Blarg

So far, in over thirty years, no blarges, but it still scares the hell out of me.

For whatever reason, it's hard for the L to hold the preliminary. It's much easier for the T/C to hold the preliminary. So, if there's a blarge, I usually "blame" the outside official.

Yup. Most pre-games around here involve discussion on the T/C holding off on giving a prelimiary.

Not sure of the reason either but I know it just feels natural to come out with a strong prelim as the L.
