Kansas/ISU officials

ChuckElias

Anybody know why the Kansas/ISU game last night ended with only 2 officials on the floor? I was watching the second half last night and realized that they were working a 2-man game. Watched the highlights this morning and they had 3-man in the first half?

Anybody know who dropped out and why? Nothing serious, I hope.

Chuck,
I didn't personally see it, but my girlfriend said it looked like the other guy went out with an achilles injury. Didn't sound good. She said he was trying to be tough, but that you could see the sweat beads popping out on his forehead and said it looked like he was in quite a bit of pain.

It was me Chuck. I had to be home by 11pm. 😉

The three officials were Steve Welmer, Ted Hillary, and Steve Olson. I didn't find anything on the Net so, maybe someone will enlighten us.

I wanna say Welmer was the one that was injured.

Steve Olsen was the one that was injured. Welmer and Hillary finished. I did not watch until the second half myself, but Olsen was the one that was missing due to injury.

That's too bad, and I wish him a speedy recovery. I also feel bad for the 2 guys that stayed to finish the game. It can't be easy to do a Big 12 game with a 2-man crew.

We used cowhide over a pig's bladder.Or was that football?Anyway,we scratched the lines on the ball with a piece of flint.Then we sent all the balls to what is now known as the "Upper Peninsula" of Michigan to be blown up.The guys U.P. there are real good at that!😃

I know you are trying to bait Mick, but as one of his partners I'd just like to say "Shut U.P!

Yup,the girls played 6 on 6 when I first started.Just a wonderful set of rules.Only 2 dribbles allowed-3rd dribble was a violation.Three defenders who couldn't go into the front 1/3 of the court and never shot,and 3 offensive players who couldn't go into the back 1/3 of the court for defense.I think Iowa or Montana or somewhere played 6 on 6 in the girls game until a coupla years ago.If I remember right,most everyone else changed in the very early 60's.
So endeth to-night's useless history lesson.😃

When I was a kid we walked five miles in the snow to school each way and it was up hill both ways.

Once while walking to school, my dad killed a bear with his book bag. And of course,the book bag had been handed down through 7 brothers and sisters! It was tough in the good old days! 😀

Or so I've heard.
