Aww...someone else needs to get in on the group hug?

What the heck else are we gonna talk about in the middle of summer? Which style of belt buckle is too big?

I've often thought about adding a pair in my bag for the shower. However, I don't know if I'd have enough room in my gear bag.... eh M&M? :D

To the officials that just prefer to change there socks between games, you may want to wash your dogs first! And, I have yet to smell an officials feet between games, but I sure feel sorry for the officials who room with a guy/gal like this. I can only imagine what an officials dogs smell like after officiating 4 or 5 games a day and all he/she has doen is just change socks!

Hey Butch, you ARE worth it! I may buy a pair myself and wear them next time I'm in NoCal. :D

After-Game shoes
 
I and the guys here in GA and when I was in MD wear Adidas massage sandals. They have little stimulus fingers in the soles that massage your feet;especially good for guys/gals who have flat feet or plantar fascitis. They are great for camps where you are having 6-8 games a day. I have three pair and got them from local adidas outlet stores. Try "Ask Simon.com" for prices and availability.

Referee Sandals
 
You mean to tell me that there are actually camps that you work 6 to 8 games a day? I guess if you survive a grueling week at this camp, somebody should pick you up!;)

Larks Wed Jun 14, 2006 08:14am

I think 3-4 is a grind. 6-8 would be a bit much to expect. I hear the way it used to be was you'd work all day and no AC so maybe we're spoiled.
