I usually have my mask on while typing at the computer to get me in game mode.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="690060" timestamp="1256871851"] Super slow-mo is making these umpires look bad.  I bet Mr. Ump is glad we don't have that in HS. [/quote] Actually I wish we had film to watch. The football guys get film on their games and watch. Now if you think I move slow in real time, just think how slow I would look in super slow mo  LOL . I do think it is time on the MLB level that some of these guys do need to be moved out and a few of the minor league guys that grade out well should take their place.

Depending on what games a paper deems important, they send their limited reporters out. When I was the statistician at Ozen for coaches Louis and Brooks, many times i was also covering the game for the PA News and Bob West. They would pay me 25 bucks to call in stats and sometimes 50 if they wanted me to give them a story of the game so they could write up a story. Once this year because WOS played all the way over at Brookshire, I called in the game story and stats to Van at the Orange Leader. They were not going to send someone that far when there were games much closer that were also important. If Central had someone like that, I am sure the Enterprise would have welcomed someone covering the game for them. I am very lucky to have a computer program that really helps me keep very accurate stats and the play by play of the game to be able to call in a game. It's not as easy as you may think. I've been doing it since 1992 starting at West Brook. 

Total yards WOS  401  HJ 235

My point exactly. Davis did a decent job and it should have been better for the World Series but since MLB has the umpires on a rotating schedule for playoffs you do not always get the guys that grading out the best during the year. The only glaring one I saw was Joe West, he has no business being out there.

All that really depends on the weather and if WOS wants to just control things , eat up the clock, and get the heck off the field.

Now here is a rumor I wish was going around...   Shania Twain will be helping out MrUmp1 with his stats Friday night and she will be toting a note from MrsUmp2 saying have a good time !!!!!!!

Even a snowball in hell has a chance but we all know the outcome of that

HJ is better than what they been in a while. HJ......play them like you played Kirbyville and anything can happen. [/quote] Thanks for the support. HJ will make this game more interesting than everyone is expecting. They have a very good defense and the offense will step up in this game. [/quote] HJ is giving up 352 yds per game how is that a good defense ????  Only HF is giving up more in the district ?? [/quote] is that district or overall? [/quote] 352 per game overall 290 per game in district both rank 5th out of 6 teams

Home field advantage , noise, travel,    you forgot  Women Groupies  LOL

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="686597" timestamp="1256574139"] Phillies in 6. [/quote] I'm with Admin on this one. Both teams have some lumber and no weak spots in the lineup but I think Philly splits the first two in NY and wins 2-3 at home then can win one back in NY. Should be some really close games with the pitching both have. I'll take Philly and their blue collar work ethic over the star studded Yanks.

HJ defense is giving up 352 per game. Gonna be muddy and raining so the Stangs will go to the power I run the ball with power. HJ is no match for that. With that WOS scores 1 td per qtr and then will get another because HJ will turn it over and give WOS a short field I say HJ gets 1 on a short field so WOS 33 HJ 6. Extra point in the mud could be a problem so thats why 33 and 6.

I think they play at the stadium right there on their campus. Thats why they built it

I forgot all about Humble  LOL  Just remember i was wearing a hat that said TASO and I stood beside you my brother.

[quote name="teeboan" post="686912" timestamp="1256590422"] Very sad to see the end of High School sports (as we know it) in Texas. As an experienced official in faseball and football I can tell you that I refuse to be strong armed by the UIL. I can also tell you ther are MANY of my brothers that feel the same way. But at least the guys that have been trying to get on a varsity field for years but weren't qualified will now get their chance. Looks like I get to start bow hunting next year! [/quote] I think that TEE hit it right that there will be some guys that do not belong on a varsity field that will and it is not going to be a pretty site. I think one of the ways maybe this gets worked out some is if the coaches really complain to the UIL. The coaches from both schools agree on officials and if they agree it shouldn't matter what association they are with. Tee you know i will call with you anytime.

To put it simply, TASO is an organization of officials run by officials that understand what it takes to train and schedule all of the games in all sports in Texas. UIL will have to prove it will do training, and have our back when it comes to problems. There have been demands that TASO or SOA before that have ask for to continue officiating contest such as, security for officials, fair pay, and even an objective look at things such as coaches ejections. The UIL works for the schools and the schools is whom we work for as an official. It's way more than just pay. Would you want a qualified official or crew doing your playoff game or just some guys who are buddies with someone at UIL? Unless you are an official or know some guys that are, it is hard to really understand. I love umpiring games and I am sure I will continue to do so unless it is more of a hassle than fun. I do not want to see the kids hurt because of this but If it comes down to it, I could be quitting also

And if there are not enough officials that register with the UIL then what??????

This will not effect this years basketball and baseball so there will be some time to find out all the details. Coaches I know are already worried where they will get their officials from next year. If you are one of those that think officiating is bad now, just wait if all the expierenced guys quit over this.

Back Problems i was told and yes i ran into Admin up in the box, almost ran him smooth over he wouldn't get out of the way !!!!  LOL
