Well to most peoples surprise, but not mine, Wake Forest shut out Florida State 30-0 and became 9-1 for the first time in school history! They also became the first team to shut out FSU in Tallahassee since Bowden has been coach. Unfortunately, I did not get to watch the game b/c the Texas v. Kansas State game was on (which I will talk about in a moment), but according to one of my good friend/classmate who called me late in the 4th quarter, the broadcasters were still not accpeting of the fact that Wake Forest has a good team this year. They were too busy trying to figure out “what happened” and “what will happen to Bobby Bowden”, which is insane. FSU has been struggling all season, nothing is going to happen to Bobby until he wants something to happen. While I am extremely excited about the win, I am even more frustrated that Wake Forest still won’t get any respect. My friend pointed out that Wake will probably still end up being the underdog in both the Va Tech and Maryland game, which sadly is probably true. Anyway… enough of my anger. Congrats Wake Forest! The players and coaches deserve the recognition.
Another team that earns recognition is Kansas State. Their freshman QB and 1st year coach led them to an upset over Texas where again the broadcasters kept predicting a Texas comeback. Kansas State played a GREAT game. It made me less angry at not being able to see the Wake game.
…no one noticed.
The Cody parents did notice.Congratulations to Wake Forest. Kyllan, there is a reason that sports announcers are sports announcers. They seem to always go with the status quo. Don’t expect Wake Forest to get it’s just due from them. Just enjoy the victory. Don’t let the sports announcers steal your joy!
You’re absolutely right. Thanks for the reminder!
Kyllan,
You KNOW I noticed! It was such a great game and I was so very proud of being a Wake alum. However, the announcers were completely disregarding how great we are this year and it made it very hard to enjoy the game… so I muted it and cheered our boys on to victory : ) We are the underdog in the game against VT this weekend, but that just makes this upcoming win that much better. Key and I will be watching!! GO DEACS!!
DeeDee! I knew you would be as excited as me. Tell Kristen this is one weekend she cannot pull for Va Tech!
I admit I was a non-believer who has now been converted to a believer (so has William even if he won’t admit it publicly). Wake has a good team this year and has steadily built a pretty good program over the past several years. So, in closing, I got your back going forward (unless you play a SEC team in one of the bowls).
Haha. Thanks Jamaal 🙂
