Oh yeah, we all read the rule books 4 to 5 hours a day, then we come to the forum because we do not know the answer to a simple question, then we get mad because someone calls us on the post, and we are all greater than we seem on the Internet.

This goes on every single year and it is an absolute joke. If you already answered the test, why not say that up front? "I put answer A on the test. Do you think I was correct?" Now, if someone gives you a rash of $hit about posting, you can tell them to pound sand. But hey, we don't know that you are the greatest thing that ever stepped on a baseball field and you just forgot the answer to a simple, basic question that a plate umpire has to judge on every season! Here's a tip..... go find your rule book that you left in the bathroom the other day and keep studying. Your assigner might just present you with a nice JUCO game to suit your talent - or rather, your mouth!

I actually like talking the rules test questions and think that discussing them before, during or after the test is submitted is great. It gets us thinking and helps us see what others are thinking. I actually wished that the NCAA released the questions prior to the first meeting so we could do round tables about them at the meetings. Let's face it, we work games with 1, 2, 3, or 5 other guys on the field with us. Collaboration is good. And for the record, I should read the rule book way more.

I did tell you that I already took the test. It wasn't on my test though, dickhead. When did I say I was the greatest thing to step on a baseball field? As good as this forum can be, some of the people on it are incredibly arrogant, and you ozzy are certainly in that group. I'm sure you're a gem to work with.
