NCAA Tourney

So I guess I took a little hiatus from the whole blogging thing. I know the blogosphere is in bad shape because of this. As a result, This is my second post for the day. This should completely make up for the almost two years of silence. Of course, I really have no meaningful thoughts after watch close to 24 hours of basketball over the last two days. I will share one huge pet peeve of mine and that is the annoying way that refs in basketball get so emotionally involved in the games. What ever happened to the days when the officials were supposed to be impartial observers? Nowadays they get more fired up than the players or coaches when they make a charging call or someone steps out of bounds. They run and fire their arms whilst making the calls. It's pretty ridiculous. I can just picture many of them practicing their key travel calls in front of the bathroom mirror each night to make sure they're prepared for the Sweet 16. It's bad enough that their calls can be so subjective but they don't have to show how much they enjoy crushing the spirits of some 18-22 year old players when they make a crucial call in a big game.
