Wake Forest Fans Comment on Peterson going to UNT

That's bad.

How are we losing a good coach to North Texas?

Hilarious. ACC JUST GOT OWNED! UNT, BABY!

[MeanGreenTexan]

looking at some of their comments, it sounds like they have a paper tiger as their mens b-ball coach.

It's insanely obvious at that point this point we are no longer in the Sun Belt.

I'm liking this hire just by their reactions

WF fan on RV after watching our presser:

It's refreshing to listen to an AD who cuts through the bullshit and speaks to the bottom-line goals of his program.

[eulessismore]

On page 4 of the Wake thread, "thedeacfan" references a comment that RV made at about 2:50 on the video, where Rick said something to the effect of "maybe he came here because of the AD", with said fan taking that as a statement about the Wake Forest AD. For one thing, can he not get the very strong likelihood that RV was making an attempt at self deprecating humor, rather than publicly criticize another school's AD when that (world of FBS athletic directors) is a pretty small world, with one's future employability depending at least somewhat on being respectful of an AD from another school? And for another, if the private school guys are so superior as they're always making themselves out to be, why didn't someone suggest to "thedeacfan" that it was probably just RV joking about himself, rather than airing dirty Wake Forest laundry?

Not that anyone has a monopoly on stupid fan board posts.

The posters on there are impossibly stupid. I guess every area has their LA Tech. Not to mention he probably was eager to get away from White Forest. I want to punch some of those guys in the face.

Guess they did not realize RV and Peterson worked together at TCU, do not see this as a shot at the WFU AD, although most comments by their seems to show disdain for their AD.

Well at least the first dig at NT didn't happen until page 7

"One thing that can't be overstated is how crappy of a school North Texas is. Denton, Texas isn't exactly paradise either... but I guess he'd be close enough to Dallas to commute."

[rjmunthe]

It's okay. UNT > White Forest.

Right on. Doubt he would have come if we were mired in the Sun Belt for the foreseeable future. Hiring is pretty tellimg about 2013-2014 for basketball.
