True sorry sky I'll leave em alone...
And @chillyconcarney BELIEVE me we are on the same side. You are on friendly grounds right now.
No. we are really serious about this. unc is unbeatable unless they let you beat them or your fan has base enough funds to pay the officials off. All you need to go is go to their game day threads and follow their comments especially when they lose and you will see that the officiating cost them. 'm guessing you are a Nova fan and you guys picked up a lot of fans for tonight. Now what I'm telling you needs to be kept under your cap. We don't want unc to win no matter what it cost. We still have some funds left over from our PTRF (pay the referees fund) . It's not too late but we have to act fast. We are willing to match you dollar for dollar to make sure you guys win tonight. Time is important. We need an answer within an hour. We need to know what you are willing to spend. I can tell you this the officials don't come cheap. The game the tar heels beat us this year we just didn't have the cash at the time so you see the results. One more thing. tar heel nation has no idea of the PTRF so it's real important that this is just between us.

I'm willing to send some extra funds if needed

I saw this article linked on DBR, and thought it was interesting:

If UNC prevails tonight, they will have traveled the third "easiest" path in the 64-team field era (seed total of 48). They will be the ONLY TEAM EVER to be able to say all the following things (others have done one or two, but no one has ever had all these benefits):
- Avoid a #1 seed
- Get to the final without playing a top 4 seed
- Take on a double-digit seed in the Final Four
- Avoided its toughest possible matchup in EVERY SINGLE ROUND
Again, no team ever has had all of those benefits simultaneously. Ever. UNC has been really good, but the reality is Villanova has been even more impressive against significantly better competition. For example, where UNC's seed total is 48, Villanova's will be 29, putting it third toughest all time. They have a higher margin of victory this tournament, and have done so against the overall #1, a #2, and a #3. By any feasible metric, they have had a significantly better tournament than UNC. Maybe they are in fact the team of destiny tonight?

Nova will have 7 team fouls by the 11:00 mark in the 1st. 3 of those belong to Ochefu. Second half same thing except if it's close Ochefu gets 4th foul within 2:00 minutes of second half. Nova has 10+ by the 8:00 mark. Brice plays with two fouls whole game, Paige will have 1, Theo with 3 and UNC wins by 15.
I hope like hell I'm wrong and they all get diarrhea and Roy passes out and can't return.

We're nothing without our sense of humor. Good stuff.
To be honest, you have 100% support from this board tonight.
I don't think Dean Smith is coaching tonight.
Good work sky! I knew you and your NCAA buddy's would do the right thing and fix the game!
I like this thread.
It was nice to resurrect it for a 'special' event.
Thanks guys. I retired it mainly because I began to think I was wearing it out.I can't remember the poster that ask to bring it back but I thought why not. It will be fun if unc loses which I never thought would happen and low and behold Nova put one on them. I don't know if I will use it next year or not. OFC
