who bitch about the officials. But this might be a bit over the top.

Texas Tech students began throwing trash on the field after the interception was overturned. The officials gave an unsportsmanlike conduct call to the Red Raiders, and the students were ordered to vacate two sections and leave the stadium.

[Announcer Brian] Jensen declared he had never seen anything like this officiating performance.

So color guys can't give "color" anymore?

What a soft, pussy society we've become.

This is why I follow a guy named “bob menary” does some funny spoof commentary skits… says things some of us are thinking during plays. I hope barstool or a third party sports company takes over commentary and starts calling games with some flavor. All week we listen to coaches and their vanilla press conferences, when I watch the game I want some insight, I want more than “well that was the call they made and I must agree or I lose my job” commentary.

Funny you should say this... I actually got a "talking to" for a comment I made during the Helena High VS Gallatin High game... I said something like " It is going to be hard for the Raptors to move the ball on offense when Helena seems to have an extra 4 guys on defense wearing stripes" My color guy then said "It isn't an easy job, and is very thankless" I responded with "Well... I will definitely not be thanking them"... The near side ref heard me say it (we were in an open air booth at about the 10 yard line) and he looked up and said "Watch it!!"

I tend to give high school refs a pass. When I was coaching, I was mostly happy just to have the zebras there so we could play a game.

I get that... I will try and be a better person (I won't) I actually have a pretty good relationship with most of the Basketball refs, and give them a hard time more because they can hear me better (from right in front of them).

:lol: :lol: :lol: We need more like you, that tell it like it is. :clap: :clap: :clap:
That ref needs to go if he can't handle criticism. Like the line from "A Few Good Men," "You can't handle the truth!" :thumb:

Basketball refs are creatures from hell.
