Wake 24, UConn 13

Well, son of a gun, Wake Forest won. Once again, I didn't get to see the game because, once again, no broadcaster in their right mind would air Wake vs. UConn. In basketball, certainly; in football, not so much.

So Wake starts the 2006 season 3-0, the first time they've opened with three straight wins since 1987. Dang, y'all. And their next two games are against Ol' Miss and Liberty. Dang. Then they face Clemson at home on October 7. In the past three years, they've only lost to Clemson once - in overtime. Dang. Dang.

I am a superstitious man. I am going to stop right there. I am going to cede the Deaconball floor to espn.com's excellent Pat Forde, who gives the Deacons some well-deserved attention in his Forde-Yard Dash: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=forde_pat&id=2594247

Ol' Miss fans like to say that they may not win every game, but they've never lost a party. Wake Forest fans like to say that we may not win every game, but partying is best left to the country club. Or, if they're the old-school Southern Baptist Wake Forest fans, they say partying is of the Devil and is best left to Episcopalians.
