For those of you who've been here a while, poster Eli Roe is working the NY Knicks/NJ Nets pre-season game at the garden tonight.

Way to go Eli!!

I'm glad for him. I've been at camp with Eli and watched him work. He does a very good job, obviously. Some of the scuttlebutt was that Eli probably could've been hired two years ago, but had to wait for some more senior guys to get hired first. Hope he makes the roster.

Big ups to Eli.

Too bad he got stuck with a coupla semi-pro teams tonight though.

What, you think they should have given him the clippers vs Portland right off the bat?

I don't think so.

Well, it woulda been nice if he hadda got a coupla <b>good</b> teams right outa the chute. Like maybe Argentina or Croatia. :D

I'm gonna tell Coach K what you said & he will kick your @ss.

You know I have to say it. Eli is hailing from the good ole SEC. Much love.

:D

You're just (wait for it...) a tough little SOB, aint ya?

:D

btw, go do your damn math homework!

I can't go finish my math homework, I didn't go to class and stayed home and finished my NFHS part 1 exam. Now I am watching Eli, Bob, and Scott go to work.

I think that's Bob, Scott & Eli. They are looking good.

You're right. My bad I didn't think about putting them in chronological order.

Does anyone know if he's been picked up?

Where's that annoying little roommate that he had that used to post on here?

Tony, do you mean Drake? Yea, where has he been lately?

After I saw this thread I consulted the newspaper, and went to a friends house to see the game on tape delay. Props to Eli!!

Juulie, I think Tony was referring to the poster named "crew" (real name Tony). I met Tony down in Florida once while he was at a camp. He claimed to be on the ACC staff, although I don't know if ever worked any conference games.

Drake is still an active official at the D1 level in the western part of the country, but doesn't post here much. I occasionally hear from him via email, but not lately.

Correct. Crew, the guy who made up the rules as he went along.
