And these guys think they’re demons?! (LMAO)
The No. 5 Ole Miss Rebels absolutely destroyed the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 40-6, when the two teams met up Saturday. Just hours after the game, Wake Forest hilariously cancelled their 2025 contest against the Rebels.
Both universities are scheduled in a home-and-home series, and their next installment was supposed to be Sept. 13, 2025. However, the game next year will no longer be happening, as Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin told reporters while speaking with them that Wake Forest has chosen to “buy out” the 2025 contest.

According to a report from Brett McMurphy of Action Network, the Demon Deacons will be forced to dish out cancellation fees that total $1 million.
The move isn’t just embarrassing for Wake Forest either, but also an inconvenience for Ole Miss as the 2025 game would’ve fulfilled their SEC mandate to square off against a team from a power conference — something they have to do at least once per season.
Wake Forest cancels 2025 game at Ole Miss, buying out of 2nd game in home/home series. Wake Forest must pay $1 million cancellation fee. Ole Miss won at Wake 40-6 Saturday

As somebody who grew up in Virginia, had North Carolina as some of my stomping grounds and having family in Winston-Salem (hell, I have family that went to Wake Forest), this is extremely disappointing to see. I mean, come on, how do you respond to a blowout loss with some weak ish like this?
Terrible, just terrible!
