      Okay,  All I was doing is just trying to make conversation to 
relate something of my experiences.  I was mainly taking a situation 
to which you referred and gave my take on the general concept.  I 
didn't say you condoned it or agreed with that concept or promoted 
that line of thinking.  But, you did bring up the concept.  Unless 
the archives are wrong you are quoted as saying,

      "At the 7:00 mark of the first half, Nebraska has 7 team fouls, 
Hawaii  0.
That might have facilitated Sadler's second technical and ejection 
two  minutes
later".


     My whole post was just based on the mind set some have and have 
had over the years that if the fouls are lopsided, to which you 
alluded, there is something wrong with the officiating.  I don't know 
if you feel that way or not but you brought up the mind set.

    Maybe you don't need a needless, condescending take from a ref or 
a  former ref implying that you said things that you didn't (which 
didn't happen in the first place).  But, if you truly feel that way 
you are a very arrogant individual.  Frankly, I didn't disagree with 
anything you said in my post so why you are upset I am not real 
sure.   I posted about a thought about something you presented and that's all.


      One thing you are wrong about, though.  Officiating competency 
is NOT a matter of opinion any more than competency in any job or 
endeavor is based on opinion.


Here is your exact quote just so you don't think I am saying or 
referring to something you didn't say:


"Again, competancy of officiating is a matter of opinion (hopefully 
a  knowledgable one)".
