what has the city of Wake Forest have to do with Wake Forest University? Wake Forest, NC houses a Baptist Seminary

It’s where the university was originally located, from its initial inception in 1834 until 1955.

In 1946 they agreed to move the entire university to Winston-Salem, fully completing the move in the fall of 1956:

“In 1946, as a result of large gifts from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation, the entire college agreed to move to Winston-Salem, a move that was completed for the beginning of the fall 1956 term, under the leadership of Harold W. Tribble. Charles and Mary Reynolds Babcock (daughter of R. J. Reynolds) donated to the college about 350 acres of fields and woods at "Reynolda", their estate. From 1952 to 1956, fourteen new buildings were constructed on the new campus. These buildings were constructed in Georgian style. The old campus in Wake Forest was sold to the Baptist State Convention to establish the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.”

correct but your comment was about a recent incident in Wake Forest NC....I missed the relevancy

I also thought about the moniker Tar Heel State Showdown.

You are right about Wake Forest not being in the Triangle and i was just considering that moniker when North Carolina State is the home team.

No way those 2 teams ever want a trophy with Tar Heel attached to it.

It was an incident from their 1908 meeting, the second game between the two schools. I probably should have clarified that in my initial post in the thread.
