Brace yourselves. Wake Forest is going to get roughed up, kicked around, and crushed big time this Saturday against Ole Miss.
It will be over early. You won’t have to watch the second half of the second quarter.
Sorry to be negative. But do you really think the wicked talented 5-star transfer portal wide receivers – making $5 million each to join the team – and star quarterback for Ole Miss, dart-throwing Jaxson Dart, are going to have trouble picking apart the Wake Forest secondary which, to be honest, is worse than last year when it also was constantly giving away touchdowns like free candy?
I am a Wake Forest football fan and don’t believe in giving up on my team but there is no way they’re going to win tomorrow and it won’t be anywhere close. Ole Miss won its first game 76 to nothing or some such. They’re loaded with athletes at all positions who are better than Wake’s athletes.
Sorry to be negative but you need to know the truth.
Wake will try hard as they often do, but they’ll be outmanned and outclassed all across the field.
This is the week to skip the game to plant grass seed or throw out all that extraneous stuff that’s been rotting in your garage for 20 years.
Go for a walk. Breathe the air. Don’t watch this game.
It won’t make you happy. It will only make you wonder if Wake Forest should totally rethink its football program and consider leaving the ACC to play in a league where they have more chances to win such as the one that Longwood and Radford are in.
Some league where they can win. Some league where they can outspend other teams to get the best players. Some situation, unlike the one they’re in now where it’s a hopeless and futile struggle against schools that can spend more money to get better players. Something else; not this, a change, a new direction, a reformulated ideology.
Remember long ago when Clemson beat Wake in football 88 to nothing or some such? Maybe tomorrow we’ll see that blow-out but on a larger scale – 98 to nothing. Maybe Ole Miss will break 100.
Maybe this will go down as the Malcolm Gladwell tipping point moment in Wake Forest football history when it became apparent the current way of approaching football is unsustainable. Maybe it will cause the university’s administrators, faculty, and coaches to re-think how big a priority they want to make football.
Maybe they’ll decide to jump off the out-of-control train, get out of the transfer portal game because there isn’t enough money to stay competitive, and they’ll pull back big-time on the entire enterprise because they recognize they’re fighting a battle they’re not set up to win. A fight they can’t win no matter how many positive thinking books they read.
All this could happen on Saturday. Don’t put yourself through the agony.
Don’t watch.
If you do it’ll only make you sad, mad, and feel bad
