Duke blaming referees! Lol

[ksgovols]

Where's my little fiddle?

 

[Volfan1000]

Who cares

Duke is not used to such a physical style of play and Tennessee basically asked Duke, "Who is your daddy?"

 

[VolDave53]

I’ve seen so many “19-1 when healthy” posts from Dookies. Lol. Hang the stinking banner now. I’m embarrassed for the people spreading that. Was every team they played in those 20 games “healthy”? Of course now. There isn’t a team in America that stays healthy all year, and certainly no team is healthy in March.

That piece was worse than sophomoric.

 

[feathersax]

Duke, fluke, PUKE....I care not.

 

[orangemadam]

That's a legitimate reason.

All 10 of our losses were because of the referees. We were favored in all of 'em, so it had to be the officiating.

To me, it’s hilarious that Duke could ever have the nerve to blame a loss on referees!

Lol...terrible article. Is this what passes for journalism today? Don't answer.....I think we know.

So the college basketball world is chiming in? Well I'm glad we got such genius analysis from John, Trey and Dave.

The only reason ever that a fan base blames a loss on is the refs.

This. I think any fanbase blaming the refs consistently for wins, losses or bias is stupid.

 

[Volinnooga]

What’s so surprising about the losing team blaming the refs? It is what VN posters due in any sport after a loss.

 

[ArdentVol]

Quality journalism. I like the Twitter screenshot from the random Duke fan with four replies. Newsworthy.

Check out Dan Wolken and Doug Gottlieb this morning. Both whining about Tenn's physicality. Gottlieb actually used the word "dirty" in his post.

Look at our in game posts and some of our fans were saying the same thing.

That’s the reason I seldom post during games. Somethings are best kept private!

Those two clowns are on the rag 365 days a year.

Wow, they had 20 “healthy” games? How many did we have, 3? Seems like we always had a starter or two out…..

 

[Zues1]

CockRoach had like 6 fouls but they only called 4, so idk what they blabbering about

Well they called 5 and then realized what they had done.....lol

.............and they were flopping like fish on dry land. LoL........... sounds like butt hurt bammers.

 

[Wrangler95]

HaHa!!The Duke fans are like the Bama football fans,blame the Refs!!

 

[Zues1]

Tennessee= bad guys.
Break out the black uniforms. Lol

 

[volbound1700]

Trust me, they are alone in their complaints and it is only the radical version of their fans (similar to some of our VolsNation posters)

Most neutral boards that I saw yesterday were talking about how Roach should have fouled out.

I was thinking the same thing. I couldn’t care less who “Dave” is.

sounds like something Beamer would say - terrible company to be in

 

[CAVPUT]

You must never be here after a loss

Truth. And during the games. Pot meet kettle.

 

[sechamp2012]

Newsflash a segment of EVERY fan base blames the ref for every loss to a degree.
AND sometimes they’re right.
I think on this game (if this had been played PRE-REVIEW era would have been different )the early Uros fouls changed how the refs called. When they had time to review and seen it was a normal foul/ basketball play by UP but obvious Flops. In game speed looked like bully ball. That got in their head they’re just human and from then on they were leery of Dukes MO moving forward. JMO

If Duke had won we'd have 15 threads on the refs this morning. Is what it is.
