Re: Belk Bowl
Wake now with more points two minutes into the 2Q than they scored the entire game against us. That loss hasn't stopped stinging yet.

Re: Belk Bowl
It does still sting. We beat them everywhere but the scoreboard. It was so disappointing to lose that one.CVAPP wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 2:16 pmNot for me either.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 2:10 pmWake now with more points two minutes into the 2Q than they scored the entire game against us.

Re: Belk Bowl
They wore this uniform combo once prior to this game. And used it in marketing this game.

Re: Belk Bowl
I'm still convinced that if we would have beaten Wake Forest, we would have gone undefeated the rest of the way and finished ranked inside the top 10/15 with our only loss coming at the hands of a highly ranked UGA team on the road and in the first game of the season.Lowcountry App wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 2:33 pmIt does still sting.

That Wake Forest game had the chance to be a true game changer for the program. Imagine how it would have affected in-state recruiting.

Re: Belk Bowl
I don't think a win against Wake would have prevented injuries to Stringer and others. I don't recall precisely when the mid-season injury bug bit us, but I don't remember us being too banged up against Wake.Peter Venkman wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 2:46 pmI'm still convinced that if we would have beaten Wake Forest, we would have gone undefeated the rest of the way and finished ranked inside the top 10/15 with our only loss coming at the hands of a highly ranked UGA team on the road and in the first game of the season.

Re: Belk Bowl
Best game of the bowl season so far. Hate we couldn't beat Wake earlier this season but that was a fun game to watch!

I'd rank it #2 behind Army/San Diego St., but it was a heck of a game.MountaineerMafia wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 5:12 pmBest game of the bowl season so far. Hate we couldn't beat Wake earlier this season but that was a fun game to watch!

Re: Belk Bowl
Wake gets away with a PI in the last minute of a tight game (feels familiar), but this time no makeup call the next play.

Re: Belk Bowl
We gave that game to Wake. My stomach still churns when I think back to that one and the Tennessee game Iast year.

Re: Belk Bowl
If that receiver had not been touched it would have still been a heckuva grab for him bring that ball in. It may have been a make up call for one they missed earlier where a Wake receiver was clearly held but no flag was tossed. Or, they just didn't think it was a catchable ball. I don't think it was a game changer. Both teams had plenty of opportunities to overcome adversity, and or simply play a little bit of defense. I think we would have beaten either team today had we been selected for the Belk Bowl.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Fri Dec 29, 2017 5:17 pmWake gets away with a PI in the last minute of a tight game (feels familiar), but this time no makeup call the next play.
