No, it's not a joke. Well okay, it is a joke, but it wasn't meant to be.

Other ACC fans know that when UNC loses a big game it's worth looking at some UNC forums to enjoy the bile.

However, the gut-wrenching nature of Monday night's loss to Villanova in the 2016 NCAA championship game has taken things to a completely different level: a disgruntled UNC fan has posted a petition to urge the NCAA to overturn the results.

You read that right.

UNC fan Michael Kline posted it at www.change.org, saying this: "This game was poorly officiated from the tip off to the end. It was a one sided called game all the way through. The officials called fouls against UNC that should have not been called and never called Villanova for the fouls they committed. The officials never called Villanova for multiple travel violations either. Also I want a complete investigation into the officials as it was them that decided the game not who played better."

As we said, he takes things to a whole new level.

Still, we think that it would be a kindness to support his petition. So we urge everyone to head over there and give his campaign a boost. The NCAA needs to hear this, especially now, as the organization prepares to rule on UNC's infractions.
