If the whole is greater than the sum of the parts is called synergy, that what is the whole is less than the sum of the parts?

Based on what I’ve seen lately, it’s Wake Forest.

And when the sum of the parts is as modest as it is these days at Wake, then what you get is a loss at Virginia by only 24 only because the coach of the other team pulled his starters midway through the second half and a 20-point home loss to Clemson, a team that hadn’t beaten Wake in Joel Coliseum since 1990, before Dave Odom got the program back up and running. Last time the Tigers won in Joel Coliseum, George Bush was in his second year as president. The first George Bush.
