yawetag UmpTTS43 wroteI guess I'm one of the lucky one's. Maybe the wife likes me out of the house. Logged 16,324 miles last year. I should rephrase. My wife would probably allow me to go away for 5 weeks. My bank account and job, though, wouldn't.
Steven Tyler Publius wroteI predict a reincarnation: the JEACU. Evans will use his connection with Dick Runchey to provide college umpires. The five-week school and the Classics will be replaced by twelve week-log clinics given around the country. After a decade-long grandfathering period, only Acad Grads will be eligible to work Omaha. Then the NCAA will buy it and change the name to Arbiter Umpiring Training Services. That will never happen until the good ol' boy club goes the way of the dodo.
Matt yawetag wroteTwo weeks? Easy. Five weeks? Impossible. You either haven't been married long enough nor have had enough marriages.
yawetag Matt wroteYou either haven't been married long enough nor have had enough marriages. In less than a month, it'll be 10 years with the same woman. If you're suggesting I can't be away due to lonliness issues, that's definitely not the issue. 🙂
johnnyg08 Matt wroteYou either haven't been married long enough nor have had enough marriages. Or you married the wrong woman. Two weeks for something like this would not be an issue for me either. Everybody is different though. We can't paint with a very broad brush on an issue like this.
JRutledge Matt wroteYou either haven't been married long enough nor have had enough marriages. Everyone is not married and everyone does not have the same profession either. I would suspect that people's jobs, careers or business could not take them away for that period of time than a marriage. I know officials that have these problems just by doing a couple of sports, not just being away for weeks at a time out of town. It also does not help that the benefit of potential income in the immediate future is lacking big time if you become a Minor League Umpire. I am sure there are many reasons people find other things to do with their time for those 5 weeks. Peace
JRutledge Matt wroteNever heard that from any of my wives... If you had maybe they would be OK with you being gone longer. 😉 Peace

I went with 'a' as well. I trusted them to get the illegal touch right, and this play doesn't illustrate the "last time by" concept.
CT1 JRutledge wroteEveryone is not married ... I'll bet that's a huge shock to the 51% of married couples in this country.
JRutledge CT1 wroteI'll bet that's a huge shock to the 51% of married couples in this country. It might be when you make a claim that the reason someone does not do something in a profession is because of their wife. 😉 Peace
Welpe CT1 wroteI'll bet that's a huge shock to the 51% of married couples in this country. What about the other 49% of married couples?
Welpe yawetag wroteWe have friends that aren't married. Who said anything about unmarried people? He said 51% of married couples, I'm asking about the other 49% of married couples. 🙂
JRutledge CT1 wroteThey're unhappily married. :rolleyes: Well considering that more people get divorce after being married, that might be the other way around. 😉 Peace
