I don't know if this is a dig at Welmer, but I like Welmer, Hightower, Higgins, Valentine, Hillary, Burr, etc. over most of the guys I can't recognize.

Then this means you have never worn them.

I guess my opinion sucks! You must be the expert. Welmer must be doing something right besides pulling up his pants often.

When my favorite team is playing, and I want the best Big 10 officials, IMO, I want Welmer working that game. But then again, what do I know. Apparently nothing!

Both of those guys are two of the best in the country. JMO, but if your working the Big 10 your shiznit is certainly wired pretty tight. Working D1 is one thing. If your a regular in a power conference that's another. However, at the end of the day these guys are human. There are two groups of people who are the hardest on officials; ourselves and other officials. Even when we watch our favorite teams play we are seeing it form an entirely different perspective. I would imagine that is what drives most of us.

Google Nike Air Max 360...the silver covers very easily with a magic marker, so they get to all black, with just a little bit of work.

I had a pair a few years ago when they first come out, and that's exactly what I did. No problem covering up the silver swoosh at all. Comfortable shoes too.
