I am not a hater

Why is it that ACC fans want to call me a hater?
Is it because they’ve drank extra cups of the Kool-Aid, or is it something more likely? They can’t handle the truth!
ACC fans don’t like it when you speak the truth. They don’t like it when you say Tyler Hansbrough wouldn’t be a starter in the Big East or that the ACC is a soft, touch-foul conference. They really don’t like it when you say that it’s not about green, it’s about blue (whether you mean Carolina-baby blue or Duke blue).
Now before you start whining (another trait of ACC fans), I am not a hater of the ACC. I am sick of hearing their fans talk about how great their team played when they benefitted from horrible calls and won by three points (see UNC-Virginia Tech last Friday).
Another thing I’ve always hated about the ACC is its insistence on promoting slow, overrated players. Grant Hill and Vince Carter were two of the conference’s best players, yet they promoted the biggest cry-baby of them all, Christian Laettner. Instead of promoting Chris Paul, Almost a College Conference promoted J.J. Redick.
Now they’re promoting Tyler Hansbrough. Last night, I wrote about how the ACC is promoting the “Great White Hype” with him. In truth, they’ve been promoting it for years with Laettner and Redick!
My God, I cannot wait to see this conference fall. It will happen in the tournament, and it’ s not hating because it’s true.

Oh, Mr. Singleton, just go smoke your cancer sticks in front of random Pee Dee gyms and report high school basketball scores.  Facts are that the guys that you diminsh are, were, and will always be great college players.  There is no disputing that.  The numbers speak volumes.  Why are you even bringing in the color of their skin?  What does that have to do with it?  Are you suggesting some massive racist conspiracy by the ACC?  Fact is, Redick, as much as I hated him, became the ACC’s leading scorer. Hansbrough will probably be the leading scorer.  Chris Paul might have been but he chose to only stay two years.  I don’t blame him, but he doesn’t get the accolades.  Same with Vince Carter. 

When Grant Hill was in college he was a poster boy for the ACC.  Laettner was the leading scorer for two of Duke’s championships.  Grant Hill had to wait his turn.  America likes players that score. 

To say that the ACC promotes slow players is idiocy at its best.  North Carolina averages 90 points a game.  Pitt averages 78.  Louisville averages 74.  Wake averages 81.  Which conference puts a premium on big, slow, football type players?  The Big East is known for slow, overly physical play.  They have been that way for ever.
