You have to hand it to UNC: those guys have unmitigated gall. Before their new chancellor has her first day on the job, and before lame-duck Chancellor Holden Thorp can announce whatever his “blue-ribbon” panel led by led by Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, has come up with, UNC athletic director [...]
Gee, why do State fans complain about ACC officiating?
Anyone who has ever watched an NC State game, please tell me how many times do you think Richard Howell would get away with this? I guess John Clougherty and the ACC officials haven’t yet identified this tendency from Miami. I can’t wait for some jack ass to tell me how State should just do [...]

Thursday Basketball Bytes – Stanford, Officials, UNC & polls
I apologize that we didn’t have more on the Wolfpack’s big win over Stanford yesterday. The real world evidently was calling on all of our author group. A lot of fans found what they were looking for on on our message forums. The following is a nice set of highlights from the game. There are [...]
Demise began long before the punt return
As you can tell, we are still too depressed to spend much time harping on the dagger to the heart that we took yesterday. I am still emotionally and physically drained. ‘Miserable’ would be the more accurate description right now. With this said, I am going to take a moment to turn your attention to [...]
A Lifetime ACC Fan’s Perspective on ACC Officiating
It’s a sad thing : the ACC apparently doesn’t even realize that it is killing its own brand. The ACC is a basketball conference first and foremost, and despite expansions designed to enhance football, the heart and the soul of the nearly seventy year old league is hoops. And the ACC is killing hoops, little [...]
Referee Comparison by School
Earlier I looked at how the ACC referees called ACC compared to other conferences. Now I would like to look at how the referees call games within the conference. I compiled some statistics that I would like to share. Here is my attempt at a chart to make it easier to see. A few things [...]
Chronicling the incompetence…turning the page
I hope that after this entry we will be turning the page to bubble talk and hopefully NC State’s impending bid to the 2012 NCAA Basketball Tournament. Before we do, I wanted to quickly consolidate some of the national and local media reviewing & discussing yesterday’s debacle in Atlanta so that we can go back [...]
2 media report ACC referee tells Coach Gottfried “Shut your fucking ass up” during UNC game
Around 3:05pm on Saturday afternoon – deep in the the second half of the ACC Tournament semi-final game that saw significant national criticism befall the Atlantic Coast Conference officiating crew who called 42 phenomenally inconsistent fouls – I got a couple of strange tweets come through our SFN Timeline. Someone had re-tweeted a tweet from [...]
ACC to disband the ACC basketball tournament. Annual Duke/UNC third time around game announced.
They might as well make it official. That was beyond bias. It was outright crooked. Karl Hess got his revenge. If you don’t follow our twitter feed then you really need to check it out. SFN was ALL OVER many of the local and national media’s admittance of ACC officiating bias and incompetence today. Link [...]
