Jim Grobe is running the Wake Forest football program like a well-oiled machine

Most coaches are busy cramming every bit of preparation they can into their charges heads during the brief window the NCAA allows for spring practices. When they're not doing that they're darkly implying that anyone who shows up in the fall with even a little bit of extra weight is going to sent to the special Margaret Cho room they keep in the dungeon below the weight room and forced to watch "I'm The One That I Want" until they pass out from the pain. At the very least they're, you know, at practice. But not Jim Grobe!

Practices start at varying times, if at all. For the second straight season the Deacons didn't use all their 15 days allotted by the NCAA.

Some players are overweight. The coaches say they won't worry about the extra baggage until preseason practices begin in August.

Coach Jim Grobe is rarely on hand when practices do begin. He'll emerge from his office at some point, shake hands and exchange pleasantries with those fans who have dropped by and entertain any questions the media might have.

Sweet fancy Moses. I'm already slightly fearful of Grobe -- anyone who can win the ACC at Wake Forest with a backup quarterback can probably kill me with the power of his mind -- and now I have to process this information. Practice? Whatever! Let's, like, run some crazy trick plays and stuff. Maybe I'll check it out if I wake up in time, but I'll definitely be rocking my PJs and carrying Agent Butterstone, Ninja Bear Secret Agent. I'm Jim Grobe, MFers!

The ACC must have REALLY been having a down year last year for WF to win the championship.

I can't imagine that going over too well in the SEC.

He was supposedly on the list for the Alabama job. Alabama fans would have been apoplectic over this kind of routine.

Imagine when he came out and said "This year we are going to have the A-day game without pads. We just really don't want to work the guys too hard and risk injury."

Grobe and staff are the best in the ACC. Hands-down. If you watch WF play, they rarely make mistakes, so even with limited talent they are almost always competitive.

How they get it done? Who knows, and who cares...the result truly is a "well-oiled machine" on the field and that's all that should matter.
