Actually, we topped the list of 5-7 candidates, thanks to our program's (players) academic performance. On occasion, the NCAA gets something right. And we did beat Syracuse and Illinois, the other two candidates, on the field and in the classroom.
Im sure anyone watching was impressed with apr rankings. Wow two wins over 5 win teams impressive. Act of charity.

I don’t Understand if people are having such a great time on vacation and at a game …but then come on this damn site to complain about another team not having enough fans a the game ! Wow !!
I guess it's fans being competitive-minded. And I'm competitive-minded too - but only when I'm actually playing in a competition of some sort. Not as a fan.

But as I said, each to their own. And I know that, if WF fans showed up at an RU tailgate, Nuts would welcome them and be a gracious host. So no big deal.

I can believe it. Y'all had great weather and, for a while at least, it was a fun game.

GS and their coach seem like buddies. So maybe we can schedule a home & home with them a few years out. Get us a little payback. 🙂
I’m pretty sure that they started coaching together when they were just starting their careers.

I don’t give a **** what a small school you are. If you have a month to mobilize your Fanbase, with that record and almost winning your conference, you should have more than 7 or 8000 fans here at best.

Pretty ignorant statement. Football isn’t the priority at Wake Forest. The Rutgers turnout didn’t look very good on TV either.

We have a larger endowment actually... $1.6 billion to $1.3 billion.

I believe the 1.6B RU is noted above is spread across all campus.

Wake Forest University (Wake Forest University) is a Endowment located in Winston Salem, NC United States, North America. Current Assets for Wake Forest University is $4,704,778,000 and SWFI has 8 periods of historical assets...

They are right

but I think of it this way….

this was their dream season. At one point they were top 10 with dreams of the playoff

but then the wheels came off. Beat by UNC and CRUSHED by the only decent ACC teams they played

they still get a decent bowl against a good Texas AM team and then they have to settle for a 5-7 Rutgers team

what a let down for them after the dream start to their season LOL

btw A&M would have DESTROYED them

Nothing wrong with Wake Forest, a tiny school pretty campus with very little athletic support - the game ends and we will never hear from them again

Actually if you were there you would’ve known that our turnout was actually pretty impressive when you take into account the fact that we only had a week to make plans. But, you’re really not that much of a fan, so whatever lol.

Dude the crowd on both sides was beyond embarrassing. Impressive? Yea ok.
Yes, there is plenty of valid excuses for fans not showing up. But it was bad. Hopefully our next bowl there is no excuse and fans can travel and pack the place.

SMH - Seriously? I don't know why this board is criticizing the WF fanbase. Wake Forest had more fans at Army West Point this season than they did today and just perhaps the WF fanbase had no interest in viewing their team play against Rutgers. #IaJustSaying

I’m sure WF fans are very nice people
Not what I encountered.
The guy next to me was a neutral fan.. drove down from Myrtle Beach and asked me if he should punch the Wake Forest big mouth behind us. He was serious.

...but the real question is did they get into the stadium and in their seats 25 mins before kickoff so the team can see them coming out of the tunnel and on TV......THAT is a true fan base according to most..,,

Wow. Nothing gets by you.

I fully realize what Rutgers record was this year. We all do. We all understand that playing in the gator bowl was a gift…a gift that we did not deserve based on the results on the field. That is understood by all here.

thus some idiot wake fan pointing that out to us has no effect. The only reaponse is…. “Well, no ****”

I’m totally fine with the game today. We got a free game. The young players got some good opportunities to play, etc. we lost but so what … we shouldn’t have been playing anyway

wake got a dud of an ending to their dream season falling apart. Today’s win must feel rather hollow. No?

I actually thought our turn out was very impressive given a week to do so. Obviously you weren’t there.

lol this is the 6th(?) oldest bowl game. Was around LONG before ESPN. What a completely uninformed post
I would have expected the community to support the bowl as well. That was a failure as well. I assume due to Covid. The Sun Bowl was empty as well. The bowls are dying when it comes to in person attendance.

Wake endowment is 1.3B. Apples and apples Rutgers endowment is 1.6B. Small for its size but growing faster than most universities.
