NCAA Supers
Did anyone else think the guy working the Scissors was just awkward? The way he had to stand up and signal? his ZONE? just wondering...

You may be referencing different umpires.

The umpire I saw doing the scissors, Willie Newman, called Oklahoma vs. Arizona. He will be calling the WCWS again this year.

Tom Topping was at Arizona State vs. Northwestern; he is also doing the WCWS again this year. I haven't seen Tom do a scissors; guess I need to watch another replay.

Here are some not so kind comments from another board.

etheir that or he ran for mayor and won.... I do agree he must not of f'd up to bad to be there but that scissors stance was awkward and the zone he had in that game looked like a bubble in a lava lamp not the NCAA zone...

Yep, definitely some self-proclaimed voices of authority.
