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.

    I’ve said it on other occasion and say it again….Gottfried should publicly rip these crooked Bast###ds and dare that prick Swofford to fine him . If he tries to, then tell that crook to stick his fine up is ### and refuse to pay it
    It is way past time to get out of this crooked conference. The other schols have to be tired of this crap too!

    My daughter said at the end, “Daddy, I’m only 4 and I know they’re crooked.”

    Somebody on this board start an online petition against acc officiating… everyone here will sign it and send links to all their non-blue acc friends. This has to end. I did not expect to win today, but we clearly were the better team.

    We should tape over the “ACC” on the back of the jerseys during the tourney

  7. vtpackfan 03/10/2012 at 3:55 PM #

    Everyone should email Yow and Woodson and say Red Means Go! This is all that can be taken, its college athletics and its not worth playing with this faggot led Chapel Hill Cabal.

    Thank you ESPN for defending the obvious. Digger Phelps….FU. Your to stupid to know there has to be a call on that play. Charge or block.

    NCSU has been screwed for YEARS by ACC refs – always against UNC and Duke, sometimes against other teams.
    For years, NCSU is so bad that it doesn’t really matter.
    Now – we are actually a good team. We played better today (except for Scott Wood).
    We should have won today. ESPN thinks the officiating was terrible at the end of the game.

    GO Florida State.

    IF we didn’t have Gott, don’t think we would ever EVER have a commentator arguing on our behalf like at the end of this one.

  11. TLeo 03/10/2012 at 3:57 PM #

    Still proud of this team for not quitting! Keep your heads up and go play the tourney with a huge chip on your shoulders and show how good you can be when you get fair officials.

    “GolenbockHater” — LMAO at yer ID.

    Here’s hoping Golenback dies alone, drunk, vomits in his sleep and strangles.

  13. GolenbockHater 03/10/2012 at 3:58 PM #

    State, WF, and Clemson should head for the SEC. Clemson already has a rival and we’ll take WF in with us. Maybe FSU could follow as well.

  14. state73 03/10/2012 at 3:58 PM #

    F**K the refs and KH. F**K ROY Williams. F**K the ACC. WOLFPACK was the better team today. We are proud of you.

    I don’t legitimize this as a loss.

    They fouled out our best player on 2 phantom calls with 8:00 left.

    Then we still had a chance and they fucked us at every fucking opportunity. I’m sick of the fucking ACC.

    They fucked us in the ass like that when we played duke too. This is a goddamn fucking outrage. Fuck the goddamn ACC and their bullshit fucking pussy refs.

    The outcome was decided before the game started. The only unknown was whether it would be the players or refs contributing to the Carolina win.

    I would like a massive secession out of the ACC and have the 2 blue teams with their legions of homosexual alumni and redneck wal mart fans left to fight over who gets their cock sucked by the espn crews.

    Just want to say thanks to the Pack and Gott for giving us a great season of basketball. Even if we get shafted and don’t make the tourney I will say this was the best year of basketball I have seen in a long time.

    To the zebra’s and the blue’s just go to hell, we will be back and at some point no matter what you do it won’t matter.

    And if we make the tourney I hope we get one more shot at UNC…GO PACK!!!

  17. vtpackfan 03/10/2012 at 4:00 PM #

    Gott told media “he won’t say anything because he WOULD be fined”. So It’s up to Yow to go to bat and Al Capone somebody.

  18. JeremyH 03/10/2012 at 4:01 PM #

    I am very excited about looking at who we are matched up against in the NCAA tournment : D

  19. redwolf92 03/10/2012 at 4:01 PM #

    So impressed at how we out played UNX in the transition today. HATE to lose, but wow…

  20. GolenbockHater 03/10/2012 at 4:01 PM #

    BreauOM… I was at state when that book came ou,t and that man’s lies put us where we are sitting here today.

    Yes there were bad calls, but that is NOT why we lost the game. Missed free throws and Woods/Williams poor offensive performance. Hit our FTs and Wood hits a three and we win. Spare me the conspiracy theories. If we take care of business, we win – plain and simple.

  23. gtspack 03/10/2012 at 4:03 PM #

    I wish Richard H. would have beat the s#@t out of the ref.

  24. redwolf92 03/10/2012 at 4:04 PM #

    Agree with you 84. Cant believe how far we’ve come in 12 months. So happy with Gott.

  25. Texpack 03/10/2012 at 4:05 PM #

    84 I disagree. If the game is fairly officiated we win by 10. The missed FT’s don’t even matter because it’s not even a close game.
