Packer and Durham ....


Dec 8, 2020, 12:53 PM

Those guys are hilarious and Tuesday’s with Luginbill is must watch TV.

Why does Packer call Wake “the Swiss” ?

I’ve pondered at least half a dozen reasons, but only 1 makes sense .... they are the smallest school in the conference.

But the fact that unlike every other school in the conference no one really loves or hates Wake. Like the Swiss, they are neutral, no one really cares one way or the other about them. They simply exist. So that sort of fits too and fits Packer’s oddball sense of humor. Actually that sorta fits with the fact that they are so small as well.

Or is it based on one of the many inside jokes those guys have?

He calls them the Swiss because of Switzerland’s

Stance on nearly any world event, war, etc. they have been “Neutral” or indifferent if you will. Hence, their less than fervent support for Wake Forest Athletic Teams.

Packer has always referred to Wake as the Swiss

Goes back to when he had radio show in Charlotte. I have never heard the reasoning but I would think you are not far off. No one really hates or likes Wake.

Ah, so it predates Packer and Durham.

Thanks!

I love when he tells the story about going to a football game at Clemson and how he loves the people and when he broke the news to Billy that he was going to Clemson rather than one of Billy’s beloved tobacco road schools!
