Most of the anti-FBS rubes are closet Tar Heels fans.

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
Honestly don't blame Wake for avoiding us while we were FCS. The game would only make the news if we beat them....they win, who cares, as they are supposed to beat the lower division school. Plus, they could only count so many FCS games towards bowl eligibility.Saint3333 wrote:I find that to be speculation and pot stirring.AppGrad78 wrote:But don't you find it telling that Cobb had 10 years to make a Wake-App game happen and couldn't.

Grobe was the HC at Wake from 2001-2013 and I've heard him state publicly on Charlotte radio interviews that he would not play App, he said that game had no upside.
Perhaps that is a more likely reason.
As usual moose beat me to it.
On top of all that, they had lost to us a couple of times and were just tired of getting their asses kicked!

I like Rick Beasley. He is a good guy and a real Mountaineer. I assume he is not in the running for the AD, so what role will he play after the decision is made?

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
Agree that playing us was a no win for Wake for years. Battling us to an extent in recruiting, losing to a neighborhood FCS team would not be good. Losing to an FCS power (for a good stretch of years) probable. I know that up until a few years ago a win over an FCS team did not count towards bowl eligibility and Wake needed to beat all of the lower tier FBS teams that they could. We probably accounted for half of the crowd at most games. If we just get ECU to do a home and home that would be great.

I never understood the naysayers when there were lots of G5 schools that were already getting home and homes with P5's. I guess they have an inferiority complex.

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
I don't remember people naming those specific schools, but we are a lot closer to that being a possibility down the road than we would have ever been in FCS.WVAPPeer wrote:I honestly believe that had more to do with those who were saying UNC, VT, Clemson would be coming to The Rock in the near future ---

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
Great news about the Wake home and home! Looking forward to coming up the mountain to see the first ACC school enter the Rock and leave with a L!!
Just saw on twitter, TX A&M just opted out of the series with Oregon in 2018 and 2019. Not saying Oregon would come to Boone but hopefully Beas is calling Eugene for a trip out there for our guys. I'm sure they would love to check our Nike's headquarters while out there.
GO 'NEERS!

Moving up has its benefits.
Just take a look at Western's garbage schedule this season and let me know if you miss being in the SoCon.

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
One thing I like about the new schedule that I didn't expect is this notion of playing an all FBS schedule. Whoever pushed us in that direction ... Cobb, Sutton, Beasley, the custodian, whoever ... kudos.

I responded in the affirmative.
That's all.

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
Except these people said NO P5 team would come to Boone. Those of us that said we could this type of team to come to Boone were laughed at by the anti-FBS crowd. Who's laughing now? I habe a feeling they will quietly get on board but never publicly admit they were wrong.WVAPPeer wrote:I honestly believe that had more to do with those who were saying UNC, VT, Clemson would be coming to The Rock in the near future ---TheMoody1 wrote:JTApps1 wrote:Where are naysayers who said we would never get a P5 school in Boone?

When will "It's better than what we had" no longer be good enough for App State?

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
Agreed. Its interesting to see after Cobb was pretty consistent saying we would play an FCS at home each year. Maybe he underestimated the level of interest teams would have in coming to Boone.AppGrad78 wrote:One thing I like about the new schedule that I didn't expect is this notion of playing an all FBS schedule.

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
Personally I would rather play one FCS team per season. We can count one toward bowl eligibility, IMO we should do so (unless something else comes along that is too good to pass up). Would rather have scheduled FCS games in '16 and '17 than UMass.AppGrad78 wrote:One thing I like about the new schedule that I didn't expect is this notion of playing an all FBS schedule.

But that's a discussion for another day. This series is a home run.

Re: IT'S WAKE FOREST.... 2017
With all due respect that is BS. There were quite a few posters that claimed we couldn't get a P5 program to Boone. Not saying it was you and I'd rather not call out those posters, but it was said by at least two members which I clearly remember debates with them this past summer.WVAPPeer wrote:I honestly believe that had more to do with those who were saying UNC, VT, Clemson would be coming to The Rock in the near future ---TheMoody1 wrote:JTApps1 wrote:Where are naysayers who said we would never get a P5 school in Boone?
