in Winston-Salem 21-13 with 3:23 left in the game. Wake just got the ball back on their 7. UL-M has held Wake to two 1st downs in the second half so far. We'll see if they can hold on.

Final: UL-M 21 Wake 19

If Wake would grow a pair, starting next year they could lose to a Sun Belt school with a full stadium instead of a half empty one.

Wake might as well played App State. Lost anyway, but just think of time and travel costs that could be save, plus 8-10,000 more tickets sold. Bigger crowds mean more dollars for restaurants, motels, gas stations and concession sales. I truly don't understand a home and home for WF with ULM versus a home and home with the Apps.

Where does Wake recruit?

The only reason I ask is because if they recruit heavily in NC losing to ULM would be far less painful than losing to ASU. Since we probably will be recruiting in the same area they don't want to appear "worse than" App State...

That's the only reason I can think of...

Plain and simple - recruiting is the reason Wake will not schedule App. Secondly, they don't need the money. The Winston-Salem economy would love it. However, Wake Forest is an economy in and of itself. The only way an App-Wake game happens is when the big boosters get tired of looking at thousands of empty seats and force Wellman to make a change in scheduling.

I'm sure they heavily recruit LA.

Or force a change from Wellman. People can bash Charlie Cobb, but thank goodness Wellman is not our AD.

Trust me on this - there are big money donors at WFU who don't care if they ever play App again. I'd even go so far as to say they don't want WFU to play App. What the Moricle Society says, Wellman does.

Wake recruits Florida heavily according to their roster. They have some NC guys, but do not recruit the same people we do.
