James, from Raleigh, North Carolina, caught 40 passes for 401 yards in 2014, his final season with the Demon Deacons. One of James' teammates at Wake, former quarterback Tyler Cameron, was the runner-up on "The Bachelorette" last year.

Is Wake Forest a blue blood now? /s

1 - Happy to see people from my city getting notoriety for themselves for positive things.

2 - Shit, this means I'm going to be inundated with Bachelor news over the next 15 months, doesn't it

If Fuente starts losing recruits to the Bachelor, we have an answer to the "are we better off" question.

Wake Forest has a fantasy suite, we need to upgrade our facilities.

Just out of mild curiosity how could this ever be on topic? 🤔😁

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

well...because you asked.

MATT JAMES, Wake Forest WR, 2010-14: We should get a plaque or something for that. Amongst ourselves, that's something we talked about. But it goes to show any given Saturday you can win a football game.

If this is only sorta OT, then I would love to see what is fully OT. Actually, no, I would not love to see that. (I will not check replies to this for fear of mayo gifs...)

I would like to know the scaling of the OTs, but I know for sure French has been handling the fully OTs for a couple months now.

Only partially dipped so it would have to be fully dipped?

I'm actually shocked this is the first black bachelor. That show started when I was in school almost 20 years ago and it took until now (coincidence?) to get a brother as the bachelor? Have they had a black bachelorette? Crap TV will always be crap TV.

Bob: What would ya say ya do here?

Brad: I already told you! I iron out the minutiae so Justin doesn't have to. I have people skills dammit! What the hell is wrong with you people?
