A bigger question is will we get a fairly officiated game?

This game will be decided by the players on the court. Not the refs. Florida state football fans whine about refs preventing them from winning all the time. Crybabies... just play the game...

For the most part I agree that blaming the refs is the easy way out and used too often. However, you can't honestly tell me the refs did not cost us the home game against UNC last year.

We have all lost games that we can put on the back of the refs. UNC fans say the same thing when they play Duke. Every team has experienced it. I just dont wont to make an excuse for a loss before the game is even played. Makes us sound like FSU fans...

FSU fans wanted to bolt the ACC in part because they felt the officiating was against their football team.. Makes them sound like 4 year olds. I went to their board and called them all a bunch of crybabies. Of course I am banned from their site, which is fine with me. I know officiating can sometimes have an effect on the outcome of a game and no one gets more upset with that than me. For the most part however, if you get the job done on the playing floor the results will take care of themselves....

Duke and Carolina are the only two teams where UVA (actually the whole ACC) complains about the officiating. Last year, we got a fair game at Cameron but both games against UNC were unfair. At Chapel Hill, we would have lost even with a fair officiated game. At JPJ, IT WAS OUTRIGHT STOLEN FROM US.

I agree with you about the game at JPJ last year. The officiating was terrible.
