WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Deacon fans walked with their heads down, while a handful of LSU fans rejoiced.
Thursday night a Winston-Salem watch party was packed. Every seat was taken, and the Wake Forest, Louisiana State University semi-final game was on every projector and TV.
Since the university is right down the road from Fiddlin' Fish brewery, the close game had everyone on edge.
WFMY News 2's Hannah Jeffries was interviewing Wake Forest alumni Erik Schultz when LSU won.
"Definatley stings, still remains the same, proud of our guys. I mean to be the number one team in the country for a period of time, to have the season we did, obviously hurts, but still proud of our guys," Shultz explained.
It's a bummer for Wake Forest fans, but the brewery won a title of their own tonight.
Bartender, Stephen Shelton says they usually have a big crowd for big games, but they've never experienced anything like Thursday night's turnout.
