Summary

Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson thought something was up when the Louisville defense read the Demon Deacons’ plays like they knew what was coming — even with plays Wake Forest had never used before. Teams have had spies for as long as college football has existed, but Wake was dealing with something entirely new: The plays were being stolen by someone standing on their own sideline.

0:00.0	Hi, full cast friends. A special surprise for you on the feed today. It's the WakyLeaks episode of It's Seemed Smart.
0:06.8	My co-host Spencer Hall's fun new podcast about so many dumb things that people in and around sports decide would be smart.
0:15.6	As this episode discusses the events of WakyLeaks helped lead to one of the most iconic sad dumb images in college football history,
0:23.6	that's right. Frank Beamer raising his hands in triumph with the score 0-0 below him.
0:29.8	God, it will live forever in my heart, my cold dead heart. We hope you enjoy listening to it features several members of prominent North Carolina Twitter,
0:38.9	and of course our mostly tame bear Spencer Hall.
0:45.2	On November 14th, 2014, the Wake Forest demon Deakins hosted the Virginia Tech Hokies for a college football game in Raleigh, North Carolina.
0:53.7	Thanks Tom fans out early this morning on a beautiful sunny day in Winston, Salem, North Carolina.
0:58.8	Virginia Tech comes to town looking for a win trying to become bowl little jable for the 20 second straight E.
1:06.7	This game did not decide a championship for either team. It didn't get either team to a bowl game.
1:12.1	No records were set. No legendary moments happened. If anyone talks about this game, they talk about it because the opposite was true.
1:24.3	Both teams traded punts and turnovers. Wake Forest tried two field goals and they missed both. Virginia Tech was worse.

1:37.4	They've been playing ACC football since 1953. This is the only game that ended in regulation at 0-0. The only one.
1:44.4	When Wake Forest missed a game-winning field goal at the end of the second half, the lasting image is grim football comedy.
1:51.6	I asked North Carolina to talk Radio host Joe Ovis and reporter Lauren Brownlow about it.
1:56.6	They remember the lasting image from the game that came to be called 0-0. Well.
2:13.7	And just that moment at the end of the game where Wake's kicker normally very good, by the way,
2:18.8	Mrs. Field goal that he should have made. Mike Weaver and you see Frank Beamer like holding his hands.
2:26.1	Hi, at the 0-0 regulation tie. You know, it just was like wow, the his joy at that moment.
2:32.8	There are no ties anymore in college football.
2:36.1	Even in a game like this where no one wanted to win or lose, Virginia Tech missed their second field goal in overtime.
