Wake Forest Radio Play by Play guy was a spy

[Magua]

If you're an opposing coach what can the radio PBP guy for Wake Forest possibly provide that you can't figure out on your own watching tape? Unless the radio guy is filming practices during game week install, it'd seem to me relying on unverifiable info could possibly be a bigger detriment than just preparing against what you know.

It's like standing in the batters box against a pitcher and having your teammate on second steal signs from the catcher. If your teammate guesses correct maybe you increase your odds of getting a hit by 10 or 15%. But if your teammate winds up being fucking wrong you're the one taking a fastball in the ear.

This is a former player, former coach, who had access to coaches meetings and practices. He basically watched them prepare and sat in on meetings every week and then gave up the gameplan to opposing teams. Apparently he had an axe to grind because they did not retain him as a coach previously.

You have to wonder about the integrity of the other staffs if they did use it.

Guarantee there will be a gambling aspect tied to this story.

You should have said "I bet there will be...."

As it is, what are your odds that there will be a gambling aspect?

Seems a bit low to me. I think 10 will get you one here.

Hadn't considered the betting angle before it was mentioned. But yeah, that could have been a perfect scenario to make bank. Keep it under the radar in terms of wager size and it's a nice cash flow.

I'm not a betting type so I don't know what's available in terms of data... but it would be interesting to see how Wake did against the spread over the past few years. Does such data exist in an easily extractable way?

Why would anyone want/need intel on Wake? It's like the U.S. getting intel on Aruba.

Not sure what the problem is with wanting more intel on Aruba.

Looks a bit tight to me, which is just how I like...oh, are there kites and flags in that picture?
