A past student of mine went to pro school three years ago and this past year. He graduated and was offered games. He has worked at least six games that I'm aware of thus far. Hmmmmm...

I think we all know what you are...but once it becomes 0s and 1s, Bob and Mick will delete the post. (Snicker, giggle, chuckle)

Let's clarify this:

1. NO 2006 PBUC graduate has been offered a job, becasue there are none.

2. Those finishing PBUC were told only where on 'the list' they were & advised of the potential opportunity of a job.

3. If this student simply completed the 5 week course, so what? He's now a well trained (If he paid attention & showed up that is. If he suffered a 'spider bite' then your post means less than zero, because that's what this individual's potential is) umpire ready to learn his/her craft.

Of course this is only my opinion.
