NFT: Wake / D. Manning

Wow, is it ugly in Winston-Salem! Danny Manning has gotta be out as HC as soon as season ends (some calling for it sooner).

Wake just lost at home by 38 to UNC. This follows 3 out of their last 4 games being 22+ point ACC losses. And they've had 2 other 22+ point losses and 3 11+ point losses. This is Manning's 5th season to turn it around, and his latest recruiting class was well-regarded. But they just can't compete in the ACC. Not at all.

It's a shame...Manning is a class act, and Wake is a great university that prizes high-character guys. They competed with T. Duncan and C. Paul, but that seems an eternity ago.
Love Wake

After Seton Hall, they are my second favorite team. He's actually recruiting well but its not translating. Fell in love with that program when they had Teague, Johnson, Aminu etc. They were #1 for a short period of time. All of those guys have had good careers in the NBA. Good program with a good history, but the ACC is as tough as ever. tough job.
and yet they beat NC State

Hall of Fame broadcaster.

But listening to him call Duke games is unbearable. He just said when Duke brings its 'A' game they can beat anyone in the country.


Really going out on a limb there Dickie
