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.

And if you are lucky, maybe someday your school will have the opportunity to play for the NCAA Div I Football Championship.

What was the score in the so called National Championship Game. Sooner should have Locked up with OU, [Ohio State]. The sure let the BIG 12 down.

Seems I have completely lost this thread. I guess it is safe for me to assume that it has taken on some sort of a football related theme now!
