People are saying Quint, Carc & Anish hurt the ACC chances

[Crease Crank]

People are saying that because of their extreme bias towards the acc and continuous degrading of other teams and conferences the committee was feed up and said enough! Knowing they would embarrass themselves on ESPN selection show and Twitter last night, ESPN can now move forward with hiring Boyle, Beninati, Emala to actually call the games rather than talk about their personal preferences.

I don't think they hurt anyone's chances. The committee couldn't care less what they think. I do however think the narrative they painted all month that Duke vs. ND was destined to be a "play-in game" created a false sense of the situation for fans who took that as gospel, when in fact the committee likely never even remotely considered that media-driven narrative as part of their evaluations. I admit I bought into the hype a little bit and in my mind I did sorta assume the winner of Duke/ND would get in because that's what I kept hearing over and over. But the committee was uninterested.

Of course. The committee chair was rather terse and direct when interviewed on the selection show. No Q & A either.
She said her piece and then buh bye.

If they did, then us Ivy supporters would like to give them medals and award them honorary degrees from our respective institutions.
Thanks to the 3 meatballs for helping get 6 Ivies in.

Maybe next year with an improved Dartmouth team, the 3 musketeers could help us get all 7 in.

I think it shows more how few people take them serious. The committee clearly didn't. Their fanboy love of the Acc put them in an emotional state that is spilling out all over the web. It's embarrassing for them.

The ACC was a weak hand. QC&A tried to bluff it into being a winning hand. The Committee called their bluff and now they're whining about it not being fair.

whenever a post starts people are saying, i'm there for it.

Facts. Last year the Acc had the #1 RPI, mostly because they beat up on a bunch of SoCon teams and the B1G had conference only. The Ivy didn't play. All 5 Acc teams made it. The same thing happened this year with the Ivy only they beat up on more than SoCon teams. They got 5 in too.

The Acc deciding to play each other twice was a grave mistake. They tried to game the system even more and got caught.

Who gives a flying F as to what these bugwits say...

I also seem to remember an interview with Coach Tierney before the season started and he was frustrated that ND didn't want to play them this year. Maybe ND should've taken them up on this offer.....

ivy got in 6 teams. they're not very good at gaming the system, more people should be calling them out on that.


ftr, the acc played patriot teams in 2021. pretty much the only option other than big east, and they played denver at least twice.

[bearlaxfan]

If I were espn I think I'd have a talk with the Karens about their on-air actions, sharply remind them 1) who their employer is, and 2) their job description. And the answers are NOT 1) ACC/Notre Dame or 2) conference/team SID/publicist.
(Yes, I know espn owns ACC Network.)

You don't hear "bugwit" that much. Thanks for the re-introduction. It is a useful moniker in our day and age.

Calling them out on what? They played OOC games. They just happened to win a lot of them.

the 1st sentence was just a correction on ivy teams that made the tourney.

the rest off the paragraph was in relation to 2021 acc scheduling. per your post. could've broken up the sentences in paragraphs.

[Chousnake]

They are just hurting the tournament at this point, and the sport. It's the mantra of the 2020s. Whatever doesn't go your way is "rigged" and "broken" and the result "stolen." Because nobody could possibly lose something because they actually didn't win or didn't do enough to win. It's somebody else's fault.

[joewillie78]

An interview with Quint:

Host: so Quint what do you think about the Ivies getting 6 teams in the tournament?
Quint: Look, those Eggheads are good at being President, landing robots on Mars, and making great supreme court justices but they just suck in Lacrosse.
Host: Well Quint, their OOC record was the best in D1.
Quint: PLEASE don't bring up bogus effing facts. We conclusively proved that every 1 goal win by those stuck up bastards was complete luck.
Host: You know Quint, your butt-kissing ACC got only one team in and it wasn't even seeded?
Quint: look, us ACC guys don't need some stinking Ncaa tournament to prove that we can beat ANY damn team with RPIS greater than 50, and that Woodruff broad better go back to cooking dinner and bringing her old man a Reingold whenever he wants one.
Host: well Quint, this has certainly been enlightening and by the way, how are you spending your Memorial day weekend.
Quint: I'm making Dolls of EVERY IVY COACH, especially that Buccek dude from Cornell and sticking pins in him, every time his worthless team scores a goal.
Host: thanks Quint, and tell crack and anus, I said hello.
