If global warming continues, Montana will be on the west coast.

In this part of the country, some people think that from Chicago on east is all one big continuous city and anything east of the Twin Cities is "east" in a cultural and geographical sense.

Of course, in NYC and other parts nearby, they think nothing west of the Hudson is important.

That's another friend: a Manhattanite once said to me (direct quote): "Lake Erie? That's out west by Colorado, isn't it?"

And according to "real" midwesterners (from big flat states) Ohio is not in the midwest either.

Go figure.

Ed Corbett, John Hughes, and Mike Stephens are working the NIT Championship game tonight.

If the NCAA still has a regulation that Final Four officials cannot accept any assignments in the five days previous to their FF game, then these three are out.

Kind of a stupid rule. We have officials who worked every day from November 14 until December 24 but they can work on Thursday and then again on Wednesday. Supid.

I would have bet money of Corbett.

You make an excellent point. I believe that the NCAA should have such a rule in force all season.

My money is on Sirmons and/or Luckie. I still don't know which one of them made that call from the Lead to help out Mike Stephens in the MSU/KU game, but that guy is going IMO.

Do the officials that work on Sat have to leave after their games are finished?
