This is super discouraging for the long-term.
In spite of how bad we are, easily a top 5 worst loss in the history of the program.
That’s a fun exercise.
The ‘16 opener vs Nichols State is #1. We lost to a 30 loss team with a backcourt of Bowman and Robinson

Also known as the game where the fire alarm lights kept flashing the whole game.
Interestingly, the most miserable performance I've seen in my time as a fan is one I have come to remember fondly - the Chipotle game in 2015!
As terrible as the many basketball losses have been, none holds a candle to the WF football loss in 2015.

Boston College seemed to have the game in hand after getting the
ball on N.C. State's 35 following an interception with 3:08 left.
But the Wolfpack defense held, stopping Brian Toal on a fourth-down
run to get the ball back at its own 28 with 46 seconds to play.

BOSTON -- Wake Forest's defensive players knew to take their time if they got one stop because it could run out on Boston College.
They were right.
Mike Weaver kicked a 25-yard field goal after Wake Forest forced a turnover deep in Boston College's territory in the third quarter, and the Demon Deacons held on for a 3-0 victory Saturday as the clock expired on the Eagles.
BC had first-and-goal at the 1 with 29 seconds left shortly after Wake Forest quarterback John Wolford fumbled the ball with 56 seconds to play. Boston College's Tyler Rouse ran for no gain, and Jeff Smith spiked the ball as the clock hit :00.
After a replay review, the referee confirmed the game was over.
"That's Football 101. It comes with experience," Demon Deacons linebacker Brandon Chubb said. "We said that before the play: `Don't get up. They have no timeouts. Slowly get up. Don't get up until someone pulls you up."
The win snapped a two-game losing streak for Wake Forest (3-3, 1-2 ACC). The Eagles (3-3, 0-3) have lost three straight.
"I think going into the game that everybody thought this was going to be a shootout, whoever had the ball last was going to win the game," Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said, joking before praising the defenses. "Really a great, great defensive game. Both teams did everything they could to give the other team the game."
The Eagles also had a third-and-1 at the Wake Forest 8 with under two minutes left, but Troy Flutie fumbled on a sneak, the ball squirted out of the pile and defensive back Zach Dancel recovered.
Boston College's Colton Lichtenberg missed two field-goal attempts -- from 26 and 31 yards.
Weaver missed on a 43-yard attempt in the opening half.
The Eagles, who piled up easy wins over a pair of FCS schools in their first two games, came in ranked No. 1 among FBS schools with the fewest yards allowed. The Demon Deacons entered the game ranked 20th.
The Demon Deacons collected just 142 total yards. Boston College had 270.
Wake Forest's defense came into the game without collecting a turnover.
"Once you get that first turnover, there's something about it, maybe it's an icebreaker," Chubb said. "They just start coming."
BC fumbled four times, losing three, and had an interception.
Eagles coach Steve Addazio wanted to take one run before changing kickers.
"Could we have thrown the ball? Absolutely, but, you know, with our outfit right now, that was the right logic, the right judgement and that I stand by completely," he said. "It didn't pan out. It didn't work out, so it's on me. That's life. I'm a big boy, got to handle it and we'll move forward."
Early in the third, Chubb recovered Jordan Gowins' fumble at the Eagles 5. After losing two yards, the Demon Deacons settled for Weaver's decisive field goal.
Boston College drove deep into Wake Forest territory, helped by two unsportsmanlike penalties. But Lichtenberg was wide left on his 26-yard attempt and Addazio looked to the sky in disbelief.
Lichtenberg missed his 31-yarder in the final minute of the opening quarter, nailing the right upright.
It was only fitting that Wake Forest's punter Alex Kinal set a conference record for most career yards during a scoreless opening half.
The Eagles had consecutive false start penalties before getting whistled for delay of game after their first two offensive plays.
Weaver was wide right on his 43-yard try midway into the second. He was 8 of 10 on the season before the miss.
The teams traded interceptions about a minute apart near midfield early in the second, but both sides failed to get into field-goal range.
Wake Forest is at North Carolina next week. The Eagles travel to No. 6 Clemson.

the first rcc win for Tobias
In 2006 TOB was our coach and NC State beat us on a late TD. Chuck the Chest was their coach.
I remember saying to NC State fans that came over to gloat on EI that they literally hired a coach who was out coached by the one they just fired. They did not seem to understand.
Or is everyone talking about some other game that TOB beat BC as the coach of NC State which would have been a meaningless win over![]()

The best team you’ve ever had losing to a rival in overtime on a goaltend after they were up 25-9 earlier in the game? Nothing. I submit nothing. Losing to a middling FSU team a week after beating #8 VaTech in Lane was pretty nut-punchy, but after the nut punch the following week vs Maryland, you sort of forgot you got punched in the nuts before that. Nothing mutes and muffles the pain of a nut punch quite like a second punch to the nuts

I've got one. Jamie O'Leary off the cross bar against an absolutely detestable Michigan team to win the National Championship in Boston and slay the streak dragon turns into the dribbler from the corner. I don't think I've ever been angrier and I feel sorry--a little--for what happened to the Michigan prick who tried to sing Hail to the Victors in my ear outside the Penalty Box (or whatever the terrible B's themed bar was outside the TD Garden or was it still the Fleet Center then?). Modern dentistry is amazing and I think the implants he was going to need would look totally natural. From what I understand the statute of limitations on assault is only 20 years in Massachusetts, so hopefully it's all water under the bridge now. The hockey nut punches from then until Kolanos were all absolutely brutal, but the Kolanos goal dulled most of that pain.
