Based on this statement alone, you really are a troll… You know the family, blah, blah, blah…
GH: He’s a troll? After your temper tantrum. Come on…
I have met Zach/Issac and proud parents on the field of play… I have officiated Ute conference and high school football, for many years. My interaction with the Wilson family was based on them thinking that somehow, they were entitled to special treatment when officiating the game.
When proud poppa gets in my face for a call I made (which I proved to him by the rule book it was a correct call), how do you think my impressions of the Wilson family would be after that interaction?
GH: That you answered his question. Why is someone a jerk because they didn’t understand your calls? Sounds like you answered his question. I’ll guarantee you that he doesn’t remember that interaction. Why do you?
BTW, I do have a reputation as being a fair and consistent official by many coaches on both levels that I mentioned. Does that mean I do not make mistakes? No, but that means that these coaches know I will do the best I can do to make sure the rules apply fairly.
GH: You and Jim say the same things about yourselves. I’m sure every referee says the same thing.
Then I do have some very good friends who kids played with the Wilson kids and those kids are now playing D1 football. The stories they told me about Zach and his family… But then, that is hearsay, and I don’t usually put much stock in it.
GH: Yes, it’s hearsay. Throw that out. I think all of us have things we said or did when we were kids and teenagers that we repented of and don’t do anymore. We grew up. Can Zach now be allowed to grow up too? How about spreading good things about Zach. That would be Christlike.
Does that help you? There are people who don’t get along with me, that think I am “unpleasant”, but that does not mean that I am that. To say, you know the family, means nothing to me.
GH: Well, you keep saying things that suggest you know the family. Should that mean anything? If you are going to say it does, then ChiCougar’s comments should mean something too, shouldn’t it?
