Seriously though, that thread is priceless, there are like 4 rational THR posters that are giving it to the rest of the board, including DSuckr. I am thoroughly entertained.

Yeah, I did appreciate @Hark_The_Sound_2010 posting this to shut up the moronic conspiracy theorists:

"Did anyone else see Emmert with that huge power fan up in the rafters blowing that Jenkins shot into the hoop? Trying to find pics of it now"

Sounds like that time a Sophomore Kennedy Meeks was going to dominate Okafor. Also like that time Larry Drew was going to be better than Nolan Smith. And that time Kendall Marshall was going to be a top-50 all-time NBA player.

I'm noticing a pattern of foolishness here...

In that thread I now see one of the UNC posters created a 'DSouthristheman' handle....or I'm assuming it's one of those guys involved in the argument. Looks like he's only liked posts so far and hasn't posted. They're coming apart at the seams over there.

DSouthr has doubled down, folks. And you thought the quotes I posted last night were gold, didn't you?

***Disclaimer*** Please don't read the following if you have food or drink in your mouth. Doing so could cause serious damage to your esophagus, your computer, or cause you to choke. If not treated properly could even cause death.

And now, what you've all been waiting for....without further ado, DSouthr in his element. (I love how he throws some LOL's in there....like we're not supposed to know to laugh throughout the whole post.)

“I think anyone with a neutral eye watching that game questioned the officiating, questioned were all over twitter and most other versions of social media. While I would never suggest I am a neutral eye in such things those of you poking fun at our fans for expressing that something just didn't smell right about the way that game was called are coming off as homers for rival programs.

You may think it is cute to label something a grand conspiricy theroy but many of us find that very offensive, it is marginalizing someone else's opinion just because you see it differently. I have not talked much about the way the game was called and do not plan to but it did not smell right to me or many other fans UNC fans or fans of other programs. Maybe there was some gambling influence, would not be the first time gambling was a factor in the out come of a game. I offer that as just another potential explain for what we saw. Maybe it was a ref or 2 that just do not like UNC, that happens as well when you have humans and not machines doing the job. And maybe it was just a piss poor called game and UNC fans are more able to see the bad calls against us but I have not seen a ton of social media saying Villinova was hurt by the way the game was called.

I wanted us to win that game and a major reason I did want that was so this fan base could have a chance to come back together at least for a little while and not have any labels on us other than tar Heels. But here we are again, folks trying to label folks with an opinion as conspiricy theroists...

Couple other interesting aspects of this game:

1) They fronted Brice all game and he could not get around the front, they fronted him with their big at times and fronted him with their wing at times. Wonder why Brice, as long as he is, as good as his feet are, wonder how those fellas were able to front him and stay in front? Think maybe some holding may have been going to that kept Brice from being able to get in front of his defender?

2) UNC is the team that pounds the ball inside and Nova was more the jump shooting team and yet we get whistled for 8 in a row? How about that extreme touch foul they called on Marcus and yet on the other end Marcus was hammered and no whistle? Hicks is whistled for a block with the ref standing right there with clear view and Hicks never even touched the guy and yet on the either end Hicks is foul so hard it was heard in that huge arena and clearly heard on the TV broadcast again with a ref standing only a few feet away with clear view??

3) On a replay of Joel driving lay up that was replayed showing what a great job Joel did on that drive, did you not see Joel being bumped by his defender 2-3 different times as he went to the rim, if not replay it, it was crystal clear and a great camera angle.

Those are all things that were crystal clear and yet my mention of them will no doubt have me labeled conspiricy theroist? STOP with the labels already, I took what you said and I spoke to those issues without trying to put a label on you or anyone else. Can you not do the same with others?

I actually have not claimed that J, all I have said it what I saw does not smell right to me, that is actually ALL I have said. I did offer gambling as a consideration as something that has effected this sport before but I am not saying that is fact?

