You won't find this little known fact on any shirt or towel at The Wake Forest University Bookstore, But those doggoned Demon Deacons have finally moved out of the cellar in NCAA Division I football. For a century, the worst record in history, they have figured out how to win enough games in recent years to move ahead of Kent State and Idaho. Hoo Hah!!! With 404 wins in 1,023 games, their .411 record is now better than .387 and .393 by these other 2 power houses. Of course these other 2 play in the MAC and the WAC, and have only played 800 games, so if one considers only major conferences or teams playing over 100 years, Wake Forest still owns the crown!
Maybe their win streak over the last few years can be attributed to a recent rather lame celebration after a big win, where they roll the quad with toilet paper covering the trees. Don't know why or when that started. At any rate, last year's team became the winningest senior class in Wake Forest football history. The 16 Deac seniors finished with a 32-19 record, three bowl appearances, and the 2006 Atlantic Coast Conference championship! They also whipped up on Navy in the inaugural Eagle Bank Bowl to finish it up, with a 29-19 comeback win.

Wake actually had one of their linebackers last year ( Aaron Curry ) picked #4 in the 2008 NFL Draft by Seattle. He's doing okay for them so far, with 22 tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble through the first 4 Seahawk games. Who knew???
At 3-2 this season, following last weekend's gritty win over NC State, Wake may finally be getting it figured out. QB Riley Skinner tossed his 45th TD pass in the 4th quarter, setting a new team career record, and leading the Dekes to a 30-24 victory. After the prior weekend's heartbreaking overtime loss up at Boston College, they needed this one. With another home game coming up against Maryland, they could get it rockin' in the ACC. After non-conference wins over Stanford ( a thrilling second half comeback - in the first meeting ever between these 2 schools ) and Elon ( who??? ), the season may have hope.
Well. before you head out to BB&T stadium this weekend to help kick some Terrapin tail ( against a team called the Terps, with a Turtle named Testudo for a mascot, how can you lose??? ), grab some rockin demon logo stuff for the game at
