[Mark Padgett]

Three wreck games last night. My partner tossed five players, one in the first game and two each in the last two games. Man, that was cool. All I got out of it was calling one measly T. No fair!

In the third game, team A led by 15 at the half and wound up losing by 17. I guess they just got tired because this was the second of a back-to-back for them.

Also in the third game, after my partner tossed a player, their captain came over to him to complain. My partner said, "I triple dog dare you to say anything about it." It was the funniest line I've heard in quite some time.

Before you draw the wrong conclusion, the guy called all three games really well. The ejections certainly were warranted, as this is not that unusual in this league.

Oh yeah - after a traveling call, a player asked me if I "was kidding". I told him that if I was going to kid about anything, it would be his haircut. He just turned around and left.

Before the second game, I noticed three of the players on one of the teams were wearing gold and blue Michigan shorts. One of them asked me if I knew who the other team was. I told him, "Appalachian State". He stared for a minute then said, "I get it. That's not funny."
