dropped third strike

[murphyt]

....I appreciate what umps and refs do. I cover Junior College football and even at that level you get some horrendous calls. Part of the reason is that the referee pool gets dilluted because nobody wants the abuse. It's a tough job, and not many average citizens are up to the task. I personally commend everybody on these boards for sharing and learning. I tell my kids tht no matter how old you get, you should always try to learn more. The girls have already chalked up the loss as a life experience. Life isn't always fair and you have to fight on.
