Peter,

I think we agree more than you think we do. I have been saying this for years. It is certain individuals that think everyone is clamoring to work a post season game that they would sell their soul to get an assignment. I just know that a lot of umpires are not available for college ball for this very reason. Not everyone can work a 12:00 on a Monday.

Peace
