A Ghost on Tobacco Road

Wake Forest alum Matt Gallagher wrote a piece today about Skip Prosser, the Ghost on Tobacco Road. For those of you who aren't familiar with Skip's legacy, you should get familiar with him ASAP. He understood that his job as a coach at Wake Forest was to set high goals for his players on and off the court. His players adored him so much that they wanted to surpass his expectations with every part of their being. 

We highly recommend his article. If you know about Skip's legacy, it never hurts to be reminded of what a great man he was. If you don't know about Skip's legacy, you should take advantage of the opportunity to become acquainted with him.

It is Chic Deac's hope that "we're going to be good again," but we're not sure we'll ever be blessed with another coach like Skip Prosser. Regardless, there is one thing Skip would have wanted for tonight: a full, loud and obnoxiously bright student section. 

Roll the Quad for Skip

GO DEACS! BEAT UNC!

Miracles happen people. Say your prayers. Cross your fingers. Wear your pajamas inside out. We have faith - our boys could beat Roy and his crew tonight at Chapel Hill.

And Boom Goes the Dynamite

To Geed or Not to Geed? That is the Question ...

Oh we've been avoiding this question forever because everyone has an opinion on tie dye. Some hate it, some love it and some could simply care less. We also have a nagging feeling that our regular readers fall on the "HATE IT" side of the fence, and we simply have to disagree. But, since a friend who interns in Athletics told us that tonight is the most important game of the season, we're going to self sacrifice here. 


Tie Dye isn't pretty or fashionable. We're entirely aware that it's the ugliest combination of our school colors. Actually it's not even really our school colors - it's black and bleed your eyes out gold. No one looks good it in it - whether your tan, pale or in between. 


BUT, looking good is not the point of tie dye. You are supposed to make the opponents' eyes literally bleed from the pain of looking at our section. We are the intimidation factor in the Joel. So let's step it up and sacrifice our fashion conscious attitudes tonight when the Deacs take on Iowa at 7pm. 


So here is Chic Deac's final verdict on tie dye: Go ahead, Wake Forest. Put your frat pastels aside for one hot second and wear something ugly. Surely, your awesome, fratty reputation will be able to withstand the momentary geedness.
