Do me a favor. Don't big time me about your state championships...I wasn't exactly picking you out, anyway.

I have never done a State Final, but that does not mean I could not talk about what it takes or what the experience is like on some level. That was the point of mentioning anything about doing a State Final. Just because you have never done one, does not mean you cannot speak on how that is decided and what it takes when you are there.

Who was belittling him? If you have someone in mind that did that, address them. But do not try to tell everyone what the rest of us should say and not say. I know I gave a "legitimate" answer as to what he asked. He did ask for opinions and what others thought of the Pac-10 officials. If he did not want a response, why ask if we had heard anything about the reputation that they had?

He is coming to an officiating board, DUH!!!!
If he asked an uneducated question, he is going to get the response he got. Do you want us to give the name and number of the assignor for the Pac-10 or Commissioner and have him ask that question? Because I am sure they will laughed him off much more than we will. Not only did he make claims that were not true, he does not even realize how the system even works. This is not an issue of who knows more D1 official more than the next guy, but when his question is obviously bias and obviously ignorant of how officials work any conference, he got the response he got. And if anyone comes here trying to tell us what officials across the country are thought of, I am sure he will get another response that is similar.
Peace
