Who will work the NCAA Final this year?
 

Finals
Eades
Weimer
Gray My picks!

Already?

Why wait to the last second?

I have my money on Bhuch Elics, I'm 138% positive he'll be in the mix!

I'm starting to doubt whether Bhuck Elics really exists. I'm 2.5434335% positive it's a sooodonim.

If Bhuck does make it that far, I'm 1000% positive the game will go into double OT!:mad:

You mean like Jurassic Referee is a sooodonim for Satan?

Could be.

Shut up.

You communist furry-nadded beaver.:rolleyes:

What?? You mean he's a communist on top of all that fur? Son-of-a-beaver.

All furry-nadded beavers are communists. Rush Limbaugh said that, so it must be true.

And all furry-nadded squirrels are pinko, communist-sympathizing diversive school teachers. And they're usually short too.

And don't get me started on Cubs fans.........

Yep.

That's me with Fidel in our younger days.

Damn his breath was bad...must have been those cheap cigars

My money's on Jon Diebler, Bhuck Elics, and Bartholomew Kennedy.

I'm with you. If the guy doesn't have those 3 in his top 4 picks, what does he know?

Close call, but I'm going to put my money on 3 officials. :D

Me.

The Basketball forum is definitely the frat house on O.Com. I get a kick out of reading these threads and I don't even work basketball. :D

That's only 2 1/2 officials.

I thought they were going to cancel the final four this year in honor of Diebler.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

He obviously meant to include sororities.

LOL!

Actually that wasn't my concern. Just trying to put myself into the Animal House picture...:eek: :eek: my poor grandmother...

Oh, then never mind. Good point.

31st day on 30 day torics.

Sorry...the neanderthal in me is coming out. I naturally assumed the sorority sisters would be hanging out at the frat house too but I'm rather uncouth...and a recent college grad. :rolleyes:

Who wants punch? :cool:

There's been a lot of that going around lately. They haven't found a cure for it yet either.

I would add Bryan Kersey to the list as well.

I figured the Hollywood writer's strike would've fixed it. If Hollywood can't solve our problems, who can?

Oprah?

EEK!! I'd rather take my chances with the world's problems than with her solutions. Thanks anyway!

Dr. Phil?

Dick Carmell
Tim Higgins
Steve Welmer

I'm trying my hardest to keep quiet. :D

Is this a coach? He seems familiar...

I think Maury Povich might have a few good ideas up his sleeve...look how much joy his lie detector and paternity tests bring.

Is Higgins still calling? Not seen him on the tube much this year, he must be cutting back him and Burr rabbit.

I've seen Higgins on a couple of Big 12 games this year...

According to this, he's worked 26 games already.

And Welmer's worked at least 43 to this point.

Seems like even our favorite official pops up there:

I believe Jon Diebler will work the Final Four. OSU won't make it that far so he will be available.

Love that site. Too bad it requires a subscription/limits access.

Welmer's worked 44 games as of yesterday, 12/29/2007. In December, he had off the 6th, 7th, 24th, 25th, and 26th. That's 24 games in 29 days in December.

Bwtween his season start on November 9 and today, he's had a total of 44 games in 51 days. Wow. Say what you want about his post-season assignments, he sure is wanted by enough people to keep him working day in and day out.

24 games in 29 days is not unusual. When I first started officiating I had one of the local "big dawgs" send me his schedule. I counted him working 26 days in January of that season.

It's not unusual for us. We drive to games and have normal lives (most of us, anyway). All of Welmer's games involve plane rides and hotel rooms.

You mean he won't be the first player/official in Final Four history?:eek: :eek:

I agree. Maybe we could take a collection and all share the username/password.

Or maybe we could dip into the fund that gets collected when somebody asks about catching your own airball.

When I referred to a local "big dawg" I wasn't talking about "us", I was talking about someone who has the same visibility and level of games as Welmer.

Unless he's playing for Valpraiso in the NIT.

I watched Valpraiso/Carolina last night for a while. Brother Jake Diebler plays for Valpraiso. Let's just say that Jake ain't no Jon. Then again, who is? :D
