Rejoice! Larry Rose Retiring! (& More Zebra Talk)

In the middle of this past basketball season I asked my buddy if he had noticed that ACC fixture, Larry Rose, didn’t seem to be officiating as many games as he did in the past. (Don’t worry…nobody was complaining about the development) I knew that Rose was no longer allowed to officiate NC State games [...]

EXCLUSIVE: SFN Tommy Hunt Interview

Jeff asked for it, so The Giant responds. On September 12, SFN interviewed ACC coordinator of football officials Tommy Hunt regarding ACC officiating, the NC State/Akron controversy, and other subjects. The transcript appears below: SFN: Thank you for meeting with us today, Mr. Hunt. Hunt: Eating? I ain’t eatin’ with you. It’s only 9 AM. [...]

Hunt: Contradictions & ‘Running Pictures’

I tried to stay above the fray. I really did. Go back and read SFN’s comments on the topic. Note that we were very careful to focus on the failure to use replay and didn’t harp on the result of the replay; which…upon further review…indicated that Akron’s running back failed to score a touchdown on [...]

Why Does Instant Reply Exist if it Isn’t Used?

Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe [...]

Scandal Over, UNC Wants To Grow Athletics Revenue to $100 Million

by Alpha Wolf

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 [...]

UNC Administrator, to victim: “Rape is like football”

by StateFans

This is truly abhorrent. Many folks call The Carolina Way a myth — but it’s not. Believing a myth can be innocent, borne of ignorance. In fact, The Carolina Way is a giant, perpetuated lie that has bred a culture that believes no ethical or moral sacrifice is too great to ensure athletic superiority. The [...]
