I can understand not doing it for Charlotte, Appalachian St, or Coastal Carolina.
WFU doesn’t have a very large fan base. Raleigh is also pretty far from USCe or Clemson
Oddly enough, I think a Syracuse night would work. There are a ton of Syracuse fans around here for some reason. VT night would also probably do better than Wake or Duke.
Gross.

No but the Kansas City Royals have for several seasons in a row.

I went to a Royals game one time and they had KU and Mizzou Royals hats.

I guess that's where upstate New York snowbirds go...?
Connecticut snowbirds go to Florida.

Wake doesn't really have much of a fanbase in that area. Charlotte and App (especially App) have a lot more alums in the triangle than Wake does.
Wake is a very small school that gets a lot of its students from our of state, and many of them leave the state after graduation.

And your point is what, exactly?
That I went to a KC game and there were KU and Mizzou hats there. It seemed like some sort of contest to see who could have more fans there. I was not trying to imply that they didn't ever have WSU hats.

Thanks Chappy. What's the secret for the image posting? I must not be doing something obvious.

If it's from twitter like that one, use [twitter and [/twitter instead of [image

They did it for WSU, KU, K State, Missouri, Missouri State and Nebraska, I'm surprised they didn't have one for Iowa State.
