He's certainly not the only one. Just the one I was watching at the time. The reason he's one of the officials I don't care to watch is probably that I used to have so much respect for the way he called the game.

Welmer has always been Welmer in my eyes. Hightower used to be great.

I'll also admit that, as a Big 12/Big 10 guy, both Welmer and Hightower have officiated games I've enjoyed watching as a fan-boy. I have no problem admitting that colors my opinion.

I can understand that. Many people think Welmer is my least favorite official when that isn't true. There is an official out west I really don't like.
