I think back now, on this last day of the Wake Forest football season, to one evening some five weeks ago soaking in the euphoric vibes at a Mexican restaurant in Winston-Salem with three other Wake Forest friends. We ordered several plates of food: tacos, burritos, rice, doubles of all that, and some more burritos, […]
In college football’s capstone celebration for 2023, Sammy Sportface will be honored during the Wake Forest football game this Saturday at Syracuse. The hyper-opportunistic and self-absorbed sports blogger will be holding a three-day seminar teaching the esteemed Syracuse journalism students a new form of sports journalism aimed at increasing Facebook followers, piggybacking off your alma’s […]
Being plugged in like no other person ever has been, Sammy Sportface got way out in front of the two biggest football stories after three weeks of the season. He predicted the University of Colorado and Wake Forest, both 3-0 at the time and the two most blogged-about programs in Division 1, were destined to […]
Sammy Sportface woke up this morning still obsessing about how Wake Forest is going to navigate the college football transfer portal and position itself for future success after this year’s dismal season.

First downs, no, not really, pretty much none. Lots of punts, though, if you’re into punts. I don’t know what to say. The Wake […]
There is sadness this morning. But before I get into that, I want to share important and unexpected context. For the past several weeks I’ve been listening to interviews with Rick Rubin, one of Hollywood’s most successful music producers. He’s notorious for lying down and meditating as famous rock and hip-hop bands play music in […]
After the Pitt game last weekend, Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson discussed how fast college football teams have to forget about the game just played, pivot, and focus on the next one. He talked about how the press, just two days after the big victory over Pitt, would start asking him how he and his […]
What if you walk into the Wake Forest football stadium Saturday and you see gold and black signs hanging everywhere, and 600 font letters on the endzone jumbotron with the words “Santino’s Italian Army.” You’ll think to yourself, hey, that reminds me of the 1970s when in Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh fans would hang […]
