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.

Chuck

Back in my day,everybody used 2-man crews.Didn't need no sissy 3-man stuff!:D

I feel their pain too, but Rock Chawk Jayhawk Kaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark sit down. You're scaring the kids.

Speaking of back in your day what did they use to cover
the ball before the invention of leather? :D

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!:D

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

LOL!

Nope,wasn't trying to "bait" Mick at all.Got too much respect for him to do that.Just having a little fun.I'll try to stop doing that!

Yeah but didn't they also play 6 on 6 back then, too? :D

BTW, mick's not as old as Dino is. But he damn sure looks it! Whew!! :)

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.:D

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! :D

Or so I've heard.

Thats funny,Mark!You have a personality transplant?:D

A guy sits U.P. here trying to mind his own business....

JR: Yeah, we've got balls U.P. here.
zebra44: Thanks for covering by back.
BktBallRef: If they don't find ya handsome, they should at least find ya handy.

That explains a lot of things to me.

Once while taking the subway to school I warded off a
mugger with my bookbag. (The mayor's office wants me to
say that was way-back-when, today's NYC is safer than
Disneyland. Can I go now officer?)

Sparky,
I understand the interest in Martial Arts.
I wasn't the philosphy. It was the action.
mick

Hey Mick, do you wear those cool Red Green suspenders too? Gotta love that Possum Lodge Pledge...

dj,
They broke.
...found some duct tape out in the shed.
mick

2-man? Heck, it was 1-man mechanics back then.

C'mon mick, be honest. You found that roll of duct tape on the dash of your truck, under the old styrofoam coffee cups, next to the Black & Decker cordless drill. :D

JR, thank you for the nice comment in that other discussion board concerning "offensive" fouls. I would email you but you won't let anybody email you.

heey der, we ain't all dat bad up here
 

Just cause I drove my truck 120 miles last night to do a game in a place called Newberry and only went through 3 cities. Drove passed a place called the Generic Motel, Poorboys restaurant, and Pickleman's Pantry. Did a close game decided by last second shot miss. Snuck back out to the truck knowing everyone who was at the game has a shotgun in there truck. Then on the way home took me 3 and half hours because of the foot of the snow on the ground. Why do we live here guys? Oh yeah, must be all the Finlander women. And I don't mean the ones at FU
(Finlandia University) :)

Bergy

Re: heey der, we ain't all dat bad up here
 

FU is where I "T'd" my last coach.
Bergy's game was a city on Lake Michigan playing at a city on Lake Superior.
Bergy forgot to mention the Seney Stretch, 25 miles of straight, level highway with trees and swamp on the right and with trees and swamp on the other right.
Nice local color tour, Bergy!

You think yer so smart.
 

Tony,
You don't know everything.
... it was a Panasonic drill, and one of the cups wasn't that old.
mick

Is that the Newberry that is just south of the world famous "Tahquamenon River Logging Museum"?

Looks like Bergy went back to baseball.
Yeah, JR, that's the place.
