Verne Harris, Glen Mayberry & Michael Greenstein-Atrocious

Anyone at the Sports Arena tonight might not know these three names, but they know who these clowns were - they were the Pac 12 ref assigned to this game. I know that it's no surprise about how poor the officiating crews are, but these guys took it to a whole new level. They had were wildly inconsistent with their calls, at times appeared clueless about the rules of the game, and worst of all, seemed to cop an attitude. Beware if we see these three near any of our future games.

Are they the same incompetents that "referee'd" the UCLA/UW game?

Thanks for the names!

I completely agree – I thought this was the worst officiated game that I have seen this year. It was bad for both teams, but I thought that the “whistle ball” that they were calling in the first half really took UCLA out of its rhythm, especially a couple of the foul calls on Josh Smith that literally took him out of the game. One of the three, not Harris (who I recognized) or the bald guy, was particularly bad. But it was a “team effort” of extreme officiousness and incompetence.

The trick is finding three PAC 12 referees that are not atrocious

Probably, worse odds

than those of flipping through three TV channels without hitting a commercial.

Forget three

I thought the last guy on the list had a hyphenated last name

It made me think of Sid Vicious.

I guess that’s what you get for being as into punk rock as I am.

Punk is just the Opera of the rebellious 70's British youth

It’s hard to separate the two.

I was really taking a chance - is Sid Vicious a punk rocker? Or a pro wrestler? Or a synthetic motor oil?

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. ~ Vince Lombardi
