I'm not ignoring you, I just don't know anything about this.  Seems like Ole Miss should be a good draw for Wake as a home game, and it's not like they're going to be in the playoff discussion and one more loss OOC isn't going to kill their season, so I'm not sure why they'd cancel unless there was a good reason.
Well, it wasn't directed in any person in particular, just as a general question to the group.  Usually someone here has good insights.  
The media has made out a lot about WF getting scared to play OM, but I don't buy it.  They canceled the game before their last game, I've heard two weeks before the last game.  Plus, there's a good chance Kiffin won't be there.

Oh yeah I know you weren't talking directly to me, I just felt bad that nobody had responded.

The idea that a school cancels a series because "they're scared" sounds like typical message board bulljive to me.

Like when my Aggie father-in-law saw me a couple months ago and asked me why Steve Sarkisian was getting a divorce, and if it was because his wife was hooking up with a current Longhorn player?

I just laughed and told him he spends WAY too much time on Texags. :)

Supposedly that was Jimbo Fisher's dilemma.  There was definitely something to it.  Her name?  "Candy".

I heard that rumor too.  Sounds made up to me, but truth is stranger than fiction as they say, so who knows?

Doesn't seem too far fetched.  In the SEC, good trim just means more.

I never really thought too much about it, but I did think it was true. It supposedly was one of the reasons he left Florida State.

I guess this thread's as good as any for a post of congratulations to the Vols for their 25-15 win over the Sooners tonight. So, Vols, congrats! The game wasn't as close as the scoreboard indicated, IMO.

Josh Heupel has bult a solid team in Knoxville.

Huep has done a great job.  Tennessee has improved tremendously and especially on the defensive side.  That QB you guys have is definitely your team's future.  He was finding his rhythm tonight right in front of us and in a hostile circumstance.   Ou's D is legit.  

The refs need work... why it is, year in and year out, the refs are as bad in the SEC as they are is inexcusable and beyond my comprehension.   They weren't pro one or the other as they have been from time to time but just sloppy, and weirdly assertive at key moments.  They flat blew several calls and completely missed others that could have been very pivotal.

I know you're not going to believe me, but SEC refs are a lot better than B12 refs.  It's a low bar, to be sure.

Congrats to the Vols, that's a heck of a team in Knoxville.  Condolences to the Sooners, sure was hoping Texas would be the first to beat you this season. ;)

Agree with all of that.

Without offensive improvement, OU's legit defense is going to be wasted, like the great 2009 defense was wasted because of an inept offense after Sam Bradford went down.

Yes, the officiating was frustrating--a combo of bad calls and missed calls. Not pro or con, just bad. "Welcome to the SEC," eh?

Watched the whole OU/Tenn game. It was a great game to watch. OU looks descent, Tennessee looks pretty good. Loving these SEC matchups this year.

Former Ole Miss QB under Hugh Freeze has some not nice things to say about his former coach.

Geez. It’s been too long. But there was this one ref in the Bif 12, he wore these really big glasses. Hated that freakin guy. Seems like maybe his name was Randy.
