Actually, it's at least 2 words. "YOU" followed by an adjective. YOU never know when s coach will come by and say that YOU guys are very consistent. Keep up the good work.

However, back to the politics side that this started under, I have an example for the OP. I was working 11-12 state trny this weekend. As soon as a league from my district qualified for the trny, I called the assignor to make him aware. IN an attempt to help avoid some possible "politics" at the last minute, I wanted him to be aware. Well, his decision was simple. His first response was "so?". THen he went on to ask me if I had any issues with integrity. When I told him that I did not, he said "refer to answer #1". Some leagues (states) are clearly different when it comes to the same game.
