Pack/Holes “House Money” Game Thread

Much less anxious today, just want the Pack to go out there and give it their best shot. Let the chips fall where they may.

As I said before the BC game, the old adage of “it’s hard to beat the same team three times” is a load of BS. Unfortunately, that works both ways. Henson is out, though…

A few interesting points of note:

* Today is Jim Valvano’s birthday. He would have been 66 years old today.

* Tomorrow is the 32nd anniversary of Black Sunday when Duke and UNC both lost in the NCAA Tournament in Reynolds Coliseum to Penn and St. John’s, respectively.

* It was in the ACC Tournament EXACTLY 25 years ago that Jim Valvano’s NC State swept through the Big Four (Duke, Wake, UNC-CH) to win the ACC Championship in Landover, Maryland. UNC was UNDEFEATED in the ACC that year and ranked #1 in the country.

    The refs will take time away from us. You just watch

    Hell, we should have expected to get fucked by these crooked acc refs today. Just glad the announcers see it!

    Thank God being said on Espn

    This cheating sh*t has to stop. At the very least be consistent

    Anyone want to guess why UNC and Duke win all the titles?

    More talent. RIIIIIIGHT

    “Right now NC State is between a rock and a hard place.” Len Elmore. If he’s referring to the team in blue and the team in black and white, he’s correct.

    Howell was mugged motherfuckers

  7. Rick 03/10/2012 at 3:41 PM #

    Again, complete cheating.

    FOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    NCSU has no chance of ever winnning anything in this crooked conference. EVER.
    We could not leave fast enough for me. Screw the ACC and screw Swofford, screw Hess and all the crooked refs

    I wish MG takes the fine and just lays into the refs during the PC

  11. wufpup76 03/10/2012 at 3:43 PM #

    Last call no foul. The only call they got correct down the stretch against us.

  12. TLeo 03/10/2012 at 3:43 PM #

    Did manybody really expect these crappy acc officials to not find ways to screw the Pack today? At least the announcers recognize it too.

  13. JeremyH 03/10/2012 at 3:43 PM #

    guys, hands down state is the best team in the conference.

  14. Wufpacker 03/10/2012 at 3:44 PM #

    I know this isn’t very Christian of me, but when they showed the light blue clad folks in the stands, I just wanted to be able to lob a grenade in the middle of them.

    You can’t win when it’s 5-on-8.

  16. ScottieJ2000 03/10/2012 at 3:44 PM #

    Refs win again!

  17. BJD95 03/10/2012 at 3:46 PM #

    I almost hope we get shafted by the committee so the last 2 or 3 people who don’t want to leave the conference see the light. So fucking angry.

    For those of you who were watching the ACC feed, Len Elmore and Dan Schulman were incredulous at the way the game was officiated. They pointed out numerous charge/blocks that were “the same call” that ALL went the way of the Blue Bellies. The tape of that game should cost someone their job.

  19. Gene 03/10/2012 at 3:48 PM #

    Anybody of Swoffords e-mail ID. I want to us to flood his inbox with demands to withdraw from the ACC.

    This shit has to stop.

  20. woofpack 03/10/2012 at 3:48 PM #

    Such BS! Leave this waste of a conference NOW. I’ve never in my life seen such blatant favoritism in sports. This is HORSESHIT

  21. redwolf92 03/10/2012 at 3:49 PM #

    We are in…chill. Teams that have years of winning on their side get calls in this game. That ref made a terrible no call on AJ…but when we make our name known, we’ll start getting the calls.

    Lets win in 1st round, Pack

    I love the reffing is being argued nationally now.

  23. MrPlywood 03/10/2012 at 3:50 PM #

    LMAO – just got 3 emails from UNX friends (oxymoron?) who admitted that the refs sucked. They know, and they said it.

    Here’s the game that should have been (I’ll take any one called correctly):

    Marshall charge.
    Hairston (?) out of bounds.
    Howell gets fouled.

  24. BureauOfMines 03/10/2012 at 3:50 PM #

    The ACC tournament trophy should be awarded to the refs. They earned it.

    Looks like we’re really pounding the server on SFN. It’s slow responding and sometimes I get a database error.

    “The tape of that game should cost someone their job.”

    Howell will probably serve a one game suspension from the league for cursing at the end of the game.

    The ACC does not care about the job the officials do. The league office doesn’t give a shit how many calls officials blow or get wrong. The officials and by extension the league can never be wrong.
