ACC Tourney

[wildturkey]

How much of the game did you watch? Why in the world would our bigs have been in foul trouble if they wanted to make sure we played Duke in the championship? Pretty sure if the refs wanted us and Duke in the championship the games then Duke would have won and we would have won by more than two...If the conspiracy theories explain these things i would love to hear.

Ever heard of a joke?

You may have been joking, but there are several people who believe that the ACC was trying to make sure Duke and Carolina played in the Championship game.

There are a LOT more than "several people" who believe that's been the case for decades, despite the efforts of Duke and UNC fans to claim there's no truth to it.

By my count, there's 10 fan bases worth of people that think so.


Props to FSU for winning the title. And I'm glad NC State made the Big Dance. They were the last team announced. I think we can all say being on the bubble sucks, especially when it burst. I bet NC State was about to throw up waiting on their name to get called

Yeah, everybody thats not a duke or carolina fan in the ACC. But, the refs didnt do everything they could to help carolina win that game. Everyone makes it sound like they did, but the officiating was honestly really bad the entire game and happened to favor us at the end.

I am shocked. Refs suck but favor UNC and Duke at the end? Never heard that before.

ACC refs also use foul language

1. I was on the road yesterday, but Bill Roth had a great call of the game! Kind of confused why Tech's IMG was the only broadcast in Charlottesville, but it was indeed great listening.

2. Hurray Football School!

3. Really glad to see State make the field, after our past experiences. Given their ACC bubble status and my coworkers from State, I'm adopting them just for the tourney, and obviously hoping the whole ACC collects tons of monetary units to share.

4. LMAO @ the refs.

Duke couldnt have made it any easier for us on Friday, but we didnt want it I guess...oh well. Disappointing season, but as others have said, at least there is promise for next season....shit now what am i going to watch until September???

*Spring practice reports
*Spring Game televised on ESPN3 - Sat., Apr. 21 at 4 p.m.

Then we hit the three month summer doldrums...no wind in the football sails until the beginning of Fall practice in August

We beat UVA on the road once and lost to them by 1-run in the other two games. Not too shabby.

Both late runs by Virginia too. I don't think UVa is as strong this year, but they're still pretty good. That home series streak will end soon, just wish it was us to end it.

And they'd probably have a pretty good case...

Random stat:
We beat three tournament teams this year. St Bonnie, Norfolk State and UVA.

Last year we beat three tournament teams but had four wins against tournament teams.
Duke, FSUx2, Penn State

Not really...

Spoken like a true UNC homer.

By the way, you won't find much love for UNC or Duke outside the ACC either.

FWIW UVA only beat two tournament teams: Michigan and NC State
