I always think that’s an oxymoron.

In the case of Wake Forest, many decades ago (I think sometime around WW I or WW II), they beat Duke (then Trinity) in basketball and the local press described them as having played like demons in their win. Apparently, in spite of or because of their religious affiliation, they seem to have playfully evolved that into Demon Deacons.
