Today is the third anniversary of the passing of Wake Forest's great basketball coach Skip Prosser. He was a man who embodied everything great about our institution. His spirit and heart won over the student body. Fashion was important to Skip too - as was said in his funeral mass homily,
"He convinced over 4,000 of us fashion-conscious undergraduates that wearing a black and gold tie-dye t-shirt was and is a rite of passage into the Wake Forest family."
The basketball team is asking everyone in Winston-Salem to meet up on the Quad at 10pm tonight and participate in the trademark Wake tradition - rolling the Quad. Skip loved nothing more than to see students on the Quad after a big win.
We can't wait to see you there tonight, Skip.
