Wake Forest: 21
Boston College: 14


For the first time since 1944, the Wake Forest University football team goes to 8-1. They are certain to move into the Top Twenty, and BC is sure to have fallen out of the rankings following the loss, in Winston-Salem.

I note three things:

First, there were empty seats in Groves Stadium, which is amazing given the fact that this was a clash of two ACC powerhouses, duking it out for a chance to play for the ACC Championship;

Second, the ESPN 2 announcers could not have possibly been more pro-BC (unless they had sung the BC Fight Song following the two BC touchdowns); and ,

Third, my living room may have been the only place in the entire Free World where someone was shouting, "Fuck 'em up, fuck 'em up, BC sucks!"

Oh, and a fourth. Does anyone (other than me) think that the new BC logo (shown above) looks like a dick (with eyes and a beak)? Now, the Demon Deacon, there is a mascot!

And since it is a Wake victory, it's only fitting we get the Wake Fight Song:

O Here's to Wake Forest

1. O here's to Wake Forest
A glass of the finest
Red ruddy, Rhenish filled up to the brim.
Her sons they are many
Unrivaled by any
With hearts o'erflowing, we will sing a hymn.

(Chorus)
Rah! Rah! Wake Forest Rah!
Old Alma Mater's sons are we.
We'll herald the story
And die for her glory,
Old Gold and Black is ever waving high.

2. As frosh we adore her
As sophs we explore her
And carve our names upon her ancient walls.
As juniors patrol her
As seniors extol her
And weep to leave fore'er her sacred halls.

I think that it is the most ridiculous logo that I have ever seen. Penis with beak and eyes. Definitely.

And no, I was not smoking crack.
