So you've never seen a call that you didn't agree with? You've never seen a call and thought, "woof, that was a bad one"? That's all I'm saying. And as an admitted homer in this situation my perception is admitted skewed. There were a bunch of calls/no calls down the stretch of that game that went away from my team when I thought they shouldn't have, so yes, those are "brutal" for my team. Not for one second did I think "these refs are against us" or any other type of nonsense.

So if anyone is an alumnus that cheers for their school, or has a favorite team, they can't be an official!? That seems a bit over the top. My homerism for Mizzou renders me incapable of officiating a high school game?! I'm sure you can guess I'm not officiating SEC games.

I knew better than to comment on a Mizzou thread. I will refrain from such comments in the future.
