Maybe we should have that kept Wale Forest game for 2026 instead of playing Arizona.
The article in Future Schedules from March says it is unclear if the Wake Forest game is to be rescheduled or cancelled all together. Does anyone have any updated insight to this?

These are the bad programs in The ACC. You guys remember getting destroyed by Duke?

Some teams are “P5” by lucky association only.

“We’re 2-0 in the ACC the last two years, maybe we should just move to the ACC. We’d have have better luck there,” Lombardi said. “Obviously, I’m joking. But it does mean a lot to us. I mean, these are Power 5 opponents, they’ve got more resources than we do.
“This is the NIL era, these players are paid; we’re not,” he said. “So to be able to come in here and get a win over a team like this, it really means a lot to us.”

Don’t remind me. I still remember the fake punt from our own end zone. It still haunts me

Although that was in a bowl game, and we were never prepared for bowl games under Carey.

No respectable program would get destroyed by Duke!

I thought we lost at home to Boston College a few years ago. I’d say NIU Boston College pretty equal programs.
