Having a hard time sleeping. Keep thinking about the officiating in the UNC game.
I have never, in over 40 years of watching football, ever seen so many flags that were thrown by officials, then picked up and waived off for one reason or another. I know that it actually helped us once or twice, including the TD after the phantom chop block, but I can’t remember than ever happening before this year.
My roommate for Wake spent part of the first half explaining to my son what “Carolina Refs” meant last night, and it was worse than ever example of this.
The failure to overturn the TD on replay when he clearly broke the plane, while laying on the UNC player. The holding call at the end, when the same call could have been made against UNC at least 7 or 8 times in the game. The failure to call Pass Interference against the Carolina DBs on so many plays. It felt like we were playing against 18 last night, maybe 19, instead of 11. Failing to review the spot where Hartman actually fumbled the ball forward, which was clearly on the 7 yard line from the Jumbotron.
Can not explain this except that ACC wanted Carolina to win.
