Steve Welmer article

Great story on this famous (infamous) NCAA ref...even includes a note on his pant hitch move. It's almost time to pull out the Welmer drinking game!

Interesting article and a good read. Thanks for sharing!!

Covers many topics/questions/issues we've talked about here many times - hiking up his pants, his exhaustive schedule (120+ games last yr), number of consecutive games called without time off (and what some think of that), the daily grind and his schedule, working playoffs, no Final Fours, etc.

His wife making his travel arrangements and stopping in to do his laundry and offering a massage occasionally was nice.........

Game? What are you, nuts? This is no place for games. Who do you think you are, trying to inject FUN into this forum?!?!?! WTF are you thinking, man?

you're right I'm sorry scrapper. Boy I might start getting to work on time during the college basketball season. With Welmer on TV every night I feel like I spend most of the college basketball season in a drunken stupor.
