There’s not much room for sentimentality in big-time sports.
In a vacuum, it’s hard not to root for Wake Forest to win the ACC. They’re a plucky underdog program from a great school with really nice fans that we’ve always enjoyed interacting with both in-person and online. Dave Clawson seems like a good dude, and seeing a program like Wake Forest break the long stranglehold powerhouses like Florida State and Clemson have had over the ACC Atlantic would give hope to a lot of programs, including BC.
Of course, given Wake’s history, they probably have a similar feeling that we as BC fans would have right now going in to a game against Wake with a chance to lock up the division: that this is the type of winnable situation in which we bottle it.
