They are likely saying, "You suck." And that night I probably did.

That one picture shows more fans than I have at 80% of my games.

I think they're saying "Now that's a great official!"

By the way, I am hoping for the day when the "longs" (can't call them shorts) on players like the one in the picture will be passe'!

I always hate the saying that the officials decided the game. The UCLA player fouled the shooter. The officials didn't decide the game, that player did.

Well, you're sureashell acting like one with the nonsense you're spewing. You sureashell aren't thinking like any real official would think. Anyone that thinks that calling a foul...any foul... should take into consideration the time left in the game should be up in the stands. You shouldn't be anywhere near the court with a whistle. You're dangerous.

That plain enough?

You're right, Jurassic. I'll hang up my whistle. My stance that this is a give-or-take call is completely way off base. That's why it's included in headlines across the country this morning....

RIP, Ron Santo! Oh wait, I can't say that. I'm a Cardinals' fan.

You don't get it. The fact that it's in the headlines means nothing with regard to whether it was a solid call or some "50-50 call." All that means is that the call had a direct impact on a big game and a popular coach was upset about it.

The opinion of officials on here, who often disagree with one another, has been unanimous (save you).

And that's the difference. Officials think one way. Fanboys don't think.
