In my family, we express the same sentiment, saying, "it's not paranoia when they're really trying to get you."
(Not that I'm saying the ACC front office is out to get us based on the mind-bogglingly consistent schedule difficulty we've recieved. I really think that's coincidence. Even if they WANTED to screw us, they just couldn't predict which teams would be great and double them up on us every year, and single us up on the teams that collapse. If the ACC front office has proven anything, it's that
they're simply not that bright.)
