21 Officials Calling the Sweet 16 are Primary or Secondary ACC Officials


RE: 21 Officials Calling the Sweet 16 are Primary or Secondary ACC Officials



Can you provide the link to that?

A fact covered on the Dave Glenn show about 2pm. He made a big deal out of it due to everyone crying about refs. So if you don't believe Mr. Glenn I can't help. Don't have time to research for the link you need so will you take an IOU? @;~)

He probably then went on to talk about the "lovely and talented Maria", and mentioned several times that he was a lawyer, and that he has been covering the ACC for 20 some years and knows more about the ACC than anyone else. The guy was good when he was a guest on other people's shows, but since he has gotten his own show he is intolerable. I can't believe they got rid of Bomani Jones for that blow hard. Thankfully they don't play his show till 7 pm here in Charlotte and provide better options for sports radio during the day.

DG isn't bad - but then again I don't really have a lot to compare it too as far as local sports radio goes - I like the show because its locally topical but I could really do without the incessant adds about feeding the pig, Rebbecca Romaine loves helping needy children, and that'snotcool.whatever.

Also - they didn't get rid of Bomani - he got promoted to the SHOW! He's got his own nationally syndicated radio show (on satellite I think) and he's showing up on ESPN a lot these days - Go JONES!

When his show first started I listened every day and he gradually began to get under my skin till I couldn't stand the sound of his voice anymore. I didn't know that about Bomani, that's great. I know alot of State fans couldn't stand him but I thought he was hilarious. Him and Packman were my guys that I listened too every day, now they both are gone from the local markets. Taylor Z isn't too bad and at least QCB is still there. Guess DG is kind of like Rome, either you love him or you hate him.

RE: 21 Officials Calling the Sweet 16 are Primary or Secondary ACC Officials



So wait, a second, wasn't the point of you starting this thread to essentially say that State fans are the only ones with problems with ACC officials? But now you are changing your tune and agreeing that officials of this conference are bad??? Make up your mind. 
- Posted by The Dire_Wolf
I actually think the officials are missing so many calls because they are fatigued. I'm not the team with an AD and a coach calling out the officiating nor a fanbase going nuts over officiating being set up by John Swofford to keep the Pack down. Slow down there Sparky and read Mr. Cuss's post, about too much being let go, to much physical play, and fans being mean and nasty. Dude, that's in every conference. He's making a different point from me in that I'm focusing on the mass mob hysteria that Wolfpack fans foment tht the refs are in some secret agreement with Swofford to keep the Pack down and that refs have some silent vendetta code due to Karl Hess. So my mind is fine there Mr. DireWolf.

But you are part of the fan base that flamed out over the the creighton game, and you are part of the fan base sent that poor kid horrible, horrible messages on his twitter account and threatened his life. Glass houses. 
- Posted by The Dire_Wolf
You better check yourself Sparky. I did not flame out over Creighton and stunned you are trying to throw me in that group. I said the foul on Zeller should have been flgrant ejection and the foul on Kendall maybe a flagrant. They were both hard fouls. I can show you at least two posts where I talked about the officials letting things get out of hand by not calling fouls in the beginning. Hate to tell you but you are Red Raging on this one and that is sad. Also can show you the post where I CONDEMNED ANY COMMENT OF HARM TO THE KID that made the foul. You want me to classify you with the NCSU fans that wanted to lynch Ty Lawson? Nope, did not think so. It would be fine with me if they arrested everyone of those folks and threw them in jail for libel and making threats of harm. No glass house here dude. I think YOU need to realize that I, nor you, can control every fan that is a raving lunatic. That's why I classify you guys in two categories, RED RAGERS, and Wolfpups. RED RAGERS are the ones thinking there is a super secret society that is headed by John Swofford and bent on total ruination of the Pack. Bet I've called out more TROLLS on here than anyone, including my own fanbase. Seen very few on here call out Marco, DebbieSac, and some of the other nutjobs in the Pack fanbase.

Hold your horses there ghost. You post this: "I'm not the team with an AD and a coach calling out the officiating nor a fanbase going nuts over officiating being set up by John Swofford to keep the Pack down", then you get your panties in a wad when I include you along with your lunatic fringe. You can't have it both ways bro-sef. Look, I'm not trying to pick I fight with you, but I can only look past contradictions for so long and not speak up. It seems that all you do is flame on State fans, the AD and players. Perhaps I need to dub you a "Blue Veiner" (a thf that has a hard on for all things Wolfpack).

OK let's try this again...
Fact: Gottfreid made a comment about getting "fresh refs".
Fact: Debbie Yow sends a letter to the commish about refing and Roys BB gun comment. The comments and letter continue to stir up the worst reactions.
Fact: The number of posts from nutjobs coming out of the woodwork after the Pack loss about a Swofford referee conspiracy was off the charts. It dominated the talk forums for days.
Fact: Many Pack fans feel robbed after the last UNC game.
Fact: ACC refs (primary and secondary) are calling Sweet 16 games. These are the same refs that a plethora of Pack fans believe are in cahoots with Karl Hess to get back at NCSU.
Theory: If the Pack loses to Kansas or UNC and an ACC ref makes a tough call that does not go the way the Wolfpups sees it, there will be a riot. Modification: "...nor many in the fanbase..." (I usually catch that) Decision: You can condemn them, ignore them, or join them, your choice. Fact: I condemned the stoopid twitter posts by those in my fanbase. Fact: Red Rage exists because it's base belief is HATE on players and fans. (Note: Danl "HATES" Henson the "punk". Fact: There are Dark Blue and Sky Blue Ragers. Fact: Refing has a subjective edge to it, and not all calls are black and white, or Wolfpack Red and Tar Heel Blue. Decision: Throw me in with the lunatic fringe of the Tar Heels if you want. No worries. Fact: There have been stories from Sports Analysts that no one does crazy like the NCSU fanbase can do crazy. Fact: I just flame the haters and conspiracy theorists. Fact: Red Rage is a disease listed by the CDC is highly toxic. (ok, that is subjective thought)

OK, got it now? I can connect more dots if necessary.