Maybe it surprises some but I have actually not one time said "the fix was in", clearly, as you said, you saw the bad calls, it didn't smell right to you either. I have not stated that I believe any specific reason for the bad smell. Matter of fact, I actually do not believe the reason for those questionable calls was the NCAA ordered it to be called that way. I am clearly stating that I do not believe what some label as a conspiricy, my point is other do and for voicing their opinion I do not think they should be labeled as anything but Tar Heels and I do NOT like the attempts to marginalize them or poke fun of them for sharing what they believe.

Some people believe in God, others don't, do you like your belief in God being made fun of by those that do not believe as you do? That is actually the point I am making, sorry if it offends anyone, well actually not that sorry...LOL.”

What a total clown. Yeah, ignore the fact that we have Giles inside too. And they always joke about Amile saying that we think his injury hurt our season, which it did, and then the hyperbole of calling him "Shaq, Hakeem, Russell" and all that crap. People over there are sickening asswipes.

Ahh yes. STATS AND STUFF has returned! Just in time too, I was getting bored. Although, this looks more like WHINING ABOUT THE REFS AND STUFF

gary-7 said:
...note: These posts are for those who appreciate them. For those who don't like some of it or want to be passive-aggressive, hey, just go ahead and hit the "back" button right now and everything will be fine. The box scores are readily available...

I'm not gonna spend too much number space on the last game --- just a few things of note --- because unfortunately this one was not as much about numbers as... other stuff.
- which brings me to this:
I knew going in that Nova was playing as well as they can play... and I expected them to play well against us, although we would defend them better than previous opponents (we did). But I also knew that even being on their game, as long as we A) played/shot well enough to just not lay an egg, and B) we got just a reasonably fair officiating job, that there was was NO way this Nova team could beat this Carolina team. We got A) --- we sure as hell did not get B). Here's the reality: Nova is not just a "physical" team, they are a (dookishly) dirty team. That was exemplified a few minutes into the game when #3 tried to pull Jackson down to the floor because Buckets had out-hustled him for rebounding position and Hart was trying to scam a foul call on our guy. My coach mafia and I agreed the zebra was right in calling the Nova players over and admonishing them, but we also agreed that should have also been called a foul right then and there, ideally a flagrant. Call one on that garbage early and you can put a damper to that nonsense.

In other words, Nova's gonna foul you. I dare say if you were able to count the welts on the arms of Kennedy, Brice and Isiah, just those would outnumber out total FT attempts. Hell, one uncalled hack on Hicks was so dadgummed loud you could hear it through the TV. At least call the damned blatant fouls (especially when you're more than willing to call touch (or invented) fouls on UNC. That is not too much to ask. Just calling the most egregious ones would have doubled our absurdly low 13 FT attempts... and don't get me started on travels. Note to refs: sliding your pivot foot is in fact a travel. And speaking of transition, the uncalled foul on Jackson's breakaway before the half (which was so bad it actually made the next days' edition of Business Insider --- I'm not making that up), perpetrated a 4-point swing which, well.....

- Anyway, here's a season stat for ya: Carolina had a grand total of 7 losses this season. Counting Monday, Michael Stephens called 3 of those games. That's 42.9%. Hell, if you include the BC game up there, where a winless team in the ACC somehow got within 3 of us (the game in which Roy got vertigo from snapping his head around at, um, Stephens) --- and since many of you considered that a de facto loss, why not?--- that would make 4 of 8 (50%). Maybe some folks hafta be hit over the head with a hammer, but when you consider the large pool of refs out there?........ Suffice it to say I had a queasy feeling going into this game for one particular reason.
Notice: I did not use the word "conspiracy". I am calling out unfair (for whatever reason) officiating that grossly affected a National Championship game... and that is inexcusable, and I stand by that.

