I don't know who was in the gym that day to see it, but Welmer had a rough start to the day. Not with calling the game -- it was a well called game -- but with equipment malfunctions. His whistle became dislodged from the lanyard and he lost it during the action, and then couldn't get it reattached for a while in the first half. Pretty interesting to watch how the big-time guys carry on with equipment malfunctions -- you could tell it threw him, and everything was a little off, but he carried on without a blip. Whistle-pants-whistle-pants. :0)

I'm a Welmer fan, but I guess he just doesn't fit the mold of the proto-typical big game guy.
