The Wake Forest Demon Deacon sports blog where Charlie Brown is still trying to kick that football...
This was a late game, and I really don’t have anything to good to say about what we just watched, so this one is going to be pretty quick. The Deacs were absolutely outclassed on their home court by the SMU Mustangs, who dominated Wake to the tune of 91-79. The final score really doesn’t […]

Nate Calmese saving the Deacs is starting to become a trend this season. After trailing for nearly the entire second half, Calmese’s contested floater with just 6 seconds remaining in the game gave Wake a 1-point lead and eventually the win over the Florida State Seminoles by a score of 69-68. This was definitely a […]

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons men’s soccer team will be more than happy to ring in the new year after what was a challenging 2025 season. Coming off of an ACC Championship and a run to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2024, the Deacs opened the season at #6 in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and […]

In what has been the story of the season so far, the Deacs came within seconds of pulling off a big upset win against a ranked team, only to come up short in the end. Despite trailing for nearly the entire game, Wake had a chance at the buzzer to send the game to OT, […]

If you weren’t concerned with which team won, that was probably an incredibly entertaining game to watch. This was a back and forth affair that went right down to the wire, with both Miami and Wake trading baskets and leads for nearly the entire game. Unfortunately, we do care who won, so none of that […]

After an impressive 9-4 season that ended with a win over Mississippi State in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl, we have officially reached the offseason. That means its time for what I think many would consider the worst part of the current era of college sports—the transfer portal. We clearly have a problem with the sports […]

This one was big for the Deacs. I said after the NC State game that the next game was crucial for a team that looked like it was losing its confidence, and Wake was up for the challenge. The game went right down to the final possession, but the Deacs were able to pull it […]

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons are Duke’s Mayo Bowl Champs! Led by a career night from senior QB Robby Ashford, the Deacs took down the Mississippi State Bulldogs 43-29 to claim one of the most coveted rewards in all of college football—4.5 gallons of mayonnaise. This game started off fast. The Bulldogs won the coin […]

It seems the 10 days off for the holidays did not fix very much for the Deacons—in their first game since getting blown out at home by Vanderbilt, Wake Forest lost by double digits yet again, falling to NC State by a score of 57-70. The Deacs repeated many of the same mistakes they did […]

I said after the last game that if the Deacs didn’t play better against Vanderbilt, the game was going to get ugly in a hurry. Unfortunately, that is exactly what happened in this one, as the Commodores completed blew Wake off their own home court and handed the Deacs their worse home loss since 2019 […]

Whatever happened between Sunday’s game against Queens and tonight’s game against Longwood, Wake Forest should make sure they never do it again. Tonight’s game was basically a completely 180 from the blowout win over Queens, and the Deacs were honestly lucky that they were able to come out of that game unscathed. On Sunday, the […]

Mississippi State has been through a lot in the past few years—the tragic passing of Mike Leach in 2022 had a huge impact on the trajectory of the program, and the Bulldogs have been trying to get things back on track ever since. With the basketball program still trying to recover fully from Skip Prosser’s […]

Well, that was a quite a way to come out of the week off—the Deacs were on fire from deep from the opening tip and used 17 3-pointers to blow out Queens 111-73. This was game was pretty much over at halftime, so this is going to be a pretty quick recap. The story of […]

Since the basketball team is off for the week and the football team doesn’t play until 2026, I figured we could fill the time by looking at the ACC bowl slate and just make a quick prediction on the outcome of each game. The conference bowl record has never really mattered to me that much […]

The game will take place in Charlotte on January 2nd at 8 PM. Mississippi State finished the season at 5-7, but […]
