The #goacc Moment of the Week (2/24/2016)

The weekly in-depth look at the best (worst?) moments in ACC schadenfreude.

Unsurprisingly, y'all overwhelmingly voted for that atrocious foul call in the Wake-NC State game last week. That truly was one of the worst foul calls by any official I've ever seen. Moving on to this week, y'all have a DOOZY of a vote on your hands. Seriously, I think y'all will enjoy this one immensely. We've also got a ridiculous #suregrin award winner, some hilarious photoshops, and a couple of BAH GAWDS that I think y'all will love. Let's get right down to it - which is your #goacc Moment of the Week? Vote below!

1. The ACC thought it used a picture of the US Capitol on its promotional materials for the 2016 ACC Tournament. They were wrong (h/t @dcsportsblog).

Love ya ACC, but this isn't the U.S. Capitol https://t.co/TSRQ9euAfQ (via @marctomik) http://pic.twitter.com/zDmjKq9kCE

That is actually St. Paul's Cathedral in London! Who's up for some ACC Basketball, then a trip to a corner pub? I say let's expand the footprint ACROSS THE POND SWOFFORD!!

2. Miami basketball with a couple of hilarious fails in their last two games (h/t @ArmstrongABC11 and @RobDauster).

I'm guessing this isn't how Jim LarraƱaga drew this one up.... https://t.co/ctl8P1LZRb

— Rob Dauster (@RobDauster) February 20, 2016

Yeah, I know y'all beat UVA, Canes fans, but I'm not letting you sneak away without that horrendous layup attempt going unnoticed.

3. Former FSU Football player Myron Rolle came to an important epiphany.

I dropped at least 4 or 5 interceptions at FSU. That fact literally crossed my mind as I'm catching these babies in my OBGYN rotation. Lol!!

— Myron Rolle (@MyronRolle) February 22, 2016

Yes, let's not drop the newborns during your rotation Myron!!

4. Boston College might be the worst division I team in the country (h/t @MarkEnnis and @BCHysteria).

They literally do not care. http://pic.twitter.com/2nv5Vrr0C8

— Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) February 22, 2016

Honestly, how BC can keep Jim Christian is beyond any level of comprehension I have. They are brutally bad, and I'm fairly certain a few high school teams could beat them. Seriously, a coach was practically half asleep on their sidelines during that same game:

BC basketball, it's electric! https://t.co/OeWFusjPKc

It got so bad during this Wake game, that the official Boston College basketball account just stopped tweeting:

Even the BC basketball Twitter account has given up. Hasnt posted in almost an hour http://pic.twitter.com/xMFN3eW5V6

— A.J. Black (@BCHysteria) February 22, 2016

Poor Eagles fans.

5. Old grumpy UNC fans perfectly personify the Wine and Cheese crowd nickname (h/t @DemetriRavanos).

I have nothing more to add to this. Everything about this picture is just so perfect.

6. Play between Syracuse and Pittsburgh was interrupted because a cheerleader left a sign on the court (h/t @BR_Syracuse).

[ESPN Video] Stoppage of play due to one of Syracuse cheerleaders' signs left on the court.:
Stoppa... https://t.co/yumo0tnLUo #Syracuse

— Syracuse Orange (@BR_Syracuse) February 20, 2016

LOL at the shade that ref threw the cheerleaders as he was carrying that sign off the court. Honestly though, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

7. After UNC lost to Duke, a UNC football player tweeted that they were now a football school.

UNC is officially a "FOOTBALL SCHOOL"

— Nazair Jones (@nazjones90) February 18, 2016

I'm actually amazed this tweet is still up on twitter dot com. Can't believe someone at UNC hasn't forced Mr. Jones to delete this. If you feel adventurous, look at some of the replies to his tweet.

8. This is the most #WelcomeTo2016 moment of the year so far (h/t @bzcohen).

Big winner tonight was the person who wrote this credit. http://pic.twitter.com/7qhNqARwwi

— Ben Cohen (@bzcohen) February 18, 2016

We're acknowledging bitmojis on air. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE.

9. Grayson Allen ain't too pleased about that call, ref (h/t @TwillieStein).

Grayson Allen that will be $20 in the swear jar https://t.co/cdya5C1dj3

— Twillie Stein (@TwillieStein) February 20, 2016

Allen actually one of the few players to receive 6 fouls in a single game this season (he was whistled for a technical after dropping that F bomb).

10. This ref decided to emphatically kick during his foul call motion (h/t @nolte).

And the kick is up... WIDE RIGHThttps://t.co/uwxKE6tp3L

— Connor Nolte (@nolte) February 18, 2016

What the damn hell was the point of that? Even TV Teddy is confused.

the #suregrin award.

An entire team is going to win this week's award. That's right, I'm acknowledging the entire New York Yankees club for this following tweet:

Yankees tell players to be less like Cam Newton, more like Russell Wilson https://t.co/PJaziPmAoA http://pic.twitter.com/G2wKC1KV34

— CBS Sports MLB (@CBSSportsMLB) February 22, 2016

You want all of your players to be soulless robots that Google Bing how to talk to girls, and post nonsense about #nanobubbles? Or, do you want them to have so much passion for winning that they just despite losing with every fiber of their being? Given how terrible the Yankees have been lately, maybe consider being more like Cam instead of Russell.

The best photoshops of the week!

First, going back to that grumpy old UNC couple, you know damn well they were going to get hit with the Crying Jordan treatment, and Andrew here was up to the task:

IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT, AMERICA?? ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?? I HATE EVERYTHING http://pic.twitter.com/AJjdfqGfVD

— Andrew (@awbatchelor) February 18, 2016

Next, if you were like me and saw Monday Night Raw this week, you noticed that 1) Shane McMahon returned, and 2) Jim Harbaugh was there. Well, the fantastic Nick Pants put this together for your enjoyment:

alright jim this is getting awkward http://pic.twitter.com/XdH722rpq9

And now, for your moment of wrasslin'...

THE JIM ROSS BAH GAWD MOMENTS OF THE WEEK!!

Let's start with the Lady Wolfpack, who once again defeated UNC this season, and I feel like this vine ultimately sums up how things in general have gone for UNC this season:

Next, the Pack Wrestling team's tremendous victory over Iowa on the road called for some special JR treatment as well:
