I've also been fortunate to work some college ball at the postseason level. I've learned a lot there, also.

My name is Smokey. I love this game.
Glad to have you on board, Smokey.

Okay, here's me! I'm Serg from Virginia. I've been umpiring about 20 years, both slow and fast. I've done some ASA nationals, and taken a couple of trips to OKC during the months of February. I'm still a beginner, so I'm just learning. (thanks from me too Smokey!). So, any advise for me is always greatly appreciated.

Hogging it? You want to experience Shock and Awe, just try taking the hot sauce away from him.

When Serg orders food, they bring out a bowl of Tabasco or Frank's or Louisiana Hot Sauce and ask him how much (enter favorite food item here) he would like in the sauce!

The first thing Serg does before sitting down is scan the neighboring tables to see how many bottles of hot sauce are available.

At the Biltmore, they used to make him sit as far away from the doors as possible that way all the others would have access to an exit in fear that Serg would burst into flames.

Henry Pollard used to have to recertify his firefighting credentials just to be at the same tournament as Sergio.

It is not a coincidence that Global Warming came to the attention of the environmentalist the same time Sergio became old enough to prepare his own food.

The man is a heat freak!!!

You have a better shot of Michael Vick being allowed to adopt a dog at the local SPCA.
