I was at the game, and I thought the refs were whistle happy all night. As for the play in question, I thought the call was bogus but it's very difficult to say from the angle I was sitting at. After a few replays on the big screen I couldn't believe traveling was the call on the play, especially considering the timing of it all.
I'll tread lightly with this, because I know there are some great UNC fans out there, but for the most part I was very unimpressed with the UNC supporters at the Carrier Dome last night. The UNC crowd reminded me of Yankee fans, a few that were passioinate about their team but for the most part a lot of front runners. The group of guys behind me were telling me how much they love UNC and that they watch every game, then also proceeded to argue with me later in the game that the "TOL" category on the scoreboard stood for turnovers lost. (My girlfriend later turned around to them and asked if it stood for turnovers lost then she's like them to explain why the total was going down) That was good, but the best were these people in front of me saying that the refs were giving the game to Nova, and the team fouls at that point in the half was Nova 7, UNC 2. Just seemed like a lot of them had their head in the clouds and only see the game through Carolina Blue glasses. I hope this was just as case of some fair weather fans who got tickets and needed a team to root for and not a reflection of what goes on down at Chapel Hill. For a team with such a national reputation I expected a little more knowledgeable fan base.
