Oh look, Technician suddenly has time to write articles!…and, they are just my ‘favorite’ kind of articles where some douchebag who doesn’t know jac[See the full post at: Oh look, Technician suddenly has time to write articles! F’ OFF!]
Two points:
1. It could be true that both the refs and State blew it Wednesday night. You don’t have to choose between one or the other. Basketball is a dynamic event. There’s a lot of variables in play. This argument is getting stale. Let’s move on and cheer for a win over Miami.
2. Please take this post down. You’re ripping a future alumnus–very bad form. In fact, you’re proving his point with your name-calling and general curmudgeonly attitude. This post is an embarrassment to our fan base.Are you on crack MARinRVA?
It is bad form for us to rip a single future alumnus while that alumnus rips tens of thousands of current alumni and even more in the NC State community?
Any people wonder why we are so mismanaged and screwed up with logic like that?
I’m so tired of people who are embarrassments to our fan base talking about other people being embarrassments to our fan base!! 🙂
Leave this thread up (and the other one, too). The Technician doesn’t have the right to take a swing at Wolfpack supporters. F that! Who let that little Olberman submit this turd?
Let’s turn a negative into a positive…
That’s what, as “mentors” to future generations of Wolfpackers should do….Let’s send Ric over to the Student Center and let him show ’em how to do it right!
(and yes… some might consider that move the proverbial ‘killing two birds with one stone’ )Besides how many of us …. came damn close to flunking English 110/111/112 and turned every assignment in on time for four years?
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!I’d say if you took those 3 semesters of English and turned in every assignment for 4 years, you flunked a bunch of them…And probably after they quit giving F’s for 2 misspelled words and a D for 1.
But you had to be persistent to do it for 4 years…
"Whomp 'em, Up, Side the Head"!

Bill,
If I was a more sensitive man I would think you are trying to get rid of me.As for putzie the mental diarrhea monster, he should stick top his ‘homework’ i am guessing involves buds, paper and X- box
But the writing was on the wall when North Carolina Central came into PNC and beat the Wolfpack back in November. It was on the wall when the Pack traveled to cellar-dweller Wake Forest Jan. 15 and lost on a last-second layup.
You mean the game we lost because traveling wasn’t called on that last second layup? And the game where State was called for 31 fouls and Central shot 45 free throws? In an article saying we shouldn’t complain about the officiating? Oh, OK.
I graduated 2002 and the Technician had already started to fall apart at that time. Yes, you can say that we (as a fan base) blame the ref’s for our losses! You can also say that we need to recruit better talent, you can also say that we need to recruit a better coach, you can also say that we need a better A.D.! I personally think we have done that and we have played at a higher level but it starts to wear on everyone when you see the same failing result year after year. Your competition gets away with athletes in non-existent classes, their coaches get away with cussing out the officials during games, and recruiting is regulated to the letter unless your team wears blue. I am anxious to see what Bohiem (I apologize for spelling) says after his first year in the ACC! He spoke out feverishly about having to come to the biased ACC and now he may be our best spokesman even after the fact that we were at the wrong end of a game deciding call against him! I may be out of line but I grew up a State fan from early on and with that I have pulled for a lot of underdogs and it made me fight harder in my life to achieve what I have and for that I am gracious but that doesn’t excuse the fact that grown men with no connection to our college students/athletes have an unfair influence over their college experience!
FYI to mods, I’m betting that JustJim is a newly minted uNX troll. If so, well done on his part for being able to get someone to help him through the sign up process.
Come on… Ric….
It’s just a man of your talents needs to work where he can coach young people to follow their dreams.
Not a lot of that around here… you know.Besides…. it would just be a part time gig….
You could drop around over here anytime…. as long as the bossman wasn’t looking…..
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!A Facebook friend of mine who used to write for the Technician when he was in school posted this, and somebody responded with the following:
“More importantly, this douche wasn’t even AT THE GAME. He was too intoxicated in line before doors opened, so, security cut off his wristband and denied him entry. Because we all need THAT kind of person telling us about the game, and what kind of fans we should be.”
It’s gossip from a friend of a friend, so take that for what it’s worth. Given that article though, I don’t doubt it.
^That reminds me of concert reviews I wrote for the Technician back in the day. I argued with many “editors” who, having not seen the events, felt compelled to rewrite my articles with abandon, drastically altering the original intent of my words. Granted, they were students too, but since then I’ve had the pleasure to work with a real editor who would not dare to rewrite or even suggest specific words or phrases, but instead knew how to help me refine me work and retain my vision. Night and day.
I have to admit, I have never before wanted NC State to leave the ACC, but after that game, I want Debbie to walk in to Swofford’s office and tell him “one more game like that and NC State will find another home. Fix the problem or we’re gone. Period.” I’m fed up with it. I despise people whining about officiating being the reason they lost, but this is ridiculous. We’re playing 5 on 8 in these games and everybody watching the game is seeing the same thing. Hell, even the Carolina fans aren’t bragging about this game because they know they were gifted the win.
Look at the UNC/Duke game. UNC shoots 31 free throws and Duke shoots 12. Really??? I watched that game with my Carolina grad wife and with no dog in the fight thought “damn, Duke is getting hosed.” I don’t care who wins that game, but it looked like somebody decided who SHOULD win the game before it started.
I was AT the 2012 ACC tourney game against UNC (with my wife….) and remember the feeling watching the end of that game thinking it was rigged. Had the same thought watching that train wreck earlier this week and I’m sick of it. I don’t care at this point if we join the friggin’ MEAC at this point, but if Swofford continues to allow this “all things Carolina” crap to continue, we need to find another home somewhere.
Don’t forget that only two years ago ACC head of officials, John Clougherty said, “Historically, even looking back to when Dean Smith coached, UNC has just been a team that doesn’t foul that much,’’
I think that article is pretty much on point and some here have gotten way off the mark. These days I rarely post and for the most part don’t even read the comments on this site.
Delete the negative comment if you wish – no skin off my back. It is pretty likely I’ll quit coming here anyway.
No discussion about the joke that is ACC officiating is complete without a mention of The Infamous ACC Index Card.
