I can only infer that you believe the SEC concerns themselves with looks at the expense of training which leads to their recent screw-ups.

Am I wrong? If so what do you wish to retract?

Prior to the removal of Gutherie and the resulting change that took place in the SEC over the investment scandal, I did have exactly that opinion of the SEC.

I don't wish to retract anything.

errr...which opinion? You saying Gutherie screwed up the conference by the way he handled the officials? And now it's better?

Or the other way around?

btw, we all know that "scandals" as reported in the press are often just reputation killers... have there been any convictions that you know of?

Glad you cleared that up. It appeared to me, given the way that you continue to reference it, that you had a bigger issue with it than just refTN's antics. Mark me down as corrected

It's kinda amazing that I've seemed to get stoopider every year since then

Wait until you have teenagers. You think you are stoopid now? HAH!

Thanks for clearing up that quote for me. I wasn't sure what it was, but figured there was a little background I needed to hear!

You're up to date now, Huntin' Ref.

When this guy said how many games he had worked at the varsity level, maybe he was referring to elevation. Maybe the elementary school gym is the same distance above sea level as the varsity gym where he lives.
