Some are good, some are not.

I would put them at the bottom of any list of umpire. They are the worst to work around.
Wow! Sorry to here about the college guys in your area. This is not the case in my area. Except the part about the lame war stories. Although I hear just as many youth ball stories as college stories so I guess ASA only guys can be just as boring / annoying as those that call both.
