Yesterday was a double whammy for @wissoxfan83 . Not only did his Badgers lose but our Royals crushed his White Sox. Let's have a moment of silence for him.

@brooksmd Man, I wanted Wisconsin to win too. Facing two mega Nike stack programs in a row was too much for them. Oh, and the refs were terrible! The NCAA really needs to clean house. Fire all of them. All. Of. Them. Get refs that actually have 2 eyes and a brain in their heads. Im not just talking about the game last night, which I didnt see but read about, Im talking about the whole tournament. Bad calls and even worse calls the whole damm time. I think one of the worst is the call that caused SMU to lose.

@Lulufulu That SMU call was made by the ref who had the worst view. The one standing behind the shooter didn't call it. The camera angle behind the shooter clearly showed it would've taken divine intervention for that ball to go through the hoop. But you're right. If changes don't happen, fans will leave.

This ↗ story on ESPN kind of explains the problem. Evidently the officials don't see the same replays that the tv viewer sees.

Thanks Brooks, just got in at midnight after leaving at 8 AM! We did stop and hike for 2 hours in the Arkansas Mts. I drove the entire way, wife and daughter don't drive stick, and they wisely, at least for this trip, didn't want to learn!

@wissoxfan83 Allowing for your 2 hr hike and pit stops, you made pretty good time. Interested in how the young lady feels about KU. Anyway, glad you had a safe trip.

@brooksmd

Right now, she is interested in a lot of schools, actually right over by you in Hammond for one. So we'll see. She's only a junior so she's got some time to figure it out.

@wissoxfan83 SELU is a nice small school. Our youngest went there for a couple of months before we got tired of flushing money down the toilet. He was of the opinion that college was where you go to party 24/7.
