Refs today so far

At least we get Pat Adams. Those monitor reviews are what I live for. Maybe he will go the microphone and give us about a long summary about how nothing happened on the play. “Oh Pat! I love it when you talk to me like that! ❤️”
 
I'm hoping for AT LEAST 4 game stoppages and to hear those sexy officials voices explaining things I don't understand.

Reminds me of my girlfriend in bed. Stop the action, explain how I'm doing it wrong.

Par for the course.
Yep I no longer use the blue pill, baby. I watch Doug Shows officiate a game. If he gets the call today, that will be ecstasy. ❤️

This third ref today I do not know. I think he worked one of our recent games and was ok. I need to add him to my mental database. He is by far the best ref on floor today. Of course, Helen Keller would be in the running today.

ESPN doesn't even have the name.

Bart Lenox from Central KY. He was our ref we took to Bahamas. We will never see him.

Hopefully whoever the court-side "field reporter" is can give us an update while the monitor review is in process - "i dunno guys ...they used a cheap peavey cable on the monitor & the second referee accompanying our lead investigator seems to need a towel"

I mean HELL - sell every aspect of this clown shoe rodeo

We need another cam that cuts to a hotel room in Vegas showing the two bookies assigned to the evenings events -- GD BOOKIE-CAM


OHHHHHMBOY, Jimmy Dyke - we're not seeing a lot of smiling from Tommy-Sweetie-Pie Malone after THAT call --- looking like he's going to the Green-Phone!!!

For a lot of people, the poor officiating calls are the primary thing they get upset with. For me, the constant monitor reviews are what bother me so much. I can’t stand the flow of a game getting interrupted every two minutes like that. That’s my big issue with Adams and Shows. They both love those reviews and no fan turns on the game to watch them go to the monitor. The SEC really needs to take a look at it imo, because it hurts the quality of the product

Yep - the monitor reviews and the stupid monitor cam anger me way more than they should

Multiple levels of stupidity happening there

Kills flow and momentum

Allows for micro adjustments by corrupt refs

It's accompanied by multi-tiered subjective rules describing just how egregious that thing was that just happened

It reflects a nanny state that's increasingly authoritarian about some things while mysteriously ignoring much more impactful topics

Injects THE REFEREE as a co-lead actor when they should STFU and get the coffee - also feeds their ego's

It just looks like something cookie cutter executives do at corporations when they actually have ZERO ideas or actual value to add -- but they HAVE to take credit for their existence

Creates dependency for future officials to go to the ORACLE OF TRUTH & NOT be on top of WTF just happened before your very eyes

And its not like adding all that amateur hour $hit righted some historical wrong or solved any problems -



Like i said - bothers me more than it should

If i am watching live - i will erupt into seething tourettes like outbursts

So...HOW DO WE NOT HAVE CORPORATE SPONSORS FOR MONITORING REPLAYS YET???
 
Shows lurking...

Any ideas who's on the Mizzou/FL game in 30 minutes?

I've noticed ESPN no longer puts the names of the ref crew in the Gamecast area. They used to include it in the game info section about 20 mins prior to the game, and then it stayed there. Now we have to wait until someone tweets it.