So yeah, in conclusion: Congrats to Nova. Strong run through the tourney and played at the top of their game throughout. I don't like or agree with all their methods but they played and shot well.
But those refs? --- and who-so-ever thought they were the most qualified and/or integrous choices to call a damned NCAA Final? They can all (figuratively) "suck my balls" ($1 to Eric Cartman)... :mad::cool:

He also called Nova dirty, and referenced Duke in that as well. LOL. That guy has an excuse for everything. On top of being a fraud in regards to recruiting news and sources he is now right up there with dsouthr as one of the bigger blowhards on the message boards. Good for them though, if you can't beat them, make excuses.....On the national board we have some really good UNC fans and I am glad to post back and forth with them. Thankfully dsouth and gary don't make it over there, they would not do very well.

This is great. In the thread about King Rice, there is a discussion about the bench antics at Monmouth. Keyser drops this:

"I would not want any part of it and thought it was stupid after awhile. In no way would it be tolerated or needed at Carolina."

No wonder they've lost so many posters over the last year or two. How can anyone take that place seriously. Every single frickin' game it's because of the refs.

I can't remember what game it was, but a couple or three years ago I read a thread over there about being screwed by the refs (as always), and in that particular game UNC shot 50+ free throws...yes the big 5-0. And when some poster made note of that manner, the response was that the Heels had been fouled so much they should have shot a 100 fts...and he was serious. Wish I had saved that one...can't remember the posters either...probably because my brain shut down after reading it..

They sure has hell did not do EVERYTHING to make sure NC did not win. When the brackets were announced VU fans felt the NCAA screwed them as the NCAA ignored their own rules and sent Villanova to the Midwest. The feeling was that NC was getting preferential treatment. As a 2 seed, VU had rights to Philadelphia. NC should be thankful the NCAA protected them or they would have simply have lost in the elite 8 game. NC should thank the NCAA.

"With the crazy ending to this season, my love for Marcus and Brice, it's nice to know we have some real ballers coming in next year. Have you guys seen Woods? He brings a swagger we haven't had for a while at point. Mix that with Bradley and Robinson and others, we have a lot to look forward to. K can have all the 1 and dones he wants, that's not college basketball. Thanks Roy for what we have coming!"

Damn, can't remember which clown this was now but still hilarious. Yeah, they would be PISSED if they landed Brandon Ingram, Jabari Parker, Justise Winslow, Jah, Tyus Jones, Harry Giles, Jayson Tatum, Frank Jackson...etc...lolll, what a joke. It's called JEALOUSY!!!

So in the earlier quoted DSouthr post, the one comment from his post that had me rolling was this one:

"Maybe it was a ref or 2 that just do not like UNC, that happens as well when you have humans and not machines doing the job. "

I don't know how to respond to that.

Think maybe some holding may have been going to that kept Brice from being able to get in front of his defender?

2) UNC is the team that pounds the ball inside and Nova was more the jump shooting team and yet we get whistled for 8 in a row? How about that extreme touch foul they called on Marcus and yet on the other end Marcus was hammered and no whistle? Hicks is whistled for a block with the ref standing right there with clear view and Hicks never even touched the guy and yet on the either end Hicks is foul so hard it was heard in that huge arena and clearly heard on the TV broadcast again with a ref standing only a few feet away with clear view??

3) On a replay of Joel driving lay up that was replayed showing what a great job Joel did on that drive, did you not see Joel being bumped by his defender 2-3 different times as he went to the rim, if not replay it, it was crystal clear and a great camera angle.

Those are all things that were crystal clear and yet my mention of them will no doubt have me labeled conspiricy theroist? STOP with the labels already, I took what you said and I spoke to those issues without trying to put a label on you or anyone else. Can you not do the same with others?

I actually have not claimed that J, all I have said it what I saw does not smell right to me, that is actually ALL I have said. I did offer gambling as a consideration as something that has effected this sport before but I am not saying that is fact?

Maybe it surprises some but I have actually not one time said "the fix was in", clearly, as you said, you saw the bad calls, it didn't smell right to you either. I have not stated that I believe any specific reason for the bad smell. Matter of fact, I actually do not believe the reason for those questionable calls was the NCAA ordered it to be called that way. I am clearly stating that I do not believe what some label as a conspiricy, my point is other do and for voicing their opinion I do not think they should be labeled as anything but Tar Heels and I do NOT like the attempts to marginalize them or poke fun of them for sharing what they believe.

