I Fear Not The House Of Deacon. But Just In Case…

There are places in this world that exhude a strange and negative energy…places of my youth, where certain turns in the road or hollows always had an unsettling aura as if they echoed deeper vortexes of a dark or foreboding universe… oft in broad daylight. The poet in me is most sensitive to these, but the warrior in me is not.

Native American shamans used sage burning for the first known time in history. They used it in their shamanistic rituals and ceremonies. They also used to burn sage to heal, to remove negative energy.

The first meaningful group to arrive at any college football, gameday venue, is the training staff. They van in, replete with every tape, every extra pad, suture, mouthpiece, cleat, towel, jersey, jock, sock…it’s really quite a traveling medicine show.

These guys are students of the universe, uncaring of the X and O. They are suppliers of the existential, the stuff fans don’t get to see from seats at the stadium, or couches…Modern day shamans!

The warrior in me hopes they bring a whole lotta sage to burn Saturday.

    Defense will have to score 14 of that 50.

    This one could be over before the half unless our defense makes an appearance.

    Is it just me or does anyone else have to restart their WatchESPN app every 10 minutes or so? Must be ESPN’s senior day or something.

    That should been a pick 7 for half of the 14.

    This game has me worried for sure. The Deacs are working the field easily and we All know how bad this coaching staff is at making adjustments. Especially after the half and into the 3rd quarter. We are consistently awful in the 3rd quarter. We need points NOW and some quick 4 play defense.

    fwiw… our halftime adjustments have been most problematic with the Offense, not the Defense….

    that said… obviously the D coaches missed my game plan posted lasted Tuesday…

    We need to ‘hurt’ Wollford…

    What is the deal with all the penalties we’re committing. It almost looks as if it’s our Distracting Senior Day Disadvantage instead of WF’s. But it’s not our senior day. Weird.

    It would be nice to get a hold then tack on another TD (dare I say FG?) before the half. The Pack needs to score with the wind.

    Our secondary never looks back for the ball. Is this lack of coaching or lack of play?

    Huxtable made some adjustments after that last stop I can see.

    Hard to count but that’s something like 4 blitzes on the last 5 plays for the Wolfpack D…

    obviously not waiting until the half to make adjustments…

    Unfortunately, Wake moves on down the field just the same…

    FUX!!!

    Get the DBs some binoculars so they can at least see Hines.

    Hopefully the distraction of Senior Day will start to affect the Wake Forest offense soon.

    The Deacs offense moves so quick between plays that our defense can’t get set in time. Now that’s efficiency and our defense can’t figure it out in time. So, did we not work being prepared for the quick start Deac offense? Sure looks like we didn’t….

    We are still calling the freaking defense set and the ball is already in play.

    We probably just assumed they’d be distracted because it’s their senior day. Woah is me.

    If we don’t make this we will be down two TDs and they get the kick off.

    Going into halftime tied would feel like a victory after the way Wake has dominated and moved the ball.

    If you guys could get over the stupid senior day thing and move on, it would be great for all of the rest of us reading this thread. Thanks in advance.
