This is a good example of the bad attitude exhibited here. People calling people names and discounting "fanboys" and "so-called" experts just because they're not referees? Have you not seen the news, the internet, etc... all the surveys? Even the Pittsburgh newspaper had a poll asking if people thought the game was officiated fairly. Last I checked that was 51% NO. Nationwide, that number was 70-75%. But not here... oh no... 'cause your heros couldn't make mistakes.

Now we are polling the public who has not training at officiating or does not know rule one. I hope the public can take a poll about your real job and decide you are not qualified and fire you based on a public poll. Since we are not asking the public about something when commentators are not even knowledgeable about a system they were involved in. That is a great judge of evaluation.

According to your tagline, I've officiated about TEN TIMES the number of football games you have, working in both the ACC and Big East... started before instant replay was even invented and maybe while you were still in grade school. What we understood and were taught then were that we were there to officiate the game, not take it over. Then came along refs that had a power trip and thought they were what the game was all about, and didn't APPRECIATE the game for what it was supposed to be, over-analyzing every detail instead of realizing that our job is to keep the game in control, not call every possible foul and to be able to admit when we messed up.

Ten fouls in a game is taking over?
Also be careful what you claim to be. The Big East and the ACC at times over the past few years were seen as some of the worst officials and had some of the worst games if you listened to ESPN Analysts and other media outlets. I am not sure you want to jump up and say you have take the word of the fans and public when the fans and public thinks the conferences you claim to work were at one time considered very mediocre.
Also the reason I have been on you is because you used statistics to cover your point of view and you were unaware of the statistical issues that you claimed did not take place in your game. You have the right to believe the game was not officiated very well, but when you start giving comparisons, you have to back it up. You did not do that. Actually you made the point of the opposing view. Remember you said the call was made less than 1% of the time and there was only less than 1% of calls made that you claimed was "ticky tack."

I do not think that was called for. But if you think it matters so much, what is your name and where do you live so we can all verify that you actually work that level. We do have people that live in that part of the country, I sure someone here can verify that it is you and what you claim to have done. Also, just because you worked a game or two does not mean you are on the staff either. There are many officials that work a couple of non-conference games and fill in, but they were never hired by those leagues. Now I know you will never give out that information in any way shape or fashion. At least if you are going to call people out, be willing to give out information that verifies you existence. It is one thing to make a claim; it is another to back it up.
Peace