RE: 21 Officials Calling the Sweet 16 are Primary or Secondary ACC Officials

I like the one where the State fan sent in the message saying Marshall's injury was a hoax designed by Roy to draw media attention away from State making the Sweet 16.

Now, you bet your azz I'm pulling for State tonight, but you've got to admit you have a few fans with more than one screw loose.

RE: 21 Officials Calling the Sweet 16 are Primary or Secondary ACC Officials

I can relate to some of what cuss mikemeout stated. It will become sanctioned when enough coaches, University Presidents's, AD's, and the many powers of the Board of Governor's can see what officals have in their power in calling a game. Officials can dictake the outcome. Coaches can also intimidate officals to win a game. Coach K is the best. Dean Smith milked them too in his day too. Primary or Secondary officials should be evaluated after each game. Grade them out. Then. Cut to the chase. It's called firing and hiring.

I'll bet that your check is worth more as a graduate vs any fan on here. My money and the many in your family certainly has a larger voice vs the UNC fans that didn't give to the University. Some write like they have arrived to the UNC family with the many comments[/i It's all about giving to UNC.

I wonder how many of the UNC fans that write so many on here have given monies to enhance UNC...  
- Posted by Hokie 94


What the hell is it with your obsession over where people went and who gives money to what school? And what does "I'll bet that your check is worth more as a graduate vs any fan on here" mean? Are you implying that he/she makes more than every single fan on here because he/she is a grad of a certain school and can write a bigger check? Maybe - maybe not. Or, are you trying to imply that sweet's check, regardless of size, is worth more simply because it came from a grad? I'm here to tell you that it is not. And, I'll tell you again that your money, your son's money, my money, or any other person's money bestows no right to a larger voice on this forum than anyone else. It might give you a voice with university officials in certain matters, but I doubt it gets you much of one. 
- Posted by heelman73


Agreed. Money is money, and I was joking, as was Sweet. The constant bragging about "sending a son to UNC so I can write more" is really getting old. Who cares??? 
- Posted by jgunn


This. No one cares, but Mr. Hokie likes to tout his education experience as an administrator and paying for his son to go to UNC. Tooting his own horn like people here really care...I guess there are some that do...glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't. 
- Posted by Tizu


Amen, Tizu! You're a great sport and represent the school you pull for so well. I sincerely wish there were more fans like you on here.

Your blog is still up? I'll have to go find that link. I welcome a BS-Free Blog Zone:)

Hokie is like a flag or kite! Whichever way the wind blows, that's where he is going! I remember back in 08-09 when UNC was the odds on favorite to win the title, he was on here hanging from Roy's boys talking about how he had always been a Carolina fan. He just happened to go to VT for school. Talking about how Roy was a great coach and such. Then 09-10 hits and he is on here talking about how much Roy sucks and how he's never liked him. He's an arrogant jackwagon who could never hold a candle to Dean or K. Now he is talking about how Roy is a great coach again after dealing with all the injuries and still having a chance to win it all. Pick a side and stick with it. Quit flopping about like a fish out of water. I for one, don't care how much money he has spent to put his son through UNC. It still does not give his opinion more status or importance.

I will give Hokie one thing though. He must be extremely flexible with as much smoke as he blows up his own hindparts.

Now I get it! It is a tetbook case of "banner envy". 
- Posted by The1


Trust me - no banner envy for a school that hangs banners for things like "most free throws made in 3rd overtime of exhibition game" and "1924 Helms Most Likely to Succeed."

Darn! I missed those. Got a picture to help me locate them next time I'm in The Dome?

On Franklin Street, I saw: http://bit.ly/GJG9g8

On UNC's campus, I drove by this: http://bit.ly/nMfS5n

After parking, I noticed this: http://bit.ly/GIYjwe

Near the Dean Dome, I noticed this: http://bit.ly/wT0dhM

Ha ha ha. Funny stuff, BDF! As for the first one, though, remember when JJ was caught sporting a "man purse"?

The Speedo Guy one is a classic. Good stuff:)

RE: 21 Officials Calling the Sweet 16 are Primary or Secondary ACC Officials

+1
Whew....very tough week for BDF.
I can see him walking away with head hung low...
With his pointy devil-tail dragging the ground.
Might need to request an upgrade to 4.0 before coming back on Monday.
GO HEELS!!!

OK, you had me at "pointed devil tail". That is just too funny.

I miss listening to Taylor Zarzour! I don't get a great AM signal where I live now - used to have a better signal when Zarzour was on 620 in the 6 - 9 am time slot. Zarzour does a great job. QCB is very entertaining.
