ACC reprimands Hess for ejections at N.C. State

Mambo Strikes only comes out about 10 times a year. That's about how many times UNC loses in baskets and foosball - combined - per year.

So Adam Gold said he knows some ticket holders that were sitting around The Corchianin's and Googs. One of them told Adam that they were thinking to themselves that those two guys are gonna get thrown out of here before this game is over. They were giving the refs the business every time they came to the scorers table.

Know your role when you are nc state royalty, fellas. Leave all the BS to us simpleton fans. Show some class while in attendance. With all the perks comes extra responsibility. I guarantee you zip your lips tonight unless you are cheering in a positive way.

As a 1976 graduate from NCSU I assure you that the bigotry is against NCSU.  Always has been, always will be.

We've heard from Corch and Googs.  We've gotten corroborating statements from people who were around them.  None of what has been presented shows that ejection of these two was warranted.

So we're all left to guess what reason Karl Hess had for ejecting them.  Neither he or the ACC has offered a valid explanation for why two ACC legends were tossed out of an arena in which their jerseys hang in honor.  Many will speculate that they said something profane, vulgar, or threatening.  Corch's and Goog's very character has been unfairly impugned and the ACC will do nothing to confirm or refute that they did anything wrong.  Karl Hess's judgement in deciding to eject them was never in question though.  The ACC fully supports his position that they deserved to be ejected.  They maintain that he just didn't follow the proper procedures in doing so.

Well, with the lack of explanation provided by the ACC, I'm left to come to my own conclusion.  I conclude that Karl Hess is bigotted toward Italian-Americans and that John Swofford is either too mortified by this bigotry to air it out or shares that bigotry as well.  Karl saw an opportunity to publicly embarrass two high-profile Italian-Americans and gleefully took advantage of it.  This ethnic hatred is shameful, Karl, absolutely shameful.  You should be ashamed as well, John.

What's that?  There's no evidence that Karl Hess hates Italian-Americans?  There's just as much evidence of that as there is that Chris and Tom did something bad enough to get kicked out of a basketball game.

Sadly, they want to continue the "black helicopter" theme that has long been a tired act. They don't want to answer questions asked by others bc it wrecks everything they are whining about and it stands in their way of the "truth."

Some wuffies want to go to another conference. Theres been more of a ground swell since saturday than ever. Ok

Little Sisters of the Poor Conference

1.) nc state
2.) South Carolina
3.) aTm
4.) Colorado
5.) Nebraska
6.) Mizzou
7.) Pittsburgh
8.) WVa
9.) Rutgers
10.) UCant
11.) Syracuse
12.) Natti

These are all clown schools who think the grass is/will be greener on the other side or feel/felt like a red headed step child while in original conference. In just about every instance the vast majority of schools would be more competitive in original conference.

Right now, state would be no better than 7th in football and 6th in baskets.

Let me go ahead and pre-empt the "idiot" responses: that conference doesn't even exist ! #overyourhead

I say it from time to time on here and will say it again ... I am so thankful to have chosen the UNC Tarheels to root for as a child. I can't imagine how easier my life has been.

"They were ejected for excessive demonstration on several calls as they came right up to the scorer’s table. The policeman at the end of the FSU bench was warned that their continual excessive demonstration that incited the crowd would result in ejection.”

What a crock of an explanation. The were sitting right behind the score's table. It wasn't hard for them to be there. This statement could be reason to eject nearly ever ticketholder at any game in the ACC. And, I doubt that the two men's actions incited anyone. In fact, Hess' actions did more to incite the matter than those who probably couldn't see or hear the two former players.

You can bet that everywhere Hess goes from here on out will result in his "rabbit ears" being tested. I'd hate to be him in the future.

Ok State fans, stop making yourselves look like complete loonies with your comments.   Funny stuff.  

Let's say I'm sitting in the stands.  I paid for my ticket.  Some guy in a black and white striped shirt points at me and tells me to leave.  Why can't I just stay where I am, and keep watching?  If I stayed, what law would I have broken?  I paid for the ticket.  The last I checked, the City of Raleigh doesn't have an ordinance against yelling at a referee.

I know that the NCAA has rules.  But, so what?  I'm not an athlete governed by the NCAA.  

Reprimand, Reprimand, the man should be fired and banned from Raleigh, NC.  But good ole Swofford came to the rescue.  Let me see, played football at unc, was AD at unc, now ACC commission.  Wonder where his  allegiance lies???  Truth be known, Swofford is probably sending Hess a bonus check.  How about this proposition, ACC changes bylaws so that no one affiliated with a member school can be commissioner.  Let's start that policy now and fire Swofford, and maybe he can take Hess with him and they both can go back to unc!
