WOE IS ME, THE ACC

(sigh)

Still grieving that my beloved Duke Blue Devils fell yesterday to an upstart Clemson team, I am nonetheless further nauseated by what the ACC allowed as their shameless promotion of some dingbat female rapper called "Li'l Mama." The games were interspersed with her and some obnoxious male rapper called "T. Pain" (what?????????????).

I was disgusted. To make things worse, there were old white guys calling the game and trying mightily to be hip while listening to and describing this music (?) -- it was embarrassing to watch, so I didn't. I put the TV on mute when this stuff was on and shook my head at the stupidity of the ACC.

Jason Capel was on one of the networks as an announcer. Now, I remember Capel from his days playing for North Carolina, and he was worth watching as a player. But if he's going to be an announcer, he needs to learn to enunciate. It was like listening to O. J. with a mouth full of marbles. I'm not even sure I can watch the championship game today between NC and Clemson because of this stuff.
