Very nice, Tom.
Perhaps if you had a question, this forum could offer an answer.

Tom,

I know for a fact that UK has an intramural department on campus, and I'm sure that they use student officials. Also, I'm sure that the grad assistants or staff in the department know a thing or two about officiating because often times they have done NFHS or even NCAA ball.

I know this because I've worked with a couple of UK guys at some regional tournaments for flag football. The UK program is pretty good, from what I've heard.

I think he means the original UK. You know, the one across the pond. He said, "in the UK," not "at UK." ;)

Um.


Oops.? :)

Yeah - you can tell by the way he spells certain words. HE'S EURO!!!!!

Tom,

Working on alot of coffee today and feeling it.

Tom,
Spell check, grammer check, it's a wonderful thing!!

As for relationships, never have one with someone you are working with! Breaches of discipline are best settled by flogging.

And the floggings shall continue until moral improves.

Am I missing the question? :)

Or even morale.

ahhh...what's an 'e' between friends?

It makes friends outa frinds.

Some of my best friends are frinds.

Wouldn't it make?:
