Actually, on the other site, the Texas umpire situation is compained about quite a bit. If you read the Texas board, umpires are quite the topic. Those are your client's and they are apprarently not happy. So whatever situation is going on in Texas, it is being reflected in how your clients are perceiving you. I hope you guys are able to work out these issues.

What other site? Got on the heybucket TX board but didn't find what you're referring to although I'm sure it's there. I'm interested to know what our "clients'" perception of us is.

Interesting that you throw a blanket over the entire state. Texas is pretty big. I can be in Mobile quicker than I can El Paso or Lubbock. You may as well just extend your blanket to cover the entire Gulf Coast.

I probably won't take it personally if people that play 6-8 (or even 2) hrs from here are upset with their umpiring situation.

Looking through the summer threads, it seems the San Marcos/Austin umps bore the brunt of the ire, so apologies for any implied generalization.

Admittedly, it could be austin area parents are just more whiney.

Geez, haven't you heard all the B(C)S carping from the Austin area? You'd think they had shut down Blue Bell Creamery or Jaime's Spanish Village or something...

And the San Marcos folks are obviously going through withdrawals since most of their teams haven't been worth a damn since they dropped the "Southwestern" in front of the Texas State University.

Austin whiney? Just look at the election results. Austin and El Paso are the only metro areas in TX that are blue, ergo, they are also the areas to whine the most. It's just the way it is. My observation has always been that the older the kids, the less complaining you hear. That's either because by the time that their DD's are 14 they know the rules or are just numb to bad calls.
