DEACON SPORTS

Living in the midst of Georgia Bulldog and Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket fans can sometimes be exasperating with their raucous barking and boastful rambling. They do not have appreciation of the finer and better things in life ... like my Wake Forest Demon Deacons.


The Deacs had a good fall sports season. The soccer team hoped to repeat as national champions, but were defeated in the semi-final game. The football team was ranked as high as 15th in the polls, and finished with a bowl game win over Navy. The basketball team is 12-0 right now, and ranked 6th in the national polls.

Sunday, January 11, at 8 p.m. is a TV schedule challenge for me. Wake Forest will take on the #1 UNC Heels on the hardwood. At the same time "Jack Bauer" will be cranking up the "24" season. I think I can watch a delayed version of "Jack", but I will have to see the basketball game live.
