn't the 70s anymore.
@JerseyTerp And you’re being disingenuous by using data from the 60s to try and prove a point.
Wake has had more success than Maryland for the last 2 decades and it isn’t close.
I’m flattered Maryland fans keep bringing up our coach as a replacement.
Zero chance in hell he downgrades and go to a program with nearly equal resources in league that is much more top heavy.
