Clemson is 8-7 in the ACC, and if there’s anything I’ve learned over the last two days, .500 in the ACC = GOOD TEAM.

Replying in kind isn’t the same as calling names, but please, continue to ignore what has been said to me, and what I have said and carry on with your agenda.
I looked back through the thread to see where you were called “dumb” and did not see a post in which you were “replying in kind”. If I missed it then please point it out so I can ask them to stop as well.
BTW when looking back I did notice your troll post of “Don’t tell Rick”. Given how much you are complaining about trolls it struck me as odd that you would troll.
He never called me dumb (technically), and I never called him dumb (technically). I did reply in kind, which is plain as day. You’re being obtuse if you seriously can’t make the connection between this statement:
But I’m sure it’s our fault. We’re just too dumb to understand what you’re telling us we really meant.
and this statement:
It looks like other people get what I’m saying, so maybe it’s not them, it’s just you that’s too dumb.
Also, you have got to be kidding me. Making a comment about your passion for ref bias is trolling now? I didn’t even say anything negative about you or your views. If you’re so thin skinned, I seriously apologize for offending you.
Edit: On an unrelated note, BASIC/Pascal style inequality operators are terrible.
That’s funny. I never said we were good. I was simply comparing your own contradictory statements. In one statement, you wrote NC State sucks (“If you suck, you’re never getting the benefit of the doubt…”). When it was pointed out that statement wasn’t consistent with State’s record and overall performance, to date, you softened your position in your response (“That indicates we’re not very good “) to better position your original point, which you changed. I pointed out you inconsistency, ie, sucks <> not very good. I know your type hates it when your floating arguments and inconsistencies are pointed out, so I apologize.
My statements are only contradictory to you. I was making a point about good teams getting the benefit of the doubt. You want to focus on the fact that I said “suck” in one sentence (That didn’t include the words NC State) and “not very good” in another. Who cares about the level of suck? You only care because I didn’t use exactly the same terms, and you can’t respond to anything I say on any reasonable level. The point is we’re not good.
Also, you don’t know anything about my type.
It’s hilarious that you essentially agree with me, but still want to nitpick everything I say.
Maybe all we have to do to eliminate ref bias is write a paper about it?
What I flatly reject is the idea that they come into a game looking to screw one team.
I agree with that.
Booyah! Common ground.
With regards to playing TJ more, he’s only averaging 7.7 more minutes a game this year over last year. It sure feels like he’s playing a lot more, but apparently not.
Warren’s minutes increased ~28% this season over last season, and his points increased ~92%
His posession% has increased from 18.5 to 31.9, ~72%
He did lose 20lb. apparently. I would expect that to hinder his ability to perform last year like he has this year. He certainly looks more agile.
This isn’t the monkey boards. No reason to call names. I am not sure why that is controversial to you.

Here’s the make up call.
‘foose…T’d up for political carry over.
Paki…to the line for one and a Democratic seat.
This is the best.
Tangentially related, Raymond Felton arrested on weapons charges.

Stop calling people dumb. No need for it
What are you? An ACC ref? Do you seriously not see ‘foose troll me in EVERY SINGLE THREAD I post in? Do you not see him trolling me at the top of my post that you quoted?
If the rolls were reversed, would you make the same call? Everyone knows the answer. EVeryone.
In fact,and Va,close your eyes, I think the site should drop the E
Heh.
Warren was an efficient scoring small forward with limited possesions getting most of his offense off of offensive rebounds as a freshman…
He’s still kind of that guy, only now he’s the only reliable scoring option.
We’re .500 in a weak league, have been blown out three times, and have no top 50 wins. That indicates we’re not very good by historical standards.
Not very good <> suck
Actually, I don’t think you addressed the point in the quote you referenced.
But I’m sure it’s our fault. We’re just too dumb to understand what you’re telling us we really meant.
Thanks for trolling and contributing nothing to the conversation, at least your consistent! It looks like other people get what I’m saying, so maybe it’s not them, it’s just you that’s too dumb.
Here are some questions, let’s see if you can answer them.
1) If we’re so good, why could BC beat Syracuse and we can’t?
2) Why are we ranked 81 on kenpom behind such powerhouses as Cleveland St, Iona, North Dakota St., Stephen F. Austin (WTF), Richmond, St. Mary’s, Green Bay, etc.?
3) Why do we consistently draw fewer fouls than EVERY SINGLE TEAM we play? I haven’t gone through every game, but I’d be willing to bet you could count on one hand the number of games we’ve had a higher FTR.
4) Is every single reffing crew biased against us personally?Don’t look now, but freaking Virginia is leading the ACC. Virginia. Historically mediocre Virginia. And we’re crying about the refs. Miami won the ACC last year. And we’re crying about how the refs don’t love us.
Guess which games were close in FTR? Duke and UNC. DAMN YOU AND YOUR BLUE BIAS REFS!!!!
It’s not fair, but seriously, good teams are going to get the benefit of the doubt.

Avg FTR opponents Luckie games: 70.4People are going to believe what they want to. You can pull out all the stats you want and someone is going to say “I do not care what stats you have I know the refs are not biased.” Someone else will say “just never make a mistake and you will win”.
There is enough evidence that at the very least Luckie does not like State. And I agree about the big money.
Yeah, no. You’re misconstruing the people who don’t believe the refs are biased against us. Nobody has said we have to be perfect. The simple fact is we haven’t even consistently reached the level of good. If you suck, you’re never getting the benefit of the doubt.
Outside of just the raw foul numbers, what’s the free throw rate for NC State vs. opponents for Luckie vs. non-Luckie games?
It’s curious that nobody makes claims about climate change being a fraud when the temperatures are 15 degrees above normal.
I would love to prove a bias in the ACC officiating. But I don’t think that it will be as easy to prove as a lot of people think.
Don’t tell Rick D:
And maybe so good, no one could appreciate the post, when folks are so consumed in State nihilism.
We have gazed too long into the abyss.
BC 11-22 from 3 … We all might be dead before someone witnesses State shooting 50% from 3 with 20+ attempts
In all seriousness, I think the 3 is the way, the truth, and the light in college bball. Duke has made a living there, Villanova and Wichita St. which are way better teams than us average over 20 attempts a game…..It’s the great equalizer.
The other added benefit of no tournament is that the ACC regular season games would mean more. I would also argue we’d have a more legitimate champion. The conference season is long enough anyways at 18 games. Now they’d be 18 meaningful ones.
I don’t think you can make that argument with an unbalanced schedule.
Why not split the conference in half, go 8 and 8 home and away, and let the winners from each division play a “championship”.
I don’t really count Purvis because he would have played a LOT this year, just not PG. He got a chance to run point last year, and he sucked.
Everything I’ve seen about Painter said the story behind moving for family was he wanted to play more.
