I'll have it updated for the next printing :)

Aahem.

You forgot one.

Jon Diebler: hasn't posted in some time. MHRIP.

I hate to comment about the OP but I actually had a call that caused overtime...not a call I passed on to keep it from OT, one that I made that caused OT :( .....8C2 (the worst of the 8th grade teams LOL) ...Visitor is ahead by 2 10 seconds left....home passes the ball around it eventually goes out of bounds...I don't have a great look but I am pretty sure it is Home's ball again...I call it that way...as I am signalling I am thinking you DumbDexter, you could go home in 4 seconds.......then I think it is 8th grade C they can't score in 4 seconds.....damn C teams....they score and to OT we go LOL...the ironic part is that the coach for the Home team is an official we work with all the time, and he even called me a dumbdexter for giving him the ball back LOL...:D

Now, let's not take ourselves too seriously, either. It's okay to joke around.

You may know one. ;)

BITS - when you post your list, be sure to include some of our obscure references and what they mean - (Diebler has already been mentioned) such as "fishnets", "over the back" and "reach". Oh yeah - don't forget Billy Packer. :p

SWEET! I was hoping for a directory like this.... course after you read a few thousand threads, you kinda figure it out for yourself. This is great!. I enjoy everything you guys bring to the forum. Keep up the good work.
