Maybe its me. Wake goes 11-3, but 0-2 in the games I attend. Just go ahead and blame me for the Orange Bowl loss. I should have taken my cue from the Virginia Tech game. My bad.
Still, it goes without saying that Wake Forest winning the ACC Championship and earning a trip to the Orange Bowl is a remarkable achievement. We've come along way. It was only a few years ago that I considered going to the Aloha or Seattle Bowl to be a really big deal. Now I would be positively disappointed with a similar result next season. Hopefully I will go to school closer to home in the fall and be able to see our now-successful team actually win a game.
As an aside, the non-football highlight of the game was the three fighter planes scorching right above the stadium after the National Anthem. Any of my words would fall woefully short of capturing how awe-inspiring that sight was, but suffice it to say that the only thing anyone could think to say was "Wow."

It's always disappointing to lose the last game, but I guess being the best Wake football team ever is still a pretty good accomplishment. I wish we'd have played Notre Dame instead though...
I would imagine we're out of the basement for awhile. I don't expect us to challenge for the conference crown every year though. It would be funny if NC State took our spot at the bottom ('cause there can only be one good football school in North Carolina, right?).
It's almost time for 1.5L! Woohoo! Class!
I miss Halo...
