**** sure glad we have the Louck.

College football always gives us plenty to chew on, but this time, it might have outdone itself.

Have you heard the one about the former Wake Forest assistant football coach-turned-radio announcer who allegedly leaked details about the Demon Deacons’ game plans to its opponents?

It’s crazy. It’s also true. The announcer, Tommy Elrod, who played football at Wake Forest in the 1990s, has been fired.  

The questions and concerns he leaves behind are numerous, and troubling. Were students, alumni, fans, sponsors and all the participants on the field duped into believing they were watching (or playing in) an honest competition, when they perhaps were not? Did Elrod, who headed to the broadcast booth after being fired as a coach in 2013, mete out a unique form of revenge on the athletic department that got rid of him?

 

Did Wake lose games it might have won had Elrod not had open access to practices and playbooks?

 

And, what about the student-athletes themselves? As Winston-Salem Journal columnist Scott Hamilton appropriately asks: “How many of the 91 times battered quarterback John Wolford was sacked were at least assisted by a little inside information?”

I'm sure it's all Bobby Petrino's fault.

Not just a coach. He was a player then a coach then a color analyst for Wake Forest. Seemed to have some vitriol against the new coach because he did not keep him on staff when he came on. This guys was an Alumni through and through and sold his school down the river.

You mean requote the entire article?  Someone evil in my opinion.

What does this mean? Did I break a code violation by posting a complete article? Just curious.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
