Joe Lindsay seems to have gotten more and more big games over the last couple of years. Wouldn't be surprised to see him in there.

I think he messed up his knee in January. I think I read from a previous post.

Blew out his knee in the second half of the regular season. Out for the year at least.

Yes, I know I was late with the answer. But at least I was grammatically correct.

What the hell are you talking about?? A pink frickin' dress???

Mine's a black strapless. Pink's not my color.

And to top it off, once I wear it in the office, no one asks me who the Final Four officials will be.

He's been in the mix the past few years. Probably backing him out and getting some other officials in there.

Tommy beat me to it by seconds, but at least I provided the right answer, Tanner.

I think that you really should have a poll on something that is as important as this.

Oh wow, I actually didn't know this. Hopefully his recovery is going good.

I believe he had a knee issue back in January, and was done for the season.

Game note from Febuary 8, 2007 in the Purdue 62-38 win over MSU:

Referee goes down
Veteran game official Ed Hightower was helped to the Michigan State bench with a left knee injury with 7:13 remaining in the first half. Hightower left the court and did not return.
Glenn Mayborg and Eric Curry worked as a two-man crew for the rest of the game.

Hightower needed surgery for a torn ACL and was done for the season.
