Stats and stuff (NCAA Final)...

Hell i'd chip in to pay him for his time on here so long as he manning the wall against these bozos


Oh i get your drift. Thats why everyone at work is wondering why i'm laughing hysterically

You call mom's basement "work". that's funny.
 
What about that is factual? It's clearly an opinion (an opinion that I actually somewhat agree with, but not on the basis of it being a big conspiracy, or anything outside of a ref just not doing a good job - big surprise there). I guess "Opinion of the matter is" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Fact is the consensus of the national media (at least the one's who have bothered to comment) is that the officiating was terrible. Check out Adam Schein's comments and I don't think he is exactly a UNC sympathizer. Is the petition silly? Yeah , but I remember dook wanting the ACC to overturn the Miami football game.

And I remember duke being ridiculed for that on here. As it should be.
 
I've been here reading posts almost daily on all boards since 2003. I don't post much because life is generally too busy and I genuinely enjoy reading all of the frequent posters different opinions. That being said I felt compelled to post and say these last few days have been some of the most embarrassing I can ever remember. Regardless of what anyone believes about the championship everyone is entitled to their opinion and to be able to share it without being mocked or attacked. We are all fans of the same team fellas and ultimately we all want the same successes for our Tar Heels.
Marcus and Brice (and even big Joel) just spent 40 minutes making every Tar Heel fan as proud as we've ever been. Would anyone disagree with that? How about we as fans take some personal responsibility and make them proud by remembering their legacy and lifting each other up instead of just hurling insults at one another? It's a sad day when we are causing new threads to get locked every single day on our own boards because we can't even be civil with one another. Just imagine the laughs on Pack Pride, Rupp Rafters, and Dooks board. Wouldn't be as many laughs if we could get along prasing our Heels.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Ps. Mike, I've been following your battle with cancer on these boards since it began and have often prayed for you. Keep fighting hard and God bless.

Good post. I don't think I've attacked anyone, but I must admit I find a lot of this amusing. Hope that doesn't make me a bad person. :(

Couldn't disagree more. This is the most embarrassing thing you can ever remember? You can't be serious. I didn't think anybody needs to be reminded of our recent struggles with the NCAA here. And while everyone is entitled to their opinion, sharing it publicly makes it open season for ridicule and mockery by those who disagree with it. Share with your loved ones at home if you don't want your chops busted for it.

I'll edit my post then. Most embarrassing as far as something we should be proud of and enjoying. We should be proud of our Tar Heels for their accomplishments, not trying to cut each others throats. Better?
Also I never said anything about disliking a respectful argument over differing opinions. I actually really enjoy reading different perspectives from all the posters. However, when it gets to the point to where people are just constantly taking personal jabs at each other and not even arguing a logical point anymore, yes it becomes embarrassing to our fan base.

Donu think a petition to overturn the game over the officiating embarrasses the fan base?

Regardless what I think about the petition, what does it matter? I can't do anything about it and frankly, unless someone on our message boards started it, there's nothing any of us can do about it. That being said, we can control our own actions here and not sit around here berating one another and trying to embarrass one another. As I mentioned before, we are all pulling for the same team. It's not like we are replying to dook or state fans attacking them. For all we know the ones arguing could have had a class together at the Hill or crossed paths during a beautiful Chapel Hill day. Like my father always told me, "control what you can control and let the rest work itself out."

Well said. Reminds me of what my father used to say when he got home from work. "Get out of my chair"
 
Do you think the refereeing was bad? Yes, no? Because you can say it was a terrible called game and not have it be a conspiracy. You did know that, right? Not sure why every damn thing out of your mouth is conspiracy. again, give it a rest.

give what a rest?...i never said the officials did a good job, i just said i don't blame officials for the loss...and i certainly disagree with anyone that believes the ncaa screwed carolina over...that's taking fandom to a different level, one that i thought carolina was above.

is that clear enough?

i'm tired of doing your homework...go back and read or move along.
 
Did you look into who started that junk?
It was a guy who's grammar was pretty bad , probably not even a UNC fan. Probably did it to make UNC look bad , my suspicion...a pack fan. Most Moo and dook fans I have talked to think we got hosed on the officiating and they are just giddy about it. One even told me they rather see us get the officiating shaft than to lose in a well called game. They think we deserve it as payback for all the years that Dean got all the calls.

The only petition we should be signing is a petition to Rivals to give more emojis. These suck.

I was posting in here 4 yrs before u dude. We're the ones trying to endure you.

WE puffing out our chests on how long we been posting here and how often?

"I'LL be your huckleberry"... Archer is not the one I am having to endure thru dude. Archer at least expresses his point and his opinion and he does not go off on folks that are reasonable toward him. Yeah, that guy that has Archer's back, that would be me now ya want to boast about post counts and time on this site against me there boss?

And for the record, I don't give a darn how long someone has posted or how many times they have posted, I care only about what they say. I have NEVER asked anyone to respect me because of how long I have been here or how many posts I may have!

heelmanwilm, it is hard for me to tell if and when you joshing around and when you are serious, in this type of communication the default tends to be serious. Far to often, if you are not joshing it reads to me like you are wanting to come off as a jerk. Maybe my words frame me that way as well at times but I am geared to defend those that I respect and Archer is a guy I respect, I respect many, well actually most folks here. I am actually trying to be respectful in this instance as well but ya pushing my buttons when you act out against good people on this site. You do NOT have the right to tell folks what they can and can not believe, you do not have that power dude, express your own opinions respectfully even of you disagree with someone else, but the smart arse gig is wearing really thin...If you are actually joshing around then my apology is extended...
