I know it’s championship Saturday for football season, but the Deacs are finally back in the Joel for the first time in what seems like 6 months for the ACC home opener against the NC State Wolfpack. Wake has been very good at home against State in recent history, winning 5 of the last 6 matchups against the Pack in Winston Salem. So while the Pack might be the favorites, I wouldn’t bet against the Deacs. Oh and Red Panda will be throwing bowls on her head at halftime, just in case that incentivizes anyone to attend.
