[TDDance234]

Just bought my tickets. Can't wait!

[fanningflames]

Does anyone know what kind of Offense the deacons are using? I assume by the passing yards of the QB it is probably pro style pocket passing. Does anyone have the inside word on their offense?

[Rooster Cogburn]

Still hoping to go but not in a position to buy tix yet. Gonna be huge.

[jcmanson]

I found some online for $9. I've always been a firm believer in buying from the ticket office, but still it's hard to drop $21 extra per ticket.

[TH Spangler]

Deacon tickets are not a hot item? They depend heavily on visitors to fill up the away side. NC State can do it .... and App State can come close.

Where online?

[TH Spangler]

Stubhub .... The cheap seats (AAA-NNN) are in the noise bleed section. There is no balcony, so the top seats are way back. I guess you can move after the game starts ... if it's not full.

Rick-EE Bob-BEE!

[TH Spangler]

And I promised myself I would never go to another NASCAR race ......

[jcmanson]

I actually got tickets in row O for $9

[TH Spangler]

Those should be real good .... see you there.

[Kolzilla41]

I'm about to buy 4 seats in section 14, right behind the bench in Row B (2nd row) for $27.19 a piece, including StubHub's fees. I think I might do this over Liberty's seats. Any thoughts?

[PAmedic]

ok... now it makes more sense.

Does WF really have a 5'1" RB and a 6'10" CB?

Come on Sly, you're better than that.

5'1" 210 lb. is pretty stout for a RB.

With one of the ACC’s top quarterbacks in junior Tanner Price returning, Wake Forest could get to a bowl again. But there are questions that need to be answered for the Deacons, who will begin preseason practice Monday and open at home against Liberty on Sept. 1:

I'm looking for a low scoring game ..... 17-10 or something like that? Two good defenses going at it?

Yeah ... that's kinda like the glass half full discussion .... Offense is big for both teams.

I wonder if the LU band is going to make this trip?

[NJLibertyboy]

As of right now I do not believe the band is making the trip.

[BJWilliams]

Im doing a piece on the band for Liberty.edu on Monday so I can confirm that then
