Concur - white socks with shorts.

While I consider myself "middle-aged," I guess some of the younger officials could consider me "old"......and they don't wanna be seeing none of that!

Check local listings. Here, it's black socks, and I get to decide between looking old and looking out of place.

Disagree. You comment was actually quite good. It's nice to see someone competing with Mark Padgett for submitting humorous posts. He doesn't hold the monopoly on Official Forum humor. He thinks that he does, and sometimes we patronize him by allowing him to think he does, but he really doesn't. And I know that he won't see this because I've been on his ignore list since 2005. Now if I could just figure out out to put him on my ignore list, then both of us will be happy posters.

Now, now gentlemen (and I use the word gentlemen very loosely) you need to shake hands and play nicely.

I think Bing Crosby put it best: "There is nothing in the world I wouldn't do for Bob Hope, and there is nothing he wouldn't do for me. We spend our lives doing nothing for each other."

Or, if you prefer, in the immortal words of Montgomery Burns: "I'll keep it short and sweet. Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business."

Hey Mark Padgett. Don't make me break out the blue font.

Ebony or Ivory
Black socks, but be sure to wear a pair of white socks underneath. My frosh basketball coach told us a story about some president's son who got blood poisoning from wearing colored socks next to his feet, which has prompted me to this day to always wear a pair of white socks inside my black socks whenever black is called for.

To compete with the great Padgett. I am not sure if after 90 posts can I compete with the almighty one !!!!! However it is an honor to be considedered in the same breath with the godfather of the basketball message board on officiating.com ........

At this point I should just retire and hold my head high !!!!!!!!!!!