Some people believe in God, others don't, do you like your belief in God being made fun of by those that do not believe as you do? That is actually the point I am making, sorry if it offends anyone, well actually not that sorry...LOL.”

I was going to take a break from this, but then there was this gem from JimmyinVA:

"i can get over the loss of a national championship. but something else was lost, in my opinion, that's harder to get over: the integrity of college basketball."

Because what is to become of a sport where beneficiaries of the largest cheating scandal in college athletics can't win a national title they had no business even competing for? I know I find that incredibly disheartening.

Check out this whacko. Tigertown_a_Rick:


I've followed Carolina Basketball since the late 60s, and I will always love the Baby Blue, but I'm now having thoughts of moving on from the sport altogether after the worst officiating that I've ever seen in a Final Four....I could not even enjoy the win over Syracuse on Saturday or especially the championship game this past monday because I was constantly hollering and cussing about the officiating that I felt, was as slanted as any I can ever remember watching in the NCAA Tourney....The Fact that Carolina was called for "touch fouls" and "hustle fouls", while Nova got away with anything that they wanted too do including several obvious traveling violations that weren't called, just left me feeling as though "the fix" was in, and it's just very difficult for me personally to move beyond that?

I really couldn't be any prouder of a Tar Heel Basketball team than I was of this one, which has dealt with more adversity from the unfair and sensational journalism regarding the ongoing NCAA investigation than Any Tar Heel team before them IMO....That is what makes it even tougher for me as a longtime fan because this team put that all aside, and accomplished a great deal in winning the regular season and ACC tournament in spite of the ongoing NCAA investigation, and constant onslaught from Media types who seemed hellbent on casting a shadow on this year's team who had nothing to do with what had, or had not happened in the past at Carolina in regards to the AFAM scandal.....Watching Marcus Paige in the postgame press conference as he tried to answer questons with quivering lips, brought tears to my eyes, and left me even madder about what had just transpired....

I ask myself: Was this team penalized because of the AFAM scandal and the ongoing and seemingly endless NCAA investigation?

Was it just a matter of Officials who are on the take?

Did the NCAA instruct the officials to call the game in the manner they did in order to prevent a team under investigation from winning the title?

I've always been the type of person to congratulate the winner whether the officiating was bad that night or not, but I'm just having a hard time doing that this time, and am now contemplating giving-up the sport that I've always loved, and followed most of my life....

Nova did what they were suppose too do, and made some shots that they had too make to win this game, but I just have this empty feeling inside that Carolina was CHEATED out of this title by either the officials, the NCAA, or maybe both, and it's just hard for me personally to have the same kind of feeling about the sport, moving forward....

Maybe I'll feel better after a long offseason, but right now my enthusiasm for the sport of College Basketball has dimmed considerably since the Championship game, and I just can't seem to even think about the sport at the moment, and I have never considered myself as a sore loser, and don't now, but something has changed in my way of looking at the College game after monday night?

Don't know if there are other long time fans like me that feel the same or not, but today is the first time since the Championship game that I have been able to express how I felt about what transpired on monday night because I could not listen to any discussion on TV, or read comments about the game until today...

Am I off base, or do other Carolina Basketball fans feel as I do?

Opinions welcomed as always!

I am shocked and saddened. Posted my first comment on THR, and was instantly banned w/o due process or a hearing. My totally objective comment was "Not surprising the Heels lost to a better coached Villanova team, but what is surprising is that Roy did not cause them to lose by misusing timeouts at the end of a closely contested game." Factually accurate, I think.

Yeah, I started a thread about getting banned over there a few weeks ago. What I said was nothing compared to some of the crap they've spewed over here. After their meltdown, I think anyone with Duke or Devil in their name is going to get banned. LOL
