Wake Forest football finds that radio announcer leaked game plans
Woah. This is nuts.


http://www.espn.com/college-football/sto...-opponents

Quote:Wake Forest has concluded that team radio announcer Tommy Elrod -- a former player and assistant coach -- provided or attempted to provide confidential game preparations to opponents several times starting in 2014, the school said in a statement on Tuesday.

The school began a programwide investigation last month after an equipment manager discovered documents inside Papa John's Cardinal Stadium -- one day before Wake Forest's Nov. 12 football game in Louisville -- that showed specific Demon Deacons plays.

Elrod has been fired from the IMG Radio Network and banned from Wake Forest athletics and its facilities.

Elrod played for Wake Forest from 1993 to 1997 and was later hired as a graduate assistant under Jim Grobe. Elrod held multiple positions for 11 seasons but was not retained by current head coach Dave Clawson.

Hard to comprehend...so, so wrong. Local radio was also making fun of coaches that received information. Do you really need inside info to beat WFU?

Also, I'm reminded of the year we lost to Wake. I don't recall if it was Blizzard's sophomore or junior season, but there was speculation that they had scouted a UNCW practice and knew our plays.

I hate WFU, so I find this story amusing.

Amusing and sad at the same time.

I also have significant disdain for WF, and it makes me smile for that reason. I'd imagine his not being retained as a coach by the current staff led him to this.

What I want to know now is who the receivers of information were that never said anything. They should all be fired by their respective schools as well.

Petrino apparently cheated to win a game. And it was probably easy to do. When Elrod coached at Wake Forest, he was co-coordinator of the passing game. His other co-coordinator, Lonnie Galloway, now works on Petrino’s staff. That sound you hear should be Galloway calling his lawyer.

Petrino involved in this? No way. Guy's a class act. Never, ever would have thought that coward, who quit the Falcons job and let his players know by leaving a note in the locker room, would have participated in a cheating scandal and lied about it after the fact.

Shocking, I know.

That's what growing up around Winston-Salem will do to you. Being surrounded by another team's fan base is off putting. I preferred NCSU to WFU before I moved to Raleigh.
