Ugh. I HATE this argument.
UNC won the ACC last year. I'm willing to give them this, even if it's not technically recognized by the ACC. Yes, the unbalanced schedule does make it easier at times for one team to win the Regular Season over another...but we LOST to UNC both times.
I can't recall if any other team might have had a claim due to the unbalanced schedule, but i don't think there was.
I mean listen, the Helms Championship was bullI'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this., as UNC didn't play any of the other top teams that year and there was no playoff. But UNC DID play the other top teams in the ACC. It did win the regular season.
So if they want to crown themselves, "Champions," I have no problem with that. Conference Tournaments are kind of cheap anyhow (What's more important...3 games or a full 16 game season?), and they DID earn this.
I find there's good reason to make fun of UNC for the Helm's championship. But to mock UNC for claiming they're the 2009 ACC Champions just sounds like sour grapes, especially considering they ended up winning the whole NCAAs.
Let them say what they want and just ignore it if you don't like it. But no use starting a thread and being standoffish about it.
