While watching the NCSU vs VT game I noticed there was a lack of flow to the game because of the constant whistles and foul calls. I have been watching a lot of non-ACC games (because ACC basketball is so ugly) and have noticed officials in those games seem to let them play and only […]
ACC
To State, This ACCT Matters
So, with damaging losses to Clemson, Georgia Tech and Stanford, and without any resume-building wins, and after one of the least entertaining regular seasons in ACC history, and with Thursday’s slate of rematches poised to be completely unwatchable, here we are: to State, this ACC Tournament very much matters. After the loss at Clemson, our […]
O’Brien Obviously Can’t Schedule OOC Games…
Well, this just tears it. About a week ago we got out first glimpse at the much-awaited 2012 NC State football schedule. This obviously sparked a lot of good (and bad) conversation. I was personally outraged! (I mean, I wasn’t “outraged”, but that’s going to make this article a lot more exciting.) An FCS opponent, […]
Leslie & Brown Named To All-ACC Team
The All-ACC teams were announced today and NC State’s C.J. Leslie was named to the All-ACC 2nd team and Lorenzo Brown was 3rd team. FIRST TEAM Tyler Zeller, North Carolina (186) Mike Scott, Virginia (184) John Henson, North Carolina (170) Austin Rivers, Duke (164) Harrison Barnes, North Carolina (153) SECOND TEAM Kendall Marshall, North Carolina […]
Further proof of officiating deterioriation
The precipitous decline in college basketball officials’ ability to call the most basic violation in basketball – the travelling violation – is a topic we have discussed here for years. So, I couldn’t resist an entry this morning when I came across the video below that highlights both the utter incompetence of ACC (and college […]
2011-12 ACC Honors (BJD’s “Ballot” on Behalf of SFN)
I do this every year, and bubble fever has me enthused enough to do it again. But yes, I am still steamed about how the ACC promotes only the blues (and mangled l’affaire de Hess), and very much would like to join the SEC as soon as humanly possible. That said, here are my votes: […]
Wolfpack Women upset top-seeded Duke in ACC Tournament
Today Coach Kellie Harper’s team upset the top seed in the ACC Tournament, Duke, 75-73. After coming back from a halftime deficit for the first time all year yesterday in defeating Florida State 74-71, the Wolfpack women won the right to play the ACC’s top seed with a gaudy 15-1 conference regular season record. History […]
A Closer Look At ACC Football Openers (On The Road…Again)
While the March Madness of college basketball is almost upon us, the ACC football schedules also came out this week. There has also been discussion lately about favortism in the ACC both here on the blog and the forums. With that in mind, let’s fast forward to the early part of the football season and […]
ACC Attendance Declining
I have written several articles lately about ACC officiating bias. Here is an article that talks about how ACC basketball game attendance is dropping. IMO the two subjects are related. The article explains: As a whole, the ACC is averaging 9,406 fans through Wednesday. It would be the lowest average for the league since the […]
NCSU is not alone in our disgust at the Duke/UNC double standard
Other people are beginning to tire of the obvious “kid glove” treatment Duke and UNC have been receiving by the ACC. It is a subject that has been discussed on our blog many, many times. In this article in the Augusta Free Press, Chris Graham makes many of the same observations we have made. […]
